This is a medium weight tripod that punches above its weight. It is sturdy enough for a medium weight dslr or 35mm film camera with motor drive. However, using it with a very long lens could be stretching it a bit. It is quite ok as a luggable, lightweight, portable 'scope tripod for field use. It is well designed and very well manufactured, and takes quite a lot of punishment in the field.
The use of thumb-screws for leg adjustment may not suit everyone, and it is wise to double check these for tightness before mounting a camera. The angle of each leg is individually adjustable, to give low level capability or compensate for very uneven ground. Also, the centre stem can be inverted. There are a wide variety of heads that can be fitted, and the platform has locking screws that prevent a Manfrotto head from twisting and coming loose.
Overall, this is a very good tripod in my view, and complements other much heavier and more complex tripods. It is very good value for money - there are cheaper tripods, but Manfrottos last and can be 'systemised' with alternative heads and QR plates, etc. My other (heavier) classic 190 is over 12 years old; it is a bit battered, but still performs like new.

I find in this life that you get what you pay for and this is the case here. This tripod is solid, easy to extend yet light enough to carry around without too much trouble. This is the second one of these I have purchased and this improves on the old model. Good price and value for money making it hard to justify paying two and three times the price to save a few grams. This tripod easily copes with a Canon 7D fitted with a heavy Sigma 500MM lens

I bought this for my husband as he is doing freelance video work for a while. He has not used it in the field yet but he is very happy with it so far. Very sturdy and as he is 6'5" I wanted to get a tripod that could be tall enough for him to use without having to hunch too much. It does the trick and he can't wait to properly use it.

Very nice
Big enough for everything except massive lenses on pro cameras. Perfectly fine for up to 200 to 300 mm lenses used by the rest of us
