Did you read the other thread Steve? Steve Babbs had the tripod with the broken clip replaced and is very happy with it.
Seems like those who are using them like them.
And just in case anyone is confused the Jessops tripod is made from magnesium (spider) and carbon fiber. Perhaps in the same Chinese factory as the Velbons.
Each to his own.
Jessops replaced mine today, due to a cracked leg clamp (it still actually worked), apart from my worry about it happening again, I love this tripod. Very light and, considering the weight, very stable.
i have just picked up a jessops major carbon fibre tripod in new condition from a well known internet auction site - for just £60.00. i am well pleased and see no problems that i think cannot be resolved i.e. leg clamps they just need fine tuning for the correct tension and seem strong enough
