Pros
  • Good stability , Easy and smooth action leg locks, Light weight
Cons
  • Centre column slightly sticky to move up with a weight on.
I use this tripod with a 501 head to support a scope and finder scope weighing 2Kg. So the overall load at 3.5Kg is well within rated capacity. I have added another 1.5Kg camera to this with no adverse affects on stability.
In comparison to the aluminium leg version the legs show less deflection under a heavy (greater than rated) load.
Wind stability performance - despite its very light weight, side by side comparisons with the aluminium leg version showed them to be similar. (y) (y)

The price indicated is for the view kit which includes the 701RC2 head.
