great tripod, sturdy and light. was eyeing for it for sometime, been using a friend's Slik 330? (a heavier version, can old 5kg), the DX can hold only 3kg...but good enough for me, and tall enough ('im 1.79).
only vibe is when compared with manfrotto ProBs, this can't have the 'elbow out' 190proB/550proB is sooo popular here... i feel SLIK is sturdier....*shrugs*.
