But it's really very convenient. Short & can be put inside the camera bag easily. It's made of aluminum but weight only 1.1KG.
If Lens + Ball Head + Body is less than 3.5KG, think should be ok.
I don't think there is any tripod more compact than this one. Good for traveling.
I saw it when I got my Billingham Hadley Pro bag at K13. Really tempted.
Anyone using ?
There is. The Sirui T1205x and it has weight rating of 10kgs. and it is even lighter. 800g.
