This is a travel tripod for cameras and other styles of equipment. It's lightweight, and folds up really small. Comes with a small carrying bag too. Folds out as short tripod, and has several heights. The max height is pretty tall (see photos). I'm just casually into photography. So this is actually a bit excessive for my needs. All the features are nice to have, but can be a bit overwhelming when you're just trying to make some small adjustments. There are so many buttons, levers, clips, etc. Really make sure those legs are tightened before setting it up, as there's nothing more annoying than one leg starting to slide down since to tighten, you need to twist the legs. The camera leveling base is the most appreciated feature. It's just faster than trying to work with a 2 axis system on cheaper tripods.Currently on sale for $159.99 with a $20 coupon. It's a great tripod, but is it worth $140? That's hard to say. I don't think so, but I'm not even an amateur photographer. I appreciate all the bells and whistles, but am not sure it's worth that much.
