    I have been pleased overall with lightness and versatility. It really is very light. If you are taller then you may be dissapointed in the height fully extended.

    Great Travel Tripod

    This is a very handy travel tripod.
    Lightweight and compact, it is easy to carry.
    I wish it would extend a little taller, but otherwise, great.

    It's an OK tripod but---

    Fully extended it is too short for someone 6'1" tall. Takes too much time to set up full extension. Will not be used much because of this. Nice size when compacted. Is about what I expected for the money!

    This is a well-built and sturdy tripod. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that when folded it is a little longer (15 inches) than I would prefer. Slik does make more compact tripods that fold to about 9 inches in length, which I find to be more convenient.

    Good compromize

    The tripod is a good compromise between heavy-duty one and extremely light travel one. It is sturdy enough to hold modern high-end digital cameras. The legs can be well secured with the twist locks. Its weight is 640 grams and folded length is 40 cm. However, it is not that small to keep it on the belt (need a backpack). Generally, I have been quite happy with it.
