I was nervous for this order, because it took ages at the dutch customs and that's the best place to let things dissapear. The manufacturer and transporter had it there within days by the way, so no blame on them. Today my tripod arrived, AND AS EXPECTED IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ELEBORATED AND STRONGEST PIECE OF CRAFTSMENSHIP I EVER SAW! Every thing functions perfect. From the huge and to the smallest detail perfect designed and manufactured core of the tripod to the legs and the joints, it feels good and strong. Now i hope the daily practice will prove my impression is right. Thanks Artcise and again you carry your name well: art and precision!
Nice tripod! I am a pro real estate photographer. I've purchased $1200. tripods. This one for the money is amazing. Pros: Very sturdy, holds a lot of weight, extends very high and amazing price. Cons: A little on the heavy side by 1lb and the twist locks are a little tight at first. I would recommend for anyone looking for a beefy and sturdy tripod.
