This is a very nice piece of equipment. I did fumble with it a little bit in trying to figure out just how much torque is appropriate for tightening the leg extension locking mechanisms, but it works a little better now that I've practiced with it. I'm taking these sticks (tripod) to Wyoming for elk hunting in three days, and expect they will be very useful. I'll follow up with another review if my opinion changes.

I bought this tripod for my first elk hunt in Eastern KY. I love it! It is very sturdy. The only drawback is that you should have an idea of whether you'll be sitting, kneeling or standing ahead of time. If I'm stalking, I usually keep it fully extended and carry in one hand. Works great as a bipod too, just don't flip out the 3rd leg.

I am a double amputee, (lost left arm & leg) and this makes shooting one handed much easier. Easy to set up & very stable.
