Smaller than expected - BOG DeathGrip Shepra Carbon Fiber Tripod

I bought the Shepra and the infinite because the descriptions were vague. I returned the Shepra. It's to small for my purposes. It's only a few inches shorter than the Infinite but in achieving that height it becomes very unstable and impossible to hold on target. They both can go prone but for just over a half pound more (4.5lbs for the Shepra and 5.1lbs for the Infinite), the Infinite is a lot more stable at full height. I'm 5'10" and need to stoop a little bit to sight on level ground at standing position with the Shepra. In the standing position with the Infinite, it's just a little high at full height. Both work great in the prone position. They are both difficult to adjust height and they both have a smooth angle adjustment ball swivel. Nether one of them are able to hold the angle after firing a 300wm even when cranking down as hard as I can on the swivel tensioner knob. A lever would be better for tightening it than a knob. But for the price point compared to the incredibly more expensive light weight tripods, I feel it will be effective. The quality is pretty good. It was very difficult for me to pull the trigger on spending an outrageous amount of money that they want for some aluminum and carbon fiber, but for the $360 I did spend on the Infinite, I am satisfied.
