Pricey, but if you have the lenses that need this, it's like an insurance policy, or an investment. Great range of heights, deploys quickly and locks securely. This tripod will stand its ground like my mother-in-law in an argument. Not at all difficult to transport.
Pros: solid as a rock, usable minimum height
Cons: expensive, but worth it
