Pros: Unfolds Quickly, Good Stability, Lightweight, Folds Small
Best Uses: Long Exposures, Photography, Portraits, Reducing Noise (ISO Reduction), Stabilization

I had to replace my 20-year-old SLIK because one of the leg clamps broke (caused by my inattention to what I was doing at the time). I loved my old SLIK and was sure nothing could match it. This one nearly does. It is so lightweight - so much easier to transport with my gear. The three-way pan head works well but I am attached to the pistol-grip single action panhead from my old tripod, so I switched it out. Now it's almost perfect - I would have liked retractable spikes for more stability on dirt surfaces - but this will do well nevertheless.

A week in Paris and environs - oh la la!We spent a day in Chartres, 12th-century town. Absolutely beautiful and seemingly frozen in time - except for all the cars and motorcycles. The first beheadings of the French Revolution took place here.
