This thing is built like a tank!!! Yet super light and quick to setup!! I love the lever lock head easy to adjust and lock, legs are extra thick and have no flex with a heavy rifle sitting on top!! I also use it with my Vortex Razor 85 mm spotting scope and it sits sold even in the wind!!

Tripod is functioning as advertised. Can’t wait to get out in the field in some awkward positions.
