Query: Great for the price

I went into the purchase knowing "caveat emptor" and "you get what you pay for". I've been extremely satisfied with this product.The locking tabs on the legs are sturdy and I don't fear them slipping. In fact, all of the securing tension mechanisms work very well.My only gripe is the camera quick-release isn't so quick. It takes some force to open and close the locking mechanism.It's not a lightweight tripod, but again... it's inexpensive.That all said, my only worries are:The handle and gears of the telescoping column are plastic and I worry about breaking it. Make SURE you're released the tension on the column before trying to lift or close it!Despite a heavy carrying weight, it is on the light side when planted (legs aren't far enough apart, IMO) and there is no hook to hang a weight on.For an introductory-mid level tripod, this is a bargain. I look forward to using it for 2-3 years at least.
