Have had it for 3 weeks now and am happy with my purchase. It offers a good balance between weight, portability, stability and price. It's not the lightest travel tripod - but it's sturdy enough to hold a larger camera in all possible positions. Nice feature is the possibility to take macro shots (central support can be rotated). My version came with a carrying bag and a second set of 'nail feet' that can be screwed in place of the rubber feet.

I use the tripod with a 7d and 24-105 lens (plus 430ex flash).
The ball head holds everything without problems in all positions and without slipping (much better than expected). Night shots with 30s exposure time with all legs fully extended were possible without shaking (as far as I can tell).
The leg extensions are locked with little effort/turning, but they are still not quite stiff afterwards. (Nothing wobbles, but the segments can be moved sideways to each other even after locking; the more segments are extended, the more noticeable it is. This is definitely worse than expected).
The weight (2kg) has not been a problem so far - the small pack size is very positive: it fits easily into a normal backpack.
(Pack size was the primary purchase criterion. Use for travel/day trips).
Would buy the product again.
