Although I have other brands of geared tripod, I purchased this one as it is particularly lightweight (approx tripod only 1.4kg) and its folded diameter is reasonably small. Leg locking mechanism is smooth. The centre column locking mechanism on the tripod head is solid. With C32G geared column gives me 2m height. The geared racking is very smooth. Could do with a locking screw on the top plate but minor issue. My only issue on the C32G would be the handle could be designed collapsable to take less space when packed. It can be taken off but secured with a screw. The free 3 red wheels are well made and it's design saves me using a heavier and more bulky tripod dolly. The wheels cannot be locked. The C32T is solid and can be used with the centre column or geared column and with 32mm extension tubes. This provides a very lightweight, solid horizontal boom arm option. Although you can buy their counterweights, I would like to see an end hook as an option for using your own counterweight like a small bag. I was using the much heavier Manfrotto boom arm. If you need a high quality tripod, fairly portable, lightweight, has wheels for mobility, has option for geared column or shooting downwards with boom arm this system is highly recommended.
