i do a lot of hiking and photography on uneven ground.

dont buy this tripod if you are planning to use it w some heavy slr camera.
from www.amazon.com
even though the manufacturer suggests not using this tripod for slrs, i have no problems using it with my cannon digital rebel slr, even with the 70-300mm telephoto.
from www.amazon.com
but more importantly, i often don't want to advertise that i am carrying a slr by strapping a tripod to my bag or carrying it in my hand.
