i will admit that it is the first real quality tripod i have owned, as i do a lot of hiking and don't want the weight of a tripod.
from www.adorama.com
i use it with my canon digital slr.
from www.adorama.com
use it for my rz, 4x5, seitz roundshot, xpan, and digital slr.

only negative is weight it is heavy so it would not be the best for backpacking but for everything else it will not fail.
from "Barking dog", www.adorama.com
it may be a little on the heavy side for backpacking but for short hikes it will work great.

i bought this tripod to take hiking and to be able to use it for macro rock and flower photography.

and given my need for a head that could work well for both my slr and my video camera, the ball heads were out.

it is still a great tripod and i'd recommend it for light usage: a bit heavy for hiking; complaint #1 isn't a problem for portraits; works good for night stills; etc.
from www.amazon.com
this tripod is lightweisght (compared to bogen) yet stable enough agains high wind and a 70-300 zoom lens with a medium size slr body.
from www.amazon.com
overall this is an excellent tripod, great stability for small and medium slr's.

or buy a slik and get out there an tear up the landscape with your slr and your digital camera and take great pix.
