lots of weight on the tripod and it handled it with no problem.

you may want to buy a light pair of legs to do really long hikes, but if you can handle the weight, this tripod is spectacular, and very low priced.
from "Ken", www.adorama.com
can handle the weight of a mamiya rb67 or most 4x5 view cameras (unless you're thinking of a studio-weight camera, where the 700dx is (gasp!) too light).
from www.amazon.com
it's nice to have, but the tripod only fits into it with one or both of the pan-head handles detached.

one minus though is that when you want to store it in the carrying bag you have to disassemble one handle to get it in the bag.

as others have mentioned, its not the most sturdy tripod, and the tightening mechanism is not absolute, but surprisingly it can handle my nikon d80 to my satisfaction.

i tried using my "canon 20d" with "28-135mm is" lens on it, but it was a little too much for the head to handle, and had to support the majority of the weight with my other hand.

i use it with a hand held video camera and can easily handle my canon 40d.

only a couple of minor drawbacks: it would have been nice if it had a hook at the bottom of the center post, and a handle for carrying it in the collapsed position would have been an added bonus.

the only problem i have with this tripod is the handle to adjust the height feels flimsy and brittle.

the carrying handle is hard to grasp, as the legs get in the way when closed -- so the handle is really only helpful when repositioning it with the legs open.
