Review on ARTCISE AS90CG Carbon Fiber Bowl Tripod - Ultra Stable Camouflage Heavy Duty Tripod for Professional Cameras, 88lbs/40kg Load Capacity by Jessie Vrbensky

Fantastic product and great price

Received this tripod yesterday and so far I'm really impressed. I plan to use it for landscape photography this weekend, which should be a lot better than using my other tripod (an inexpensive Vanguard). I think Vanguard will stay in the trunk of my car for the times I don't have Artcise with me. The package arrived in perfect condition and the item was in perfect condition. I'm 6ft tall and the tripod is too big for me with all legs fully extended. With the legs locked in the position required for maximum height, the leg angle is about 26 degrees (maybe even a little wider). From my point of view, a leg angle of 25 degrees or more is recommended for maximum stability - another plus point for Artcise! I can't explain the build quality other than saying it's better than any tripod I've used before. It's strong but not very heavy, so transporting it shouldn't be a problem. I didn't think I would like camouflage bandages but I was wrong - they look amazing and are very comfortable. The wraps and bag are darker than the photos in Revain and I think they match perfectly and enhance the packaging. I paid for expedited shipping which was less than $10 and received the tripod within a week of placing my order. I can't imagine any other tripod that does so much for such a small price.
