This is exactly what I wanted after having a much lighter tripod that broke after a few years. This new one is much more substantial and admittedly not easy to transport. It has weight but also reaches the height so I don't have to put it on a table etc. The shoe mount has a standard extra screw. The transmission system to extend the middle basin offers the smallest adjustment. As such, it's excellent for moderate to heavy use, but definitely not easy to transport due to its relatively large weight and volume. The best thing to do is find a cloth bag with a shoulder strap somewhere.
