Very durable and most importantly I trust it with my camera. Should be for the price. The build quality is excellent. I would have easily paid $100 more for it if there had been some decent reviews. Trust me, your camera will be happy here. Thing is rock solid when tightened properly. 3 cold boots is the perfect amount. They have plenty of holes for whatever your heart desires to add to the rig. Maybe longer rods would be nice but I'm assuming they're standard size as you can always buy longer, it's a 'rig' after all. LOVE IT and if I get a second GH4 I will buy this setup again.
