I bought for weather photography this tripod to add my heavy Giotto's something that even under unfavorable conditions served its purpose. For this purpose I was looking specifically for a window mount and found this. It can be easily installed, the disk is protected by Korkeinlagen at the terminals and it keeps with proper mounting absolutely reliable fixed camera. For me a 5DII + 17-40 + BG with two batteries. One point I draw from because it but sometimes a bit creaky and vulnerable acts, so they are afraid to claim the plastic over charge. Really good, I find the small Täschen Cordura, so you can grab the protected disc stand in the trunk. The pack size is okay. I would buy it again and hope that there is still a long time does a good job to me.
