1) The tripod is still a little too long for my taste. But that's OK. After all that is already known from the article description.
2) After 3 weeks of intensive use I've already lost the rubber foot down so that the tripod on sensitive surfaces (eg marble) is no longer usable because it might damage it otherwise. This can happen for example if one wants to hold the tripod when taking off with one foot on the ground and caught the not intended for this purpose "pedals" with his foot, but occurs on the rubber foot. Exactly this problem had been a colleague of mine. Unfortunately, the rubber foot is not available as an extra accessory from Manfrotto.
