I have the tripod now for several weeks and am completely thrilled. Both feel and operation are very good. Have to admit, however, that it is only eingeschränckt as travel tripod to use, but I do not think this should be the prmäre application of the stand. As a head I have to order me a ball head of Manfrotto. My system consists of a D90 with the 18-105er glass and a Metz 48 AF-1, this system allows the tripod completely cold and with a tap of the camera (as Wind Simulation) wobbles almost not to the camera.
Conclusion:
A super tripod from Germany with 10 years warranty, I would order at any time.
