Structure is simple, guided tours in my opinion are very clean, high-quality material acts (the foam pad), and the ball head for my 450D with standard zoom absolutely sufficient ... ne 7D with a total 2,5KG incl. Lens of a colleague hats also held with the quick release plate.
The pistol grip is indeed beginning ne matter of practice, but for fast adjustment and swivel in combination with the ball head I think there's nothing faster.
The only thing that maybe there over time, are the massive, but also a little tight hinges of the legs ... I've already 2 times mitr fingers pinched ... but also habituation thing.
Otherwise absolutely great combination, I would buy again!
