I have owned all the major brands of tripods (fat boy, two vets, etc.) and this is by far the lightest and sturdiest of all of them! I am a huge fan of the hexagon legs and the small head on it.

Super sturdy and can be lightweight to as heavy as you need to be sturdy

I love my Tricer-X1 and Tricer-AK. The tripod is super solid and the head clamps down tightly on both picatinny and ARCA.

I shoot rifles from it and use it to film when I forget my camera tripod, as my camera also uses ARCA for mounting.

Side note: Don't attach adhesives to the legs of the X1. They pull the finish off. No biggie, this thing wasn't meant for that. Shoot guns, spotting scope, film and you're golden.
