It performed perfectly with my 1DMk3 and EF100-400 zoom mounted on a Wimberley lens plate. It was very steady even in a strong breeze. I am a touch over 6′ and it extends to a comfortable height. When I first looked at how tiny it was I didn’t believe it could be anything like as rigid as it turned out to be. I still love my 3530LS with the Arca Z1 ballhead but I wouldn’t dream of trying to pack it for travel. Maybe one day when I spring for big glass I’ll have to 🙂
The little Giotto head fits just right between the feet when the ‘pod is folded too.
