It's a good 4 inches shorter than many other tripods in this class, but it doesn't skimp out in anything. Very adjustable, handles my 6D Mark II with a 70-200mm lens just fine.

I like that is lightweight and I can easily forget that I'm carrying it. I needed this because is not bulky and enough sturdy to hold my expensive camera gear!!

Great tripod for traveling. It's lightweight, easy to throw in my backpack and sturdy when not fully extended. With that being said, when fully extended, it does tend to wobble and flex a bit. Noticed the wobble/shake when I was taking a few headshots.

I initially purchased another tripod that was advertised as a travel tripod. I found it too long and bulky to carry in or on my backpack. I had big concerns about lightweight, compact and able to hold the weight of my camera and lens. I called and they helped me to determine that the Sirui T-25Sk tripod would better suit my needs. Fully extended legs are thin, but I don't feel it will tip, especially if I hang my backpack on the enter hook to add a little more stability. It slips into the side pocket of my pack and EVEN FITS INSIDE. Looking forward to hiking without a bulky tripod getting hung up on tree limbs, etc. This tripod cost more than double my originally purchased tripod, but I feel it was worth it. I have refrained from taking my camera in certain areas because I needed both hands available to get up or down a hill. I look forward to re-visiting some of those areas with my gear along. I am a medium built 5'3 female. Size and weight matter!

A good quality carbon fiber tripod - small, light weight yet strong. It is a bit flexible when fully extended and with a camera, battery grip and larger zoom lens mounted.....but to some extent that has to be expected. All in all, a good compromise.
