Solid tripod, I have been using mine for...
Solid tripod, I have been using mine for bikepacking and backpacking for years now. I got it with the BC-18 and it works with my Leica SL3 + 14-24 for night exposures. I do have a complaint with RRS customer service though, the screw that held the lever on fell out after a few months. After contacting RRS I was told they would send me a screw this time, but I'd have to pay for any future screws. Which seems like poor customer service for a $300 tripod.
