I'd purchased the EM31 Pro mount, so it made sense to obtain this tripod system as well to accompany that.

The additional extension legs and adjusters all fit together easily and solidly, no wobble here! When opened up the tripod has an extremely wide stance, which makes it very stable.

Attaching the EM31 Pro mount is a breeze, taking literally seconds, and when fitted there's absolutely no movement anywhere. As an experiment I deliberately tried to make the whole rig tip over, but the only way I could do so was to physically lift one leg up up off the ground until I could forcibly push it over - this set up is not going anywhere soon!

This was one of my main concerns - how stable would it actually be - but I needn't have worried, it's absolutely rock solid!

For me, the best thing of all is its light weight - even with the mount attached I can easily pick the whole thing up and move it with very little effort, which makes my back very happy.

I'm unable to compare it to any alternative carbon fibre tripod options, of which there are a few, but I honestly feel you'd be pushing it to find a better quality one than this.
