It's gone all over the world, been used to support cameras, fend off animals, dry clothes, etc.. and it's still ticking with just a few scratches and one leg lock starting to stick. I started with a 484RC head (smaller version of the 486 reviewed), but moved on to better heads (now it's mated to the Acratech GV2). Compact enough to fit into a carry-on (minus the head), lashes onto backpacks easily, weight isn't too bad, and cheap enough to replace if it's ever destroyed or lost. By now I've made enough to afford a Gitzo but it's always good to use something that was there from the start and still contributing to this day. I’ve had the 190xb legs for years.

I went a store to test the products and was really impressed. Right now just read a couple of reviews and it is very reassuring to know I made a good choice. I just started getting into photography and loving it alot. So its nice to know I made a great choice. Thanks for your review. I just recently got these exact combo not reading any reviews.
