Beside the lower wight I may not follow your positive experience. The quick release shoe imo is much to complicate. If you have ever tried to mount a large tele in darkness and cold temperature with gloves you know what I mean. The risk that the lens and cam is falling down is high because you don’t have enough feedback that things are really fixed correct. Furthermore you have to use exact the same plates (width) on your lenses otherwise you would have to readjust the shoe with the wrench you hopefully have with you. The other thing that really made me angry was the “Save Lenses Lever“. In principal the idea is a good one avoiding to fall the tele against the tripod while transporting it. But after this short time the stopper on the carbon construction was broken. I think the sharp edges on the metal side slited slightly the carbon. Even more disappointing was the reaction of the manufacturer – they interpreted that the tripod must have had an accident. OK then I think also tele and cam would have been affected. Before I used Wimberley Head for many years also under rough conditions – never had a problem. Design is good, durability and easy to use is better.
PS „…they even included a camo-cover and they even included 2 large sized lensplates“ happy you I did not get them for this very high prize.
