I've got an opposite impression on the ultra maxi. About a week after
bought, I took it with e300 and tamron 80-200, played with them for couple
hours until the total weight broke one of the twist locks of my ultra maxi
legs. Maybe it is just a defective item, but since then the fragility
towards Velbon products has already been imprinted on my memory, it also
keeps reminding me not to try to mount the tamron on any other portable
tripod ever again...
