I still have my Gitzo tripod with Acratech head from the 1990s. I would be hard 
pressed to justify a new tripod. This looks cool, and the clip with the guy 
opening the tripod legs looks very efficient.

After my ankle heals, I hope to get back to mtn biking with gear and if I ever 
do Bikepacking, it might be justifiable. But then, I never justify my GAS (gear 
acquisition syndrome) that I developed with my Zuikoholism.

I would be curious how well the ballhead works when at 90 degrees. Not sure the 
one dial will be desired, as with my acratech I can level it and used the 
rotation for panos. This one does not appear to be amenable to doing panos.

Still a cool looking gadget.
