3 Legged Thing - Punks Rick Carbon

This is a mini review because it is going back! Unfortunately the specification does not agree with the actual product. The folded size is 360mm when the spec says 320mm. Not a big difference I agree, but it is a travel tripod and size does matter, most especially if it won't fit in your Peli! It also does not extend quite as high as the spec either, although this is less of a worry. Mind you it would be going back anyway as it is so wiggly it is to all intents and purposes not fit for use except at very low level. Shame as their other stuff seems to get good reviews. (yes, I have contacted 3LT with my findings).

I find my Dave is a bit wiggly at times, much better than the old Mark 1 3LT I had that was replaced under warentee, but still wiggly.
