Can someone who owns this tripod give me a honest opinion (pros and cons) about it?
Here are pictures of the tripod: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category0094&item872919996&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
Thanks
It is crap. You can get a Manfrotto which is lighter and holds up more weight for nearly the same money.

Agreed. The Velbon is being promoted by Herb Keppler who no doubt is a paid spokesman. Every real person who has used one calls it dreck.
