I never fly so I transport it in my truck. I don't have a problem throwing the tripod, my 1DMIV, Wimberley II, and 800 over my shoulder and walking aways.
I had a Gitzo GT5541 and sold it. I find this a more stable platform.
As I said it's the one for me and most may not like it.
This shot was taken with the 1DMIV, Canon 800mm, 1.4X Extender.
ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/30th, @ f/8. Given the focal length and slow shutter speed a stable platform helped. And it wasn't where I banged off hundreds of shots and happened to find one good one, it was one of three taken.
I think I paid around $350.00 for it. Like I said I had a Gitzo GT5541 so price was a factor in my decision.
