I was looking for a light but sturdy leg and read about the DESMOND tripods. Anybody else use them (or own one)? What are your thoughts?

DCF-432 and DCF-428.

It looks like another of a myriad Chinese knockoffs.
Is there a North American service center?

They are only distributed from the USA, hence I asked.

I have a DCF-428. Have had no problems and it's been working great for me. It's fit and finish really surprised me. Very nicely made and pretty sturdy.

I mentioned in another thread that a local photographer I know, and have spent time shooting with, has the 432 model. He's had his for a little over a year, and his use is almost 100% outdoors. He doesn't baby it (quite the opposite in fact).

It seemed well made and finished, at least a match for the Induro tripod I was using at the time.
