I think you missed the point. I didn\'t complain about the G2220\'s functionality, setup, specialization. I complained because:
a) quality is poor
b) Poor customer support

on the G2220 explorer:
most users/purchasers of this particular model and its later versions have 2 distinct opinions:
1- i hate this thing
2- i love this thing
now i currently have a GT2540ex which is the evolved version of of the original G2220 (and i did own one of them and it has been out of the gitzo system a few years now)
what it is not- a generalized tripod
what it is- a good tool in the right hands of those who need or want a set of legs that go beyond the normal limits of the everyday tripod and understand the limits that need to be worked in.
it is not a fast setup model
it occasionally needs adjusting (tightening)
it is heavier the the equivelent standard model
it will do more (again i state in the right hands and its not for everyone)
i shoot a lot with the CF version GT2540ex
one mans poison is anothers pleasure
you know i used it for 4 years i can\'t say that. now i want specifics as to why its poor quality and what failed? and i have dealt with their customer support and with a lttle proper prodding i got what i needed from them. i also use the phone and not email too.
