A small nit pick, but I REALLY don't like the "sliding" leg angle adjustment piece. The spring loaded knob/lever on my cheap $100 tripod is WAAAAAY easier to use. Am I the only one who feels this way? I have never heard any mention of it, but I do wish it were different.

I, too, think the Gitzo leg angle adjustment sucks compared to the Manfrotto design!

Agreed, it feels cheap compared to Manfrotto's design.

I like the simple slide tab of the Gitzo. There isn't any mistaking the position of the leg angle and whether the angle tab is engaged or not. This was a problem with the Manfrottos I had. At times, the spring-loaded tab didn't engage properly and required a reload and set.
