Maybe this is a silly question but why care or use levels on the tripod? Tripods have movable heads, so if the tripod is level and the camera on the head is not what good did it do to level the tripod? Remember, Stressed spelled backward is Desserts.

However I watched a video on the Costco website and it looks a bit short as it's only 5' tall with the center section fully extended. Anyone find this to be a problem? Also haw stable is it as the angle of the legs in the first notch looks kind of narrow? -- Eric --

I'm sure someone here has already tested the stable of this tripod but just in case I will check it out tonight. Okay, so I'm wondering the same thing too. Will test it with a 7D and 70-200L sitting on top. Remember, Stressed spelled backward is Desserts.

Haven't really tested the stability but w center column fully extended it stands close to 6 feet tall I think, I'm 6 feet tall and I felt comfy w it My Camera: Canon T1i

I'm 5'8" and it will place the viewfinder of my 5D II above my eye level, so I doubt that's correct. Perhaps that's w/o the head??? 5D Mark II | 24-70L | 70-200 f/2.8L IS II | 40 Pancake | 50 1.8 II

Put the head on there, add the height of the camera, and no problems for an average height person.
