Changed my camera system up to the nikon Z9 attaching it to the z800mm lens.. My Benro was not even close to being able to handle the lens, But i was unhappy with the Benro from the day i got it so this was my time to upgrade.
Searched around and decided for the quality and price over everything else out there Loefoto was the best choice.
Purchased the LM404 and attached the Pg-1 Gimbal... First thing i noticed was the massive size difference, but not a problem I knew i was getting into a pro grade tripod..
I got out with it after 2 weeks of rain and at first i was kinda turned off with the stability, I expected more.
After contacting the company and explaining to them,it was suggested i use the spiked feet.
I went out that night and with the spikes feet and this thing is rock solid... 25 mph winds down here in swfl with my z9 and z800 lens attached, The thing didnt move!
So all in all if you looking for a great priced tripod that going to last you at least 10 years ( Via the 10 Year warr) and is solid as a rock then go for it
