ngSMCompare this to the Globetrotter Carbon Fiber version and you'll see that the 3LT is superior. For me the premium price is worth it.

I'm a bit skeptical towards the design, especially the center column. Common wisdom is that center of mass should be as close to the intersection of the legs to reduce torsional oscillation - this center column, even collapsed, is way too tall (but it is removable). This is also reflected in the minimum height - even my Gitzo 5-series monster goes lower. It's not exactly light either, 1.9 kg compared to my old Gitzo Mountaineer G1128 which weighs in at 1070 grams without center column, about 1200 g with center column. Also, five sections means a lot of flex points.
There are very few reviews out there - I'd wait until there are more.

I second draw4.4ward's question above. I would like to get more than one optional add-on (clawz and the QR plate) but the way the drop down is currently set up prevents this. So, Massdrop, when are you going to fix this?

I have their Vyv model from the Peak Design Messenger Combo drop and it's a great tripod. I assume this is even better.
The man behind the company is very passionate about making well built tripods. The price might seem high until you look into other similar models. Carbon fiber is expensive.

henrymyfFrom all the reviews it's well built and really thought out. I have a smaller aluminum model and I think its great.

henrymyfI have the 3LT Brian and it's awesome for a travel/outdoors tripod. Goes to insane heights, super easy to get to all angles, compresses down tiny, quite light. Handles a lot of weight. Stable in the wind. The ball head is smooth and the panning feature is nice also.
One of the legs is detachable as a monopod also which I think is handy too. Can double as a walking stick.

UPS dropped off my tripod today. Folds up a lot more compact that I thought it would - easily carried externally on a backpack. Looking forward to putting it to some real world use. In the mean time, good job, Massdrop!!
