Mine arrived yesterday as well. Pretty decent overall. This thing is a beast compared to my usual tripod.
Quick tip, I went to the hardware store and got a 2" compression spring. Placed it on the shaft of the hook between the bottom cap and the insert the hook screws into. This keeps the hook retracted when not needed.
