I have one and really like it for a big spotter (85mm gen 2 vortex) mine is actually for sale here on the classifieds it’s the carbon with xpro2 fluid head. I sold my big spotter to get a kowa 554 and no longer need this size tripod is the only reason I am selling it. It super sturdy and smooth. I’ll answer any questions I can for ya regardless of whether your interested in mine.

I looked at this tripod briefly for the same reasons you are. I just couldnt get over the weight. But it was pretty solid. I'm still on the hunt for something with comparable strength with less weight.

Yeah i thought it was pretty heavy also but figure id rather be sturdy then light and save a couple hundred bucks. But i also wouldnt doubt if i end up buying a light weight one in the future also
