That's too bad you didn't like it....for steep ground I've just been adjusting the length of the leggs and while not as good as having an angled leg it works okay....no idea why they didn't add that feature tho
I just prefer the versatility of it....as just a tripod yes there is better out there(RRS) ...but it's a tripod, bipod, mono pod, trekking poles & tent poles
Its solid enough to shoot as far as I've ever wanted while sitting down, as I hate trying to go find a place to shoot prone in the steep stuff. I also hate packing trekking poles and a tripod and bipod.
The cost isnt too bad once you take advantage of its versatility
