OK I have had it a few days and tried it in the real world, its good and bad, good bits are the post above is correct, and better than I say, but there is a bad bit, if you want a stable platform when taking a still life, you need to used delay or a remote release as there is some head movement due to the buffer rubber in the main frame being a little too soft, far better for when the centre column is fully extended to stop any downward movement, but not hard enough to stop the vibration when using the fire button but for a travel tripod, in carbon, it is perfect and the price is far too cheap for this compared to the equivalents out there.
I have taken a shot with camera pointing at the TV cabinet and left it for 2 days, taken another shot and there is absolutely no creep, but it is brand new and cheap so I do expect it to wear faster than a premium in a few monts, so I will just stick a more expensive head in and have a very cheap but sturdy platform.
