The legs are very sturdy and lightweight (3.5 lbs) at the same time and also the legs are independently adjustable so they are great for leveling on uneven surfaces. This is the first time I've ever used a ball head and it took time to get used to. I didn't think about this when I bought is but it is much harder to do landscape photos with a ball head since you cannot independently make horizontal rotation without affecting the vertical shift. I would say that was the only down side with the head.
For the legs, the only downside I can think of is the locks for the legs. Instead of the common quick release lock, BO 190XDB uses screw lock, which means you have to screw and unscrew every time you want to release the legs. Although this is disadvantageous, it was very easy to release the legs and worked very smoothly .
Overall, I would definitely recommend this tripod to anyone who is looking for a solid tripod for a good price value. I'm hoping to do a video review on this tripod so check back again sometime soon!
