You suppose wrong. I borrowed one from a friend and really tried to like it
-- heavy, bulky, lousy feel IMHO. Too much to drag around for very rare
cases where it has minimal advantage. Not significantly faster to setup
than my Gitzo or Bogen. Haven't used a Unilok but I doubt it's *that* much
better. To each his own but I recommend you try before buying...they aren't
all they are cracked up to be.
