Darin, Just think of them as demented bagpipes - with a mind of their
own ! ( I am sure Donald would agree.)
For straightforward shots they are no better - or worse _ than a
"normal tripod" perhaps being slightly more difficult to use.
However they really come into their own for low level or awkward
shots.
Once you get used to the Benbo it really is a very good tripod, I
would not be without mine.
