I bought this while saving funds for an athlon tripod. The tripod arrived in great shape but the bubble level was missing and nowhere in the unopened box leaving me to believe that it wasn't in there when it left the manufacturer. I emailed the manufacturer, bog, and their customer service was quick to respond but said they were unable to send a bubble as they don't have spare parts. So just beware you won't be able to get spare parts if something is missing. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase and love the great service from A and J and will continue to support them!
Excellent tripod for Midwest hunting and target shooting. It won't break the bank. Very fast shipping.
