I picked this one up at Costco. I like a lot about it except for the quick release apparatus....it doesn't seem easy to use nor does it seem secure when I think it is locked in. Anyone else have this issue? Is there another brand quality tripod with an easy quick release?

I don't know it but I googled it, you get what you pay for even with named gear.

Only takes 4k capacity that means put any decent head on it or anything more than a standard dslr and small lens and it will be a problem.

You can not use it with a decent lens and heavy dslr

I don't have any gear that will max out the 9 lb head, anything heavier I would hire a friggin caddy to carry it for me. :-)
