Its Australian Made and the build quality of all the components and the way they work is really high quality !
The diameter of the carbon fibre at the top is small wrist diameter ! - the photo with the cameraman behind illustrates the massive sizes of the carbon tube, a standard photo doesnt really illustrate this well due to the proportions and the 100mm dome head.
The twist lock system is really quick to use (like 10-15 secs to setup) and its rock solid.

I progressed through the Manfrotto range trying to find stability for long focal length lenses and found it in the Solo.
Its also extremely comfortable to carry with camera and long lens attached by resting it over your shoulder. The top section of legs is covered in neoprene making it warm to handle and easy on the shoulders even with 10kg of weight
Otherwise it has its own padded shoulder carry strap
