This is a really nice device but the price ($415) is rather hefty, so for me the Super Polaris + homemade aluminum tripod including a pole finder North and South (all together 10kg) remains my travel setup. And it can carry 5kg (e.g. Televue Genesis + EOS 7 body).
But for people who can bring only limited capacity on a trip it is a good option.
Even a Canon EOS 5 or 7 body + a tank class lens like a 70-300 f/5.6L or 70-200 f/2.8L fits on it (2kg).
