While much too small for anything I own, except my still cameras, I do dig the green.

I never understand these things. Is this real? Why would someone buy a tripod with non-standard colors and weird signatures on it when they can just get the normal one? Is it cheaper or something?

It's about 20 percent cheaper for some reason ?

?? See that D on the end of the B&H SKU? That means aluminum...

Also, it is NOT cheaper than the other Ace M aluminum sticks.

The Freddie Wong edition is an ACE L tripod, not M tripod.

Looks like it's an ACE L head with alum sticks usually packaged with M heads. At least, I don't see another ACE L kit with alum legs.

So it's cheaper because of the aluminum sticks instead of CF sticks.

More like "Sum Ting Wong". A bit garish with those atomic green accents and the poka dotted bag. Seems out of character for a Sachtler product.
