I didn't, since I've never been in a position to be able to afford a second tripod (my current tripod is a Velbon El Carmagne 640, another very good model. Velbon seems to be underrated most of the time.), however I did hear back from a few people I sold it to, and they seemed very pleased with it. One guy took it up into the Sierra Nevada range with him, and he didn't say anything about having problems with it.
