I like my Benbo it's very versatile. I have had it perhaps, 30 years? The leg locks are breaking up a bit but being a penny pincher they will probably do another few years, When I do eventually HAVE to replace them I guess they will no longer be available...

It's quite sturdy, I have adapted to to be a makeshift monopod, the legs are 'upside down' so you can stand it in rivers or mud without the mud getting into the slides. It's particularly good for low level stuff, you can hang the camera under the tripod for mushrooms or as I do occasionally as a remote GoalCam.

Mine is the middle model, there is a much larger version which I felt was unhandy for my needs.
