It looks good, Moose.  I bought my Velbon Maxi on your recommendation a few 
years ago and I still have it and use it occasionally.  But that was only 
.75kg.  The UT43 is 1.4kg and yours is about 1.23kg.  That's quite a difference 
to shove into a suitcase for airline travel.

Well, there are specs and there are specs, and some of them are accurate and ...

I just weighed the legs alone:

Max i 343e = 804 g.

Ut-45L = 906 g.

Ut-45L legs with QHD-41Q head = 1030 g.

As I would use the same head with either, the difference is quite small, at 102 
g.

As a step down in size and weight from the Manfrotto I've carried the last few 
years, that's a big improvement.
