Q: 4. Are the leg twist locks difficult to turn? As I have gotten older, the leg twist locks on my Gitzo G340 are getting too difficult to turn and cause me joint pain. Hence, I am looking for a new tripod.

A: All twist locks need to be tightened securely in order to allow for maximal stability. However, I wouldn't consider these locks to be any more (or less) difficult to turn than those other new tripods. Some people who have difficulty torquing the twist locks may prefer to opt for legs with flip locks such as those on this tripod: Giottos Pro Series 8383 Carbon Fiber YTL Silk Road Tripod BH #GIYTL8383 https://bhpho.to/38c06Mh
