FLM makes top end tripods that compete with the likes of Gitzo and RRS.
The Gitzo GT1555T retails for $770 USD.
The RRS TQC-14 retails for $850 USD.

The Gitzo is closest to the FLM unit.
When you consider the current $425 USD price, it seems like a pretty good deal. It's not everyone's cup of tea but for those that want the best in a travel tripod, this might be it.
