Neotec Tripod

[zeckdude]

Hello all,

I was at a photography seminar yesterday and the one of the photographers there had his tripod with him. It was a Manfrotto Neotec 458B. This tripod looked amazing how fast you could pull the legs out and lock them into place without the use of any buttons or knobs. Here's a link to what I'm referring to:

I personally love the ease and quickness of being able to set up a tripod so fast.

My question to you all is: What are your thoughts on this design? Has anybody ever used it? Are there any other tripods out there that feature this same quick setup ability or something similar?
