We spent a few minutes in the snow filming the setup of the tripod. In spite of the ice that froze the warm aluminum components when they were dropped in the snow, the tripod went together smoothly.
The demonstration showed what we expected to be true, which is that the tripod can be fully erected with gloved hands, with the exception of the guy cable clips.
The short and long versions are on the Dyacon YouTube site and the product page.
Stay warm.
