Question: Slik U8000  how high does it raise fully extended? It seems that is not mentioned.
Document: I've had a few 'light weight' tripods literally topple over from wind because of the camera's weight being 3-5x more than the pod, top heavy, something this tripod doesnt have an issue with.The 'weak' part on this is the arm to lower and raise the boom, sadly it fell one day with the arm extended and it snapped off.
After using this tripod for years, I keep reading that I should purchase a "light-weight" carbon fiber tripod for $300 or more, but when I look at the detail, they weigh about what the Slik U8000 weighs. I prefer the quick-release clasps on the legs on this tripod to the screw-tight ones. One poster here said you couldn't use this on hills, but that is wrong - you can set the legs at different heights very easily.
the tripod is all that i expected and more :) it seems very durable and i look forward to using it. It extends to quit a tall height and i love the 3 way pan had. BUY THIS ONE! its great for the money
I have had my U8000 for almost 20 years now. It's been to Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and all over North America. It's not small but it's pretty light for its size, and yet still holds my gear firmly and precisely after all this time. Everything still works, even with my new camera.
A friend refered me to this Tripod, she has had her's for 20 years without a problem. I ordered one and seems to be everything as described. I'am a big believer in "you get what you pay for" but every once in a while I'm proven wrong. For the price this is a GREAT Tripod!
I'm very careful with the crank handle especially. Another good reason to get the bag. Another minor quibble is the quick release - it requires a screwdriver to attach it to the camera. I much prefer some sort of lock knob.NOTE: The picture shown next to the item description is NOT a U8000. It is a U9000, which has the rubber/spike tip feet and a bubble level. The U8000 does not have those features. If Amazon has fixed the photo, ignore this.
Nice, high quality, budget tripod. There are certainly better ones out there, but this is easily twice as good as similarly priced options from Best Buy. The difference between a Dynex tripod and this is night and day. The head is very smooth. Probably not suited for professional work, but for my part time corporate stuff, it works great.
This is the second one of these tripods I bought for my husband. The crank to raise and lower it broke off the first one in a way that cannot be repaired. Unfortunately, that kind of thing does happen over time. I considered other tripods this time, particularly the taller ones, but in the 10 years we had the first one, we never had a situation where we wished it could do something else, so I decided to buy another one of these.
This tripod holds my heaviest SLR and lenses no problem. It puts my viewfinder as high up as I can get my eye, maybe an inch or two more. I'm 5'4" without shoes, so unless I'm going to stand on phone books, I don't need anything taller. If you are taller and feel the need for a taller tripod, I'd recommend the next model up, but the same brand and design.And it has a really easy to use quick release.
If Slik wanted me to believe it was a fluid head, I couldn't suspend my disbelief...not after putting it up once. I returned it immediately. No more Slik for me.
Answer: I'm disagreeing with the numbers below.  By my measurements, fully extended and stable, the height is about 63".  In addition, the specs list the following information:  Length folded-23 1/4", Max operating height - 59 1/12", Max center column ext - 11 5/6", Weight 3lbs 5oz.
