OK so this lot arrived at lunch time, pretty quick delivery, I was not at first impressed with the tripod it seemed a bit low and the legs didn't go as wide as I thought they might, but I had not noticed that they were 3 section legs not 2 sections so it did go higher and wider, the legs appear to be grey anodised aluminium and have an orange spike protector on the bottom of each leg, it comes in its own black nylon carry bag.

The legs are not fully adjustable, they have the same fittings as ridge tents do, that little hole with a spring loaded button that pops through to lock them, always found them to be a pain in the finger end, but they have thought of that and the chain height locking pin is also the leg button pusher in pin, if that makes any sense at all, I got 4 dark blue enamelled normal size mugs and 4 porridge bowls in the same blue enamel. the cook pots are light weight and come in a brushed aluminium, the handles lock up right and the larger one has a level indicator stamped in to it with markings up to 6 litres, and as a litre of water weighs a kilogram, the tripod should be well capable of holding over 6kg.

During the new year go-outdoors sale I bought the outwell cook set large, it has 2 stainless steel pots and a non stick frying pan for a lid, I will most likely be using these with the tripod, it should work well over my firepit any way.
