My Feisol CT3442 Tournament legs are about ten years old and show no signs of wear or age as yet. They've been used a lot.
I looked up the latest version and note that they've been uprated to 55lbs load and have the new "rapid anti-leg-rotation" technology in the leg locks. The anti-rotation gizmo would be nice, it would speed up their use a good bit. As I said, I find the weight ratings absurdly optimistic—even the old ones!—but a set of these legs will handle an 8lb+ camera and long lens very well. They're also very light and easy to carry: all up weight of legs and head with carry bag is four and a quarter pounds IIRC.
