Secced tripods?

[Cal]

Hi.

Just seeing if anyone has had any experience with Secced tripods? Been told that Sachtler didn't renew patents and the some designs were picked up by Secced, a chinese company.

I'm told the build quality is very good and that you wouldn't be able to tell them apart in feel, but I'm unable to check them out in person due to location.

So, any advice much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
