For the price, excellent January 6, 2009
Timothy Hui
It holds up the camera, quick release works well, the metal doesn't feel like it's about to break. Overall, for the price, you can't do better.

Good Tripod, Does What It's Supposed To January 6, 2009
S. Jones
The tripod seems sturdy and has all the standard functions of a tripod. It's light enough to carry around and take with you on photo shoots, though probably not light enough for a backpacking trip. It's about a foot and half long when it's fully collapsed.

Great Tripod November 10, 2008
M. Holden
I use it for a DVD recorder and a camera. It is a nice solidly made tripod. It is simple to use and stores away nicely. I would purchase it again.

Adequate, not great even for a cheap tripod July 6, 2008

The elevation control (the tilting controlled by the large twist handle, not the thing which raises or lowers the center column) is a little shaky - when you tighten the control to lock elevation in place it will always be off from where you aimed.
Also, I wouldn't count on the levels for any serious work/projects. I've used this tripod for panoramas, but in order to get usable level shots I need to eyeball the center column and pan head for square a couple dozen times, adjust the legs accordingly.

That's perfectly reasonable for a cheap (under $30) tripod.

What's not reasonable is that after a dozen or so uses one of the leg latches broke and now I can't extend the middle section of the tripod. I expect better than that even for a toy tripod like this one.

Light and quality build. March 29, 2008

Usually when something is so light you would think it's cheaply built. Not this. Very good product and smooth as silk. Everything overall is awesome.
