"Get what you pay for" 2010-03-14
By Douglas M. Edstrom (Atlanta, ga)
This tripod is about what I expected for a $35 tripod. If you are taking stills with a fairly light camera this thing works pretty good. If your expecting to make a smooth pan you are kidding yourself with this thing. Have a Nikon D90 with a 70-300mm lens that I've put on this to take shots. It will hold it and that's a pretty heavy combo, but did it to see if it could handle it and certainly wouldn't leave it on there overnight. It is easy to extend the legs on this thing and feels pretty sturdy when fully extended. Good tripod for a beginner shooting stills with not a lot of positioning to be done. If you need to pan much don't buy this.

"Great product!" 2010-03-10
By Carisma McVicker (Ohio)
Fantastic product, love that it came with a bag for me to keep it in, easy to carry, not very heavy, does exactly what I need it to do with my SLR and is tall enough to get shots looking down :)

"Good value if you don't need a professional tripod" 2010-02-03
By N. Haack (Milwaukee, WI)
This is not a professional tripod and is not meant to be. If you don't need a professional tripod, however, this one works great. It has a level, good mobility, and is lightweight for going on long shoots.

"Acceptable" 2010-01-30
By Robert Shea (Lakenheath, UK)
The tripod is very lightweight and works as advertised. It comes with the detachable head that more expensive kits ask you to purchase separately. It does reach the advertised 70" height. Which is excellent for my very tall wife, but not so great very stability. We were at a crowded photo shoot and had to catch the tripod a couple of times as other folks easily knocked it over.

The legs extend easily and lock with one hand.

Positioning the head takes some getting used to and you have to work in two planes so panning and scanning are more difficult. It's better for panoramic shots than action shots. If you only pan in plane (football, soccer) it works fairly well. But the plastic head components aren't as smooth as a metal ball and socket.

It will do until I can find a professional tripod kit.

The only real failure was the tongue of the zipper on the carry bag breaking the first trip out. It still zips so...

"not built very well" 2010-01-30
By Helga Brauer
seems like a good item, and seemed sturdy. When I received it, pieces were already broken. I should have bought it in person. the seller obviously doesn't care about his/her customers because the box wasn't even sealed so the seller should have checked the product before sending it out.
