5 out of 5 stars Quality product, just as pictured.   May 12, 2008

The price paid for this was very low and I wasn't expecting such a quality tripod. This tripod is made with quality materials and is very sturdy. All the adjustments work great on this tripod and it is a quality item. The 3-way panhead and quick release shoe are all a plus. I highly recommend this quality and low-priced tripod. If you are looking for a quality tripod and don't want to spend a fortune then get this Velbon DF-40.

the tripod itself is clumpsy, the legs are plastic and they are kind of clumpsy. overall good for the money


4 out of 5 stars A good entry level tripod   March 25, 2008

I got this tripod a few weeks ago and must say I am quite pleased with it. For one, it collapses quite well and can stand at least 4ft tall (Haven't extended it to full length yet.)

While it does feel a bit fragile it does hold up well with my canon slr very well, even with my heavy 75-300 Tamron lens. You can set the camera on the tripod laterally, or turn the plate sideways to take a shot on the camera side.

The set up is pretty easy to use and didn't really have to consult the instructions to know how to use the device. It's also quite light too so should not pose a problem carrying around.



4 out of 5 stars so-so tripod   February 2, 2008

the tripod is good knowing it's a velbon, i think it's good enough to handle enough battering, my only complaint is that the quick release shoe is hard to place under the camera's tripod screw, they should have used a metal knob that has a longer handle, when mounting on the tripod itself in vertical orientation, you must be careful for it not to be turning because of the camera's weight (my camera is canon 40d with bg-e2n grip and 28-135mm IS/ sigma 30mm 1.4) maybe for lighter cameras it will not turn when it's mounted, anyway, this is just my first tripod so i can say it's just okay, i'll invest soon on a better tripod (manfrotto).

Paying $25 for this tripod is worth it. It held my Nikon D200 quite well with a 18-200mm VR lens on it. Some moving parts are made of plastic and you probably cant abuse it like some other expensive ones out there...You should buy this tripod and determine how much usage you have before buying the more expensive one.
