 Light, easy to use, sturdy July 8, 2008
Had a chance to use this product on a few occasions, and for my light setup, has far exceeded any expectations.
Very light and easily adjustable. Takes seconds to set up a shot. Head is sturdy.
Only real negative is if you're looking to take panoramics w/ stitching, the head is not made for it. Also wish you could remove the head for storage/travel.
 A Great Tripod For Light Equipment July 4, 2008

I really like this tripod. It goes very well with my Canon Rebel Xsi and most lenses (50mm, 18-55mm...).
Pros:
- Good price for a Bogen/Manfrotto.
- Light, great for travel.
- Good build quality.
- Very easy to use and to get it into the configuration you want.
- Goes from 6.9 inches to 59 inches (1.50 meters)!
Cons:
- Will not handle heavy equipment-over 2.2 pounds.
- Panning (shooting panoramas) is harder than when using more expensive tripod ball heads.
Overall it's a great tripod, with some limitations. If you know you will not have more than 2 pounds in equipment and given the price range, I highly recommend it.
Good until it broke.... April 19, 2008

When I bought this about a year ago I thought it was great: sturdy, lightweight, and made of good material. Fits my Canon 400D and Nikon D80 well and everything was good until it broke yesterday. IT IS NOT WATERPROOF!!! If your a nature photographer like me, then make sure you don't get the whole thing in water. I dropped mine, by accident of course, about 20 feet into the water, and when I found it, part of the leg was stuck so I tried to push it together and then pull it apart and it just pulled right apart. I was pissed now realizing that what I thought was a good tripod could not stand up to water. Overall this was a good tripod until it broke and I'll be attempting to buy a waterproof manfrotto soon....
Manfrotto 785B tripod - Good tripod for travelling March 16, 2008

This little tripod is great for traveling. I mounted my D200 + 17-55mm lens on it was quite stable. The only bad thing is the non-removable head. Then again what do you expect for a $80 dollar product. It beats carrying a 6lbs (with head) tripod when you go on a trip...
To increase the stability, just hang some weights on the tripod and that should do the job.

This is a great travel tripod. It is very light and small. And with the head off will almost disappear in a 22" roll aboard suitcase. I use it with a hand held video camera and can easily handle my canon 40d. Would I walk more then arms length away from it? No probably not. but my camera would probably be gone if I did. It is grate for long exposures and steadying video.
The most important thing is that it is small enough that I bring it with me.
