 Great tripod...does exactly what I need it to do and more May 29, 2008
I have had this tripod for about 2 months now and so far it has been great. It was a huge upgrade from my old one. It's sturdy, fairly light weight, easy to use and easy to transport. It doesn't have a ball head but it is much less expensive than buying a tripod and then a ball head separately. It is sturdy enough to hold even a relatively heavy camera without much if any camera shake. I myself have not experienced any camera shake. I do a lot of hiking, and climbing and this tripod has never weighed me down. It also it fairly tall. I'm six feet tall and at the tripod's highest point my camera sits at eye level for me. Even when it's not at it's highest it's not uncomfortable to use. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a good tripod at a relatively good price.
Great SLR tripod for hikers February 8, 2008

Since I take mostly landscape photographs, I don't like dealing with heavy tripods. I hike extensively and go on lengthly backpacking trips. This is an excellent alternative to the heavy Bogen/Manfrotto tripods, without sacrificing quality. I'm really impressed with the construction, and I've had no trouble with the head (smooth and easy to operate). The legs are strong and withstand decent stream/river currents without shaking. Each leg operates separately, so propping up your camera in uneven terrain is a cinch. I'm a huge fan of this tripod, and look forward to many years of hard use.
 Good for the money February 8, 2008

Not as stable as I hoped, but servicable and a good buy for the money. if you will be using LARGE lens you may want a hever system which means more money, so as I said good product for the money.
Works great! January 7, 2008

My daughter wanted a tripod for her digital camera and it had to be at least 62" tall to account for uneven ground and sturdy. This tripod is tall and very strudy. She just loves it.
 Engineering Could Be Better - Head Assembly Came Apart December 3, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had this tripod for little over a year and used it exclusively indoors (still in like new condition). Functionally it worked well though the locked positions didn't always hold as tightly as I expected.
Overall I was satified until just recently when I pulled it out to do some shooting. I started to move the head when it suddenly disassembled. Apparently the three screws that attached it were no longer secure.
I took apart the head by removing the plastic cover and unscrewing the mount. Needless to say what I found inside was indicative of poor engineering and what looks like a stop gap solution. There is a loose metal square (very uneven) that is put in to keep a bolt in position, secondly the three screws are so short that they barely grip the thread when tightened. At this price level I expect well machined parts and some thought given to the correct screw length.
