 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

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.
 Very good value November 15, 2007
I needed a reasonably decent tripod for a Canon EOS 30D with a 70-300mm zoom tele lens, but I didn't want to break the bank. I decided on this one after reading the other reviews. I am quite pleased with this item. The head operates smoothly and locks down solidly. I often use it extended to near max height. It is very stable despite that extension. This is a very good tripod for the money. I have no reservations about recommending it to others.
Great Tripod for the money September 18, 2007
I have an Olympus Evolt 500 and this tripod works fine. This is a great tripod for a $100.00. For anyone on a budget this makes a great addition to their photography equipment.
A Great Tripod August 4, 2007

This is a compact and stable tripod for the compact dslr user. I have used this tripod with my 70-300mm IS lens on my Canon XTI and am more then happy with it. Yes there are more professsional tripods from this company that offer more stability, but at a cost of increased weight. I use this tripod for outdoor work and when carrying my complete kit, weight is an issue, so this is a great tripod for me and the use I intended for it.
