 fantastic July 25, 2008
so large bigger than a door works great is very especific has the bubbles to now is is perpendicular is perfect and works great
 Okay, with reservations July 24, 2008
For a modest sum, this is a huge upgrade from my tripod it replaces; however, having said that, I cannot give it a 5-star review. The head and the quick-release camera plate are plastic. There is only so much you can do to tighten things down. If I need to shoot hand-released shots (say, for bracketed exposures beyond the +2, -2 that my Canon 20D will shoot automatically), the camera can be the slightest bit squizzy. I can either be very careful, or work-around with time-release, mirror lock-up, etc.. Next time I upgrade, I'm going to go into a store and look at, say, the Bogen/Manfrotto.

A Great tripod for such a low price.
I am not an expert but it serves its function.
The only negative aspect is that there is a tendency for the camera to drop down when i am not holding it. I dont know if this is user error or a problem with the tripod but overall I am happy with it.
Great Tripod Lightweight July 4, 2008
Opteka 70" Full Size Professional Photo / Video Tripod
This tripod is simple to use and very lightweight. Great for photography/videography on the go. Has a level, feet are adjustable(not flat they swivel and tilt as needed) to have your tripod sit level. Would highly recommend.
 Did I get the same product other's are reviewing? July 2, 2008
Several issues. First, both the hook at the bottom and the head BOTH fell off! No, this wasn't a shipping or packing issue, they are held in there by friction! Sorry, I'll lay off the exclaimation points. For the money, I was expecting something wobbly, plasticky, and perhaps a bit fragile. But I wanted to be able to USE the darn thing before it fell apart! With the price, it's hardly worth returning. I'm going to try to fix it with hose clamps. I intend to cut a slot an inch or two down the ends of the tube and then cinch the tube down on the plastic parts that fell out. If it doesn't work, I'll toss it in the trash.
