 Great Tripod for Home Videos September 30, 2008
With all things I buy, I always read the customer reviews. To those people that put a giant camera on this tripod it might not work well. That is not this tripods intended use. I mostly looked at the box stores for tripods and was never happy with what was offered for a selection. I am really pleased with this unit!
I have a small Sony palmcorder (Sony DCR-SR65). Really light and small. This tripod is amazing for kids football, baseball, softball. I have used it on bleachers, and on the ground while I stood and once while seated in a chair. My camcorder has a 25X zoom and this holds it rock steady when zoomed in.
The bubble level is a great addition on this unit. When setting up the legs, I adjust them so the bubble is level. Then when I pan side to side the framed image is still nice and level.
The Legs are sturdy enough for me even when fully extended. One issue might be that this tripod is so light you can move the whole unit easily. Which I did one time, after that I kept downward pressure when I was moving the head.
The ball head is great for the moving action of sporting events. However it turns out that bleachers move LOTS! It turns in left/right and up/down in the camcorder mode. The trigger release/lock on the handle becomes intuitive after you have used this unit a few times. My camcorder is so light I barely have to tighten the trigger.
One issue I came across already is that and sand/grit in the ball head is very detrimental to the movement of the head. Once the sand got in there, I fully released the trigger and moved the handle all around. I think the sand worked it's way into the groove on the ball of the head. I later cleaned the groove with a q-tip, issue resolved.
I recommend that you buy this one.

Excellent tripod. Pretty compact when folded. Extremely quick setup which is a huge plus when you travel.
compact, stylish, and practical. April 21, 2008
Great little product that is easy to setup and use. Excellent workmanship and style. My HG10 can easily be added or removed from the tripod in seconds. The controls are intuitive, ergonomic, and ruggedly designed.
This is a great value for a compact yet solid tripod.
 A very weak Tripod March 28, 2008

I ordered this tripod as an extra however, The older one was better to handle my camera! even it's from 10 years ago.
What I noticed is that the tripod head is really weak and can't do what it suppose to.. I wish that I didn't order this one, so if you're looking for a tripod do not buy this and good luck in your purchase!
Compact, light and easy to use March 6, 2008
I am glad that after lots of research I finally found something that perfectly suits my requirements.
I mostly do landscape photography, so I wanted a tripod that would be small and light weight enough that could be carried wherever needed. I hate using heavy and BIG tripod that are a burden on the shoulders.
This tripod is made of light weight aluminum, has a hybrid ball and socket head which can accommodate most cameras and camcorders. It also has a bubble level. Folding and extending is quick too. When fully extended, it reached little over 4 feet.
The build quality is excellent and the stability is also good.
It costs little more than the competitors like Slick, etc, but then...quality comes at a a price!
