4.0 out of 5 stars Not for SLRs, January 15, 2010

This review is from: NEEWER® 50" Inch Professional Tripod ~Including CASE!~ For all CAMERA/CAMCORER! NIKON D40 D40X D60 D80 D90 D3000 D5000 CANON REBEL D-SLR XT XS XTi T1i XSi 50D DCR-SR47 HC52 CX100 + Nearly Every CAMERA/CAMCORDER! (Electronics)

This tripod would be great to stabilize small point-and-shoot cameras, but it cannot hold my Canon SLR. As soon as I tightened everything up and let go of the camera, the camera started pointing down until it was straight down. No matter how tight I got it, it could not hold my camera up. Plus, the base that you screw into your camera is very small, so if your camera is heavy, it pops out of the tripod (Luckily I had my hands underneath when my camera fell off the tripod).

So, if you have a heavy camera, steer clear.

If you have a light camera, this tripod is perfect for on the go. It is super light, folds down to a very small size for a tripod, and has all the settings to get the shot you need.

I chose to give it a 4 star rating because I got it as a gift, and now I notice it mentions in the description it has a 2.5 pound load capacity. I'm not quite sure I would put a 2.5 pound camera on it though - small point-and-shoot cameras will be perfectly fine.

I need to get a more heavy-duty tripod, but if you have a small camera, I think this tripod is a good find.

This review is from: NEEWER® 50" Inch Professional Tripod ~Including CASE!~ For all CAMERA/CAMCORER! NIKON D40 D40X D60 D80 D90 D3000 D5000 CANON REBEL D-SLR XT XS XTi T1i XSi 50D DCR-SR47 HC52 CX100 + Nearly Every CAMERA/CAMCORDER! (Electronics)

This is item is just what I wanted. It is light (about 1 pound), collapses to 16-18 inches, and extends to 50". It was very inexpensive too. Therefore great for travel and carrying. I'm not a professional and don't work with this daily; if I was a professional I would have purchased a composite tripod for hundreds. As is, this will suit me fine. It is not terribly sturdy, won't stand up to a stiff wind, and the plastic parts will probably break if stressed. I got what I paid for and am happy as such.

When a seller uses the word "Professional" in their description of their product, it leads one to believe that the item is of very high quality. Such was not the case...AT ALL...with this Tripod! It is an awful piece of junk that we cannot use and we were so disappointed in our purchase. (Especially since it was a Christmas gift). It is terribly unsteady, shaky, and pretty much worthless. We suppose that's the nature of shopping online...you never know what you're going to get, good or bad. And this time it was bad. :(
