4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tripod, Great Price, May 16, 2007

This tripod has everything you need to get to work. The quick clamp legs adjust easily and stay where you set them. This is an inexpensive tripod that I would not use for everyday use on a construction site, as I do not believe it would hold up to heavy use. But for a small project and with care, this will hold up for many years of use. Great for occasional use. As with all tools, take care of you tools and they will last..., throw this item in the back for you truck and the clamped legs will likely break off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modified easily for my particular use., July 15, 2009

We are full-time RV'ers and I wanted an easy-to-use tripod for my HD satellite dish. I fitted a threaded 2-inch diameter pipe nipple to a floor mount, drilled holes in it and the tripod and bolted the two together permanently.
"Steps" on each leg allow the pointed tips on each leg to be stabbed into soil and quick-release levers on each leg permit the nipple on the tripod to quickly be made vertical, essential for mounting the satellite dish.
Since these dishes are good sized, I use a screw-in dog tie-down and a stout shock chord to anchor the tripod, preventing the tripod from being toppled by winds, damaging the dish.
The tripod is light, just as easily collapsed and includes a handy strap to tie the legs together and sling the tripod over a shoulder for transport.
I am very pleased with the unit and expect the tripod to give me many years of trouble-free service.

I got this to use with a new laser level as my old one has vanished. I understand that I didn't choose several of the higher priced ones... it's hard to tell the difference online. This is VERY light and the leg extensions slide through plastic guides. The top is cast and the finish is not impressive. I feel uncertain about placing a $1000 laser on top of this. If you are a professional in the building trades, my suggestion is to get something more substantial.
