1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this item, February 20, 2006

By	Norman K. Williams "chaircrusher" (iowa city,ia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this tripod, and it arrived broken.

The assembly to which a camera is attached is made out of plastic. I asked for an RMA order via E-Mail, and they only gave me an address to mail it back to with a 'copy of the invoice.'

Being lazy about mailing things back, and since it was cheap to begin with I tried repair it myself. Where it broke (the three plastic rings on the camera mount), it was impossible to re-glue, because of the torsion placed on those rings with any sort of pressure.

Even if your tripod arrives un-broken, it will likely break the first time you drop it on the camera mount from any height at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor design, September 6, 2008

By	N. Yan "nyan" (US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the design of the connection between the tripod adapter and tripod is poor, the plastic cannot hold the weight of my 15x70 binoculars and caused damage to both binoculars and tripod after using only one week. although it's cheap, it still dont worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Celestron Tripod, January 7, 2009

By	J. Seidel (so. harwich, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this product to use with the Celestron binoculars. Assembly was straight forward and it does the job. However, with heavy binoculars the stand will vibrate if touched and takes a minute or two to stabilize. I plan to rebuild it with much sturdier legs and bracing. For the price it isn't bad, but it is far from being a stable
platform for easy viewing.
