3.0 out of 5 stars It is an OK photo tripod but not video, July 31, 2008

The tripod seems solid on the ground. The 3-way pan head and quick release work reasonably well. But there are many misses. If you are looking for a dual purpose for photo and video, you'd better look elsewhere. The pan head is not a fluid head. It does not pan and tilt very smoothly. The center column can be cranked up and down, but there is no locking mechanism to lock it in place. The 3-section legs do not extend or retract smoothly. You need to push/pull the sections in and out. Unlike my Bogen 3001, the legs extend or retract all by gravity.

I expected a little better quality from the Tiffen company. But the sample I got was a disappointment.

this tripod is pure beef. it holds my canon a1 & my biggest lens with no wobble. It's very sturdy with all metal components, other tripods with plastic parts never last. I bought it to give to someone as a gift, but I liked it so much I kept it. dont tell anyone!!! I give this tripod 3 thumbs up!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive for the price., November 27, 2009

I had no problems placing my camera with a large lenses on this tripod, its extremely stable and all extensions lock firmly.
