4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, with a few caveats, August 31, 2009

This review is from: Davis & Sanford VOYAGER3H Voyager Tripod with 3 Way Pan and Tilt Head (Electronics)

Pros:
Not too expensive
Fairly sturdy
Highly adjustable legs
Bubble level
Quick release lever and lock
Removable hook

Cons:
Legs are stiff
Head could be smoother
The head screw will loosen if you turn the head to the left because the left/right movement of the head is stiffer than the head/tripod screw attachment. Be careful or you'll screw the head right off!
Compass is a bit of joke. Doesn't work well, but it's tiny so I don't expect it too.
Takes a long time to unscrew the vertical stem
The bag it came with was all moldy, but otherwise, it's a decent bag

This is much better than the cheap tripods, but is not the quality of more expensive ones. It's nice and moderate and a good value if you're looking for something in between.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the money, January 11, 2009

My tripod broke and because of the money I have in my camera I wanted to invest in a better one. To my surprise this one was the worse investment I have every made. I had used it three times when the head/base stripped the screw holding it to the legs. I caught it before it hit the floor with my camera on it. I returned it to Amazon and to date have not heard from them nor have I received a refund. Do not buy this flawed tripod.

5.0 out of 5 stars super travel and all purpose tripod, June 29, 2009

I have seen travel tripods before but the Vista Voyager (Tiffen) provides a very cool combination of size, features, ingenuity, and price. It's a lightweight aluminum grounder tripod (minimum height 11") featuring a three-way adjustable pan-and-tilt FZ10 head; four-section, three-position, snap-lock legs; and bubble levels on the head and yoke. It's even got a directional compass set into the tripod base! It has an easy to use quick lift two-section centerpost so I can take pictures close to the ground or high up with wing lock control for rapid adjustment and locking. I like the bottom centerpost hook to hang my accessories . It even comes with a good quality padded carrying bag. My Nikon D90 works well with this package. I am really happy with the quality and finish of this tripod.
