Product Description

The Kodak Gear Mid-Size 60-inch Tripod features lightweight aluminum legs and a number of valuable features. Designed as an "all purpose" tripod for photo, digital, or video, this tripod features a smooth 3-way pan head, 2-way tilt, 90-degree Vertical Platform, a quick-release plate and quick-release adjustable legs. Completely extended, this tripod reaches 60-inches in height, and folds down to a mere 25 inches. It weighs only 3.25 pounds but easily supports up to 5 pounds of camera equipment. With the use of a tripod you can achieve greater performance and maintain image quality for cropping and larger picture sizes. Also, it will allow you to holding steady enough to deliver all the performance the equipment you invested in can provide. You might even get into some pictures yourself, with the self-timer feature and your camera held secure on a sturdy tripod. Don't just take snapshots! Take control over your composition with increased camera performance and sharper images that will exceed your expectations! >>> Main Reasons to use a Tripod: Get maximum image quality whether you are shooting stills or video.; Extremely Sharp pictures even at the shorter focal lengths and macro applications, never mind at the extreme telephoto settings where every little movement is magnified and reduces picture sharpness.; Avoid camera shake from handholding, and never worry about shooting at slower shutter speeds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Kodak Digital Camera Tripod (Electronics)

After reading the reviews, I took a chance and ordered the tripod, anyway, thinking that by that time the defective ones would've been replaced with good ones... I was wrong. Mine also had cracked or broken leg locks. I returned it for replacement, but the second one was also defective.

This problem was due to manufacturer defects, not because of any poor packing on Amazon's part. And Amazon's customer service was excellent throughout the return process. However, noting all the negative reviews and returns, I would think they would quit offering this item for sale until Kodak does a better job on the tripod. Continuing to offer known defective merchandise is deceptive.

I was totally annoyed by its low quality. It broke the first time I carried outdoors for picture shooting. One plastic hood was breaking into pieces when I tried to strench one of its legs, so now it turned into a piece of crap.

Like most of the other folks i too got the stuff half broken. Most of the plastic pieces on the top hood and on the legs were bad broken. I returned the stuff back immediately and asked for refund.
I would suggest that you go to Fry's or something and get one there for 10 more bucks may be.
