5.0 out of 5 stars solid and sturdy this really does the job, September 13, 2009

This review is from: 57" Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with 3 Way Pan Head, Leg Locks, & Built-in Tripod Handle for Nikon D3000 / D3100 / D5100 / D7000 , Canon EOS Rebel T3i / T2i / 5D / 60D , Canon VIXIA HF M41 / HF R200 , Toshiba Camileo H30 & More Digital SLR Cameras & HD Camcorders (Electronics)

This tripod is very sturdy and it is light weight. It doesnt come with a manual, but it is VERY obvious how to use the quick release screw to attach to the bottom of the camera. I also saw that a different reviewer didnt know how to lock the legs on place...hmmm All you need to do snap the lock on each leg and you are good to go

I have tried many other tripods and I agree with the other reviewers, this one really does the job.

It comes in a nice nylon bag and there are 2 bubble levelers, a hook to attached your camera bag. The tilt and pan functions are smooth.

it is light weight and folds down to a small space. When it extends it can go extend to be eye level even for a tall person like me

oh there is also a nice carrying handle built into the upright of the tripod so it is supper easy to move around

This review is from: 57" Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with 3 Way Pan Head, Leg Locks, & Built-in Tripod Handle for Nikon D3000 / D3100 / D5100 / D7000 , Canon EOS Rebel T3i / T2i / 5D / 60D , Canon VIXIA HF M41 / HF R200 , Toshiba Camileo H30 & More Digital SLR Cameras & HD Camcorders (Electronics)

I was looking or a tripod that would be solid and work well, with a good price to boot. Based on the above reviews, I figured it would be fine.

I guess I might be a bit more "hardcore" of a photographer than the average user. I'm using a Canon 500D/T1i, that might be a bit heavier than smaller cameras others are using.

On to the good. It comes with a convenient bag with a shoulder strap. It's light. The feet swivel well. It has a handle right below the head.

On to the bad. It's much too flimsy for any serious photography. If you're trying to shoot something very precisely, there is no hope with this tripod. I ended up cranking everything as tight as possible, and I still had to force it against it's settings to stay exactly where I wanted it. It doesn't hold the camera up if you have a bigger lens on it, so it slowly droops. One time a mystery screw fell out from the head in the bag. I couldn't figure out why nothing worked for like 20 minutes, until I found the screw in the bag and figured out how to put it back in.

Not recommended if you're in any way particular about composition.

This very lightweight tripod is a great value for the price. It is surprising sturdy when everything is tightened down and includes some nice added features like a carrying bag, two built-in levels, a bag hook, and a built-in handle. Another minor, but handy feature is that the camera\camcorder can be attached to the quick release mount without needing a screwdriver or coin since the screw head is shaped to be finger tightened.

I have paid more for lesser tripods and am very pleased with this one for my small and medium sized cameras\camcorders.

Highly recommended!
