5.0 out of 5 stars The Tripod I Was Looking For, April 27, 2005

I went to a camera store with some very specific things that I wanted in a tripod for my EOS 10D camera. This was the one for me. I purchased the Manfrotto 322RC2 unit as the head for this tripod and the two work great togather (see my review on the Manfrotto 322RC2). The only bad thing that I would have to say about it is the height - as a short person it is a little taller than I need. For someone taller, this would be a great tripod and head combination.

I replaced a $20 kodak tripod with the bogen 3011bn a world of difference between the two! I needed a tripod that was tall being 6ft 3in I didnt want to bend down anymore to look through the viewfinder. If you are tall this is the tripod for you. It is reasonably light and sturdy and will go very low to the ground if needed especially with the low mount adapter. The legs have wingnuts which makes adjusting quick. I have the 322RC2 joystick head and carrying strap so I find myself using a tripod more because its easy to carry and use. I can see using this for more than a couple of years until I want something lighter. You can have the best lens and camera in the world but if you dont have a stable platform your shot will not be sharp.

After about a week of owning my tripod, I was trying to get a shot from a far stream bank. I wound up slipping on the loose, rocky soil and fell into the water against the rocks. Luckily for me my tripod took the brunt of it. The damage? Two small scrapes on one of the tripod legs.

Manfrotto is a well-respected company that makes durable products. I highly recommend this tripod!
