4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Tripod, February 3, 2010

Other then simply needing a second tripod, I bought this tripod because of the 72'' length. I'm 5'9 and spend most of my days ducking under things or craning down, and this tripod is perfect because I don't have to do either.

The grip handle in between the legs made of hard plastic, is nice and sturdy for picking the unit up on the move.

The head is able to snap off and then lock back into place via a lever on the back.

The three legs, the tops of which are encased in a non slip padding, extend for the additional tripod height, and the head/platform extends upwards via a crank on the side.

There is a small water level on one of the legs that indicates when the three legs are, well, level.

You can swivel the platform around a full 360 as well as tilt it up or down.

The carrying case is plain and is not padded, though it does feature an adjustable strap.

The one downfall which doesn't really bother me, is that when you collapse the tripod, it is rather large. Its not likely to fit into any sort of bag you may be carrying other then the tripod carrying case it comes with. Other then that, I'd say its a pretty good tripod which if I'm not mistaken, is actually featured in the movie "Paranormal Activity."

It's a great tripod. I'm 5'10" and I don't need to extend the 3rd leg extension
which make the tripod really sturdy. It's just a bit long when folded (26 inches).
