While I haven't used any other tripods, I am fully satisfied with this one! I bought this tripod specifically to use with my new DSC-R1 camera. It was listed as the preferred tripod in the camera's accessories book, and seemed to have a lot of nice features, so I figured I would give it a shot.

The tripod is extremely light weight, and is ideal for taking on hikes or walks. It comes with a little bag to carry it in, which conveniently fits over your shoulder and hangs behind your back.

It has a quick-mount for the camera (i.e. a little piece that you screw onto the bottom of your camera that can easily be put on and taken off of the tripod, so you only have to spend about 2 seconds mounting the camera onto the tripod at any given time.

To assemble the tripod out of its container from fully compact size to fully assembled size takes all of 10 seconds. You unhook each of the leg pieces and let them slide to full length. You then tighten those leg pieces and pull the legs out until they click into place.

Despite its light weight, it is quite sturdy.

It's also very customizable as to height or camera orientation (you can just about get any shot or angle that you want). It tilts on all axis and can get as low as 7 inches off of the ground.

All in all, this is a great tripod. Again, I haven't tried any others, but this tripod has yet to disappoint.

I bought this tripod for my Nikon D80 with 18-135mm kit lens. It holds D80 very well and the weight of the tripod itself is light for travel. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Affordable Light Compact Tripod out there, May 28, 2009

Smooth, light, tough, precise this is one of the greatest traveling tripod I have ever used. It is non-professional tripod of course but it does feel as perfect as a pricy non-fluid head tripod could feel. Obviously being a lighter tripod this item is not extremely stable but it is more stable than other robust tripods out there. Excellent design too, for $100 you will not be disappointed.
