When will I learn? I tried looking for a deal on tripods, but this is far from a good deal. I used the tripod to hold my spotting scope and your spotting scope is only as good as your tripod. Every part of this tripod was loose and shaky, making spotting very difficult. In addition, the quick connect piece that joined my scope to the tripod would not stay fastened and kept coming loose. I would advise spending more money and getting a much better product if stability is something you're looking for.

I just received this the other day and went to use it with excellent results. If I wanted any more strength or stability I would have had to spend at least twice as much. It is a light and reasonably durable tripod that I will be able to hike into the wilderness with without adding a lot of weight.

I bought this tripod for my brother to use with a spotting scope he got for Christmas. It is lightweight and easy to adjust. The tripod was just as advertised and has proven to be an excellent choice for this use. It would be great for binoculars or camera as well but probably not suited for really heavy equipment. I would definitely recommend this product and buy it again.

If it was for a camera, I would have given more stars, but to hold havy binoculars is to wobly.

But is light, pratical, easy to use and it folds very small.

This tripod was purchased for use with astronomy binoculars. Unfortunately, I don't believe it will be sturdy enough for that purpose. The tripod is just too light-weight for the size of the binoculars. Hopefully, we can utilize the tripod for our camera.

Nice tripod, folds up in a little bag. There are two of us using it and I feel like I am going to break it when I try to move it up or down. Seems to be easily wobbled too. Didn't want to spend $30; got what I paid for.

After ordering this product, I received a Zeikos 57" Pro Series Tripod Item #ZE-TR57A which does not even look like the product in the pictures on this amazon page. This I did not notice early enough, in the excitement to use it along with my binoculars for stargazing. My question to the seller is why does the product not have a brand name on this page and why is the product shipped different from the product shown in the pictures?

The box of the product claims it can take a weight of 1.67 lbs. So it should be perfect to use along with my 1.5 lbs astronomy binoculars right? The gear elevator handle used to increase the height of the tripod broke under the weight of the binocular while the height was being increased.

Despite not being an expert in this area, I wasn't expecting a miraculous product for the price. But I wasn't expecting a product that would break in a couple of weeks after three uses either.

Bottomline - I can't help feeling cheated.

i recently purchaed i scope and it did not come with a good tripod so i found this one for cheap. the scope works really well at steadying the image. i would reccomend this tripod to anybody who owns a scope

I bought this for my dad's spotting scope. it works perfect and is much cheaper than the one sold for the scope.

The 57" tripod is exactly what I have been looking for. It shipped right on time, was carefully packaged and is perfect for my needs.
