Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Light in weight, light in price, but heavy in value, the SLIK U series of economy tripods have proved to be so popular and successful that they have been knocked-off by many companies, but none have been able to match the quality and value performance of these versatile tripods.

Every tripod in the series is less than 2 feet long when completely folded and weigh less than 3.5 lbs for easy traveling. The SLIK U series have many other features that the casual photographer and family videographer will come to love.

The U-8000 has a maximum height of 59 inches, a 3-way smooth "fluid effect" pan head, large release plate for fast mounting, and speed release legs locks for quick and simple set up and fold down.

4.0 out of 5 stars I now own three of these, July 23, 2011

These are light-weight but durable tripods. I do travel documentaries and these are perfect. They are small and light, so no problem carrying one around attached to a backpack or photo vest. If I drop one and break it, I haven't trashed hundreds of dollars like I would with one of my pro models. They are stable, I even attach motorized pan/tilt heads to them, plus the camera and have had no tilt problems.

It isn't a pro model by any means, but it does well and you cannot beat the price.

I have another tri-pod by this manufacturer; it is smaller and not as sturdy.
This is a real nice unit and for the price I don't have any issues. There may be better, but I'm sure you'd pay a LOT more.
