5.0 out of 5 stars Superb tripod for low shots, April 19, 2001

I really like this tripod for two reasons.

1) Velbon quality. Velbon makes great tripods. Yes, you could spend thousands for a pro tripod, but you dont have to!

2) Height. I have a large tripod (Velbon model ordered from Amazon) that I use for portrait shots, etc. However, for macro owrk and other shots that require close quarter and/or low to ground access, this is excellent.

It also works with both cameras and camcorders, which is very handy. The 3-way pan head is critical in a tripod, and of course it has a quick release like all Velbon tripods.

I received the tri-pod in a timely manner,
it is very well made and supports my
Sony a100 with 200m lens easily. It has a
quick release mount which is very nice, if
you want/need to remove the camera quickly.
It's 3-way rotating base is simple to use,
and provides a steady base in any position.
I would highly recommend this product to
anyone.

Looking forward to using this on vacation. The tripod is very sturdy and is great for the price.

I love how it compacts down to a foot - fits in a suitcase great. Supports my 5D2 with 24-70L quite well.

To make it better:

Allow alternative heads - a ballhead would be much better for photo work.

Use better clamps. The leg clamps are the cheapest part on it - and I would have liked to see better plastic used. The legs are strong and metal - would have liked that level to been consistent throughout the rest of the design.
