1.0 out of 5 stars Wobbly when extended., July 16, 2004
By Geo (USA) - See all my reviews
Why I bought a new tripod: I already own an old garage-sale tripod of some unspecified brand that I've used with my video camera for several years. In retrospect, I took its stability for granted, but it lacked a few of the conviences typically found on current tripods. It folds up nicely, but is heavier to carry than current models, and the camera must be unscrewed from the base plate to remove it from the tripod. Having bought my first high quality digital still camera, I wanted a lighter-to-carry tripod and one that allowed quick removal and replacement of the camera.

Why I chose this one: This unit offered good height, light weight, a "fluid head" for smooth pans with the video camera, a snap-in base plate, and a carry bag - all at a great price.

Why I'm returning this one:

Least reason: The base plate attaches to the camera using a built in plastic tab attached to the screw. While this is a convenient idea, the tab must be folded down flat to get the base to lock onto the tripod. Not so bad until you want to remove the plate - you may need a screwdriver to pry up the tab or risk losing a fingernail. The screw itself does not have slots for a screwdriver.

Most reason: The stability I took for granted in my old tripod is lacking in the new one. Specifically:

1. The legs flex. On a vinyl floor, it was difficult to get a stable stance because the extended legs woud, one-by-one, flex and "dance" across the floor. On less-slick surfaces the feet stayed in place, but there was still movement in the unit.

2. The top pole (that raises with the crank) is shaky when extended. The idea of the "fluid head" for smooth pans seems lost when touching the camera causes considerable wobble in the bar itself. The top pole is better left down. (Yes, I tightend the connections.)

3. The bars of the center brace are attached by loose-fitting rivets. The brace may prevent the unit from collapsing should you need to set the legs at a narrower stance, but it does little to "solidify" the tripod.

Summary: At full height, it was difficult to take even still pictures without movement in the tripod. The setup may look stable, but then you have to touch the camera (unless you have a remote). It`s worse with the video camera - I was unable to get a smooth pan in spite of the "fluid head". Stability is better at half-height.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Height, Poor Legs, July 29, 2004
By J. C. Sell, Jr. "bigberetta" (Western Slope, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This tripod seemed to be very nice... Until we tried to extend the legs all of the way. Two and a half of the legs worked well, the third had a section that would not stay extended. The locking devices are pretty poor. They are made of a cheap plastic and I believe that even the ones that do work well now, will not last very long with even moderate use. Next time I will try to find a tripod with a set screw type of leg extension lock.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great for tall people, I am suprised it doesn't cost, September 5, 2003
By Chris (Jupiter, Fl) - See all my reviews
This goes up to 5 feet 10 inches, while others go to up to an average of 5 feet. No bending over in an uncomfartable position, tape while staying at your height. Its very sturdy and woth every penny. Compatable,safe,comfartable - You should buy this one!

Most tripods in this price range are much shorter. Most tripods that are this tall are significantly more expensive. However this tripod isn't a great value. Read more

Haven't used it much but the panning is horrible. Not smooth at all, better take the the camara off the tripod with the quick release function which is nice.
