 Great Value - Excellent spare, starter or secondary tripod for great price December 3, 2008

This low cost tripod came up as a promotional offer when purchasing a camera so I really wasn't expecting much since the price was so low. I figured the tripod bag would cost nearly that much so decided to give it a try. While by no means is this a professional model, it is an excellent value for an affordable starter tripod or spare.
Features:
Relatively lightweight - certainly not in the lightest class but sturdy and still manages to remain light enough to not tire for standard use.
Ability to rotate in all directions.
Quick connect/disconnect feature.
Able to hold decent sized DSLR not just super light weight point and shoot models.
Decent little canvas bag.
Quick hang hook.
Good spread - fairly steady.
Ability to set-up on non level surface.
All in all, this is a terrific starter tripod or spare you can toss around, leave in the car etc for a very affordable price. Not sure about durability since I've only had a short period of time but like I mentioned before, at the current sales price a tripod bag will cost you nearly the same amount. This should have a little life in it and can double for other uses later. Better than expected at this price!
great for the price. December 5, 2008

I also had this tripod come up while purchasing a camera and figured it would suffice until I decided to get something better. I was very suprised with the quality of this item. It's light, compact and fucntions very well. Javajunki's review is spot on.
I would definitely recommend this item.

i also got this tripod with my camera on a promotional offer and didnt expect much but i was surprised in how versatile and sturdy it is!
you can point it in any direction and orient the camera how you like. big plus for me because i like to point my camera at the sky.
the locking mechanisms allow you to control how tight or loose you want to be able to move your camera very well. at the appropriate tightness, you can move the camera very smoothly and it will stay in place when you let go, but make sure its not too loose. all the tightning nuts can all be adjusted by hand too, including the piece that connects to the camera(ive seen some tripods that require a screwdriver).
this tripod is sturdy, and can be set up very quickly. and it packs up nicely. i can attach it to my rebel camera bag with no problems.
Im very happy with this tripod.
VERY Light but sturdy January 8, 2009
I have an old tripod (from college.....sometime when the dinosaurs roamed the earth....the 70's) that still works if you are very careful....so why would I want to actually spend this thing called money on something new when mine is not really broken......this new light technology and stuff is neat....it comes with it's own bag....nice.....probably three TIMES lighter than my old one.....i used it the first week I got it....to shoot still shots.....NO flash allowed....for my daughter's drill team...indoors...at a distance....i actually extended one tripod leg onto the lower bleacher level and the pictures were priceless. I would NOT have been able to do it hand-held. Since she is my youngest, and a senior....I will NOT get to do this again. I treasure the pictures I got without a flash....because of this tripod. Needless to say, my old tripod would not have even come close to closing the deal. For me that one day of shots was worth the price of the tripod....but i can still use it for many, many years. For me it was worth every penny....i did get it on sale, which is even sweeter.

Nice tripod - good deal (got a discount because I purchased a compatable camera), and it arrived quickly.
