Good portable tripod

Great tripod for the price. Easy and quick setup. I use a Nikon DSLR camera with this tripod. I was looking for a sturdy, but portable, tripod that would last for awhile, and this appears to be it. For under $100, it has features and quality of the more expensive tripods. The head is smooth and the quick release plate works very well. Appears to be will build, but not for the larger pro video cameras. If you have a tight budget, this is a good priced tripod, with very good quality.

Very good tripod

Quality tripod for great value. I bring it with me on most hikes, low weight, sturdy, and the size doesn't cause me any problems. It takes a bit longer to adjust the film head, so I switched on an old manfro ball head instead.

Nice light tripod

Compared to an old (30+years Velbon AEF-3) ) this tripod's weight allows me to carry it more readily. The ball head also allows for quicker attachment and manipulation than my old tripod.

Great product

This is my first tripod and so far I really like it. I bought it mostly to use at home and its really stable. the only con is that it's heavy, so not good for carrying it around.

Well worth the money with rebate

Recently purchased and haven't used it but have compared to a Velbon I bought 20+ years ago. Better head and much lighter and easier to extend the legs with multiple leg positions.
