Great little tripod!
By Matt the Californian OutdoorsmanVerified Reviewer from Bay Area, CA on 9/14/2008
Pros:
Folds Small, Good Stability, Lightweight, Unfolds Quickly
Cons:
Weak Construction
Best Uses:
Photography, Portraits, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Photo Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Purchased in hopes of a reasonably-durable tripod I could take backpacking without weighing down my pack or punishing my wallet. For [$], I'm very pleased thus far. Unexpectedly, it fits perfectly on the back of my Lowepro Slingshot 100.I haven't tested it with anything beyond 135mm...so I can't be sure how it will support your larger telephoto lenses. But if you're a casual photographer or mild photo enthusiast like myself, this is great entry-level lens that won't break your wallet

 
Good Piece
By krishVerified Reviewer from ann arbor,Mi on 4/23/2008
Pros:
Folds Small, Lightweight
Cons:
Weak Construction
Best Uses:
Photography, Reducing Noise (ISO Reduction), Stabilization
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bike a lot and wanted a tripod that was not a burden to carry around. This fitted my profile to the bill. I have a canon rebel xti. and this holds the rebel plus a 100-300mm lens with ease. have used it for a week now and am pleased with it.
Cons: the central ridge is made of plastic. It was my mistake that I was slightly rough on it and the plastic broke. tht is the one weakness of the tripod. the plastic parts are not very durable.

 
Love it - wouldn't be without it.
By Tony JamesVerified Reviewer from New York, NY on 1/8/2008
Pros:
Folds Small, Good Stability, Lightweight, Unfolds Quickly
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Photography, Stabilization

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've taken this tripod everywhere over the past 3 years, and I wouldn't be without it. On a recent trip to Iran it got a lot of use in low-light so I could use long exposures without resorting to flash. A lot of other people on the trip admired it. I like that that it sets up and takes down in seconds, yet has all the bells and whistles found on a lot of the higher-end "professional" models, and fits easily in a daypack or through a gear loop.
I have no complaints, other than it would be nice if it had a little spirit level on it so you could see when you're gear was level, but for the price that might be unreasonable!
