Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A bit expensive for a casual user, I enjoyed using it as both a tripod and monopod. I'm still learning how to effectively use a monopod for sports photography, but since this tripod is relatively lightweight and easy to use, I don't mind carrying it along. I actually use a small backpack for my camera, so I loop one of the legs through the strap for easy carrying.

Nice shape

Unstable

Low height photo

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looks like a good tripod, even if it's not very stable. I wanted this one for his particular shape and because it was only 2.5 lbs, but it's a small error, in fact his weight is 3.2 lbs. The head works good for the price of it, but I'm not sure if the plastic clasp to take off the camera will last for long... They say that the minimum height is 13", but as show the picture, you can put you camera upside down on the other side to be even lower! I really love the fact that it's only 13 3/4" folded (very usefull while travelling) but I'll will look for another one because of the weight. (sorry for my english!)

 
Light and right for me

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I travel back and forth from Ohio to Alaska at least once a year to be with my son and his family. My Cullman tripod fits my carryon luguage, never causing a security problem. Its the first thing out of my bag to steady close-ups of Alaska's beautiful Forget-me-nots when I arrive and it the last thing back into the bag after taking a time-released family group picture before I leave for home...to make sure I do not forget my loved ones on the 49th State.

Not tall enough

I use this as a alternative in the field for wildlife since it is easy and light weight but sturdy enough for most shots.

 
not sturdy enough for my d200.
By steveVerified Purchaser from des moines, iowa on 2/5/2007
Pros:
Folds Small, Lightweight
Cons:
ok for a light weight tri
Best Uses:
Limited storage space
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I like the light weight monfrotto better-easier set up- just as light but sturdier. Although the cullman folds up smaller in length.
