Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you can't afford a high dollar tripod, this one is an excellent value for the money.
I've had mine for almost a year now, and it still functions great.
If I had to change anything, I would replace the head with a Slik AF2100 Ball head to make it faster and easier to use.

Overall I am very happy with the product, and would buy another one.

 
Great lens for the money
By MeruWarriorVerified Reviewer from Nairobi, Kenya on 11/5/2007
Pros:
Good Stability, Lightweight, Low angle shots, Unfolds Quickly
Cons:
No carry bag, No retractable spikes
Best Uses:
Photography, Portraits, Stabilization
Describe Yourself:
Semi-professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I didn't have the cash to spend on a 'high-end' tripod, so I went for this one. Straight out of the box, i knew I had a winner here. I'm an engineer by trainng, and I know when something's been well put together. The 400 DX definitely falls into that czategory. It impresses on so many levels. I'd buy a second one in a heartbeat! :)

 
Not so great
By Richard from Colorado on 3/28/2007
Pros:
Good Stability, Unfolds Quickly
Cons:
Weak Construction
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Seems stable and well built, but falls apart after some use. The plastic on the leg locks craked and now the legs fall out.
Also, the head is stiff and combersome, and the quick release primitave compared to a Bogen or other brand.

Perfect for on the road!
By SABREVerified Reviewer from Scottsdale, AZ on 10/23/2006
Pros:
A road warrior, Folds Small, Good Stability, Lightweight, Unfolds Quickly
Cons:
None
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Reducing Noise (ISO Reduction), Stabilization

This is a great piece of gear for the road. It is light and small but strong and stable. You have to unscrew the head handles to pack it in the medium SLIK carrying case but it only takes a couple of minutes. I would purchase this again for use on the road. Handles Canon digital SLR's with big heavy "L" lenses great!
