Even as a newbie, I was able to just look at this tripod and figure out how to work it. It's a breeze. I'm impressed with its sturdy construction yet light weight, and its ease of use.

 
Great Tripod, very well built

Long Exposures, Photography, Portraits, Stabilization
Bottom Line:

I bought this 9 years ago, along with a VHS CamCorder, and it has held up perfectly to the weight and rigors of that heavy CamCorder. Recently, I have been using it along with my little Canon Digital Camera. This is a perfect tripod for just about any Camera.

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

The tripod worked well for 7 years until I let my friend borrow it from me, he forced the head and broke it. Other than that, the tripod was stable and quick to release all the time. I will have to order a new one.

Light in Weight and Construction
By JohnVerified Purchaser from San Clemente, CA on 7/11/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Weak Construction
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Borrowed this from a friend while visiting on vacation. Mounted a Nikon D80 w/telextender along with Nikon VR 80-400 zoom for nature shots. When finished, I was folding the tripod legs and everything came snapping back; the plastic parts in the head weren't strong enough to retain the weight and I was very lucky to have caught my camera and lens so no damage was done to them. I purchased this tripod to replace my friend's but caution anyone from putting much more than a camera and standard lens on it.
