Comments about Giottos Giottos MT-7240 2 Section Lava Series, Universal Tripod Legs, Supports up to 6.6 lbs., Maximum Height 25", Metallic Color.:

I currently own 3 of these, probably going to get one more.

This is reasonably priced for what it does, but what it does it does well! I have the MH 1304 ball heads (getting 1 more) on two of these for my 430ex flash and I have also mounted a MH 1302-210C ball head on the third one with my 7D and 70-200mm F/2.8 lens on that and it's working great.

I have mounted a 1D MK III and non-IS 300mm F/2.8 lens on it and it holds it pretty good, but I wouldn't use this tripod for that unless you really have to.

Very compact when you fold this up and it can get very, very low without moving around all that much. IM considering getting the foot spikes for these tripods because I would consider them to be used for some great macro photography uses.

These are an excellent small tripod to have when you need something to throw into your travel case for vacation and also sturdy enough for the pro photographer to use when he needs something smaller to support some of his mid sized cameras and lenses.
