I was looking for a tripod that could cover a range of shots from low to standing and this is it. Also can easily compact enough to toss onto my Lowepro bag. Lightweight enough to take anywhere, solid enough to trust heavy glass.

I didnt want to spend an outrageous amount on a tripod. After reading the other reviews, thought I'd give it a try. Its built well and very sturdy. My only issue is the head kinda drops without support. I believe this can be corrected though with a little creativity. Good buy for the price and for someone who doesnt need to heavily rely on a tripod.

Needed a stable, portable tripod for DSLR video of volleyball (cramped spaces, need to move often, might get hit). This tripod is rock solid and can be adjsuted quickly. It can get very low within seconds and is strong enough to support a heavy DSLR and fast zoom. The quick release lock needed a bit of adjustment, but that was simple enough. Great for the price.

Solid travel tripod. Sturdy, metal head with a 10lb rating. Felt confident with my heavy equipment attached. Legs easily adjust to level. Solid tripod, I'll be using more that just travel.

Great tripod but requires attention to make sure you don't unscrew the head when trying to turn the camera horizontally. This can be helped by loosening the handles to make it move more freely.

First off, I have never used a top of the line gitzo/manfrotto/etc tripod. Perhaps using one of those is a revelation. My only previous tripod was a $20 throwaway....Coming from that perspective, this one has: Surprisingly solid build quality, thick aluminum where it needs to be, head and center column unscrew, 4 locking leg angles, compass actually works, nice fluid panning, good control handles, gets low. Works great with my E510, standard lens and flash bracket. Hard to say if it would support a heavier dslr+lens as well. Great feature set and build quality for the price.

I have used this to take portrait shots. I am still learning how best to use the tripod.
