Shopper : does this try pod extend to 60"?DAVID R : Max Height with column fully extended: 75.98?RICHARD P : can't say really how far it will extend,as it broke and was unrepairable : (XIHUA D : it can be extended to be pretty tall. i guess 60 inch is ok
ANGELA M : will this work with an Olympus Pen EPL3 camera? I am sorry that I know nothing about cameras and my daughter is getting one for Christmas. I want to get her a tripod and a caseJT T : Yes it will work with that camera.
James T : Can macro-photos be taken with this tripod?LEWIS N : I would say yesLEWIS N : I would sayMICHAEL E : absolutely, but the tripod has very little to do with it. the real question is what kind of results can your camera produce shooting macro? the camera lens is the deciding factor, but yes, this tripod will be plenty good enough if your camera/lens are good enough.ANDREW R : I'm not sure I understand your question. This tripod can used for many photographic purposes, but if you're looking for a tripod that will hold a camera at nearly ground level, this particular tripod will not be suitable.

You get what you pay for

I got this tripod for my smart phone. This comes with the smartphone adapter. Those who rated this bad, look at the specs, UP TO 4#s. I will not use this with my DSLR. This is not made for that.. Short lens are ok

Cheap in all ways. NOT A FLUID HEAD!!!

Not a "Fluid head"!!! all plastic, very flimsy, not stable at all. head jerks when you pan it, even with the tension screw as loose as it will go. stay away. wanted a lightweight travel tripod but this is not the one to buy.
