Comments about Slik Slik Sprint Pro II Tripod - Gunmetal Finish - with Ball Head & Case:

This is an excellent tripod for the money at only [$] with the head. The tripod is very light weight (<2 lbs), but sturdy at the same time. Very high build quality. The lower leg sections are pretty thin, so if you extend them all the way, you lose some rigidity, which may be a pain for shooting in wind, but I haven't had it affect my shooting yet. The legs are independently adjustable and fold out to 88 degrees, and the riser unscrews so this tripod can get almost flat on the ground. It's an excellent tripod for macro photography, being able to get to almost any height and position. I have easily photographed ants on the ground with a 105mm macro.The ball head is small, but barely large enough for a DSLR. I use this with my D90 and a 70-300mm Nikkor. It works, but its almost at it's limit here. The weak point is really the size of the mounting plate.Overall, this is a fantastic, lightweight tripod. Not perfect, but you won't beat it for less than $100. You won't be disappointed!

A nice, lightweight easy to use tripod that is great for travel and home use. Having previously bought a Slik tabletop tripod, I knew the quality would be good. One thing i would change is is that the locking mechanism on the plate is plastic not metal. Could be a weak spot. Other than that, great tripod for the budget photographer.

I have a heavy, stable tripod for my big lenses and wildlife photography. I needed a tripod that is light and small enough to pack in a suitcase to use with smaller lenses on trips and in low light or for HDR. This fits the bill for my, relatively small, pentax K7 dslr. The ballhead is a little small and I replaced it with a Manfrotto 484RC2.

I love this lil tripod, I call it little because it folds down so small. The adjustable angle of the legs is one of my favorite parts. Just makes it great for getting into odd posisions, and macro photography. I have to give it a 9+ just because the lower leg sections are a lil delicate.

This is a great tripod to take on hikes, traveling, events or just use around the house. It is very stable, easy to setup and put away. I love the adjustable heights as I take pictures of animals and plants and it makes it so easy to get down to their level. It is light so carrying it is not a problem and it comes with a case. Glad I got this one!

This is compact enough to fit into a day pack and is quite light. When fully extended, it is still reasonably solid, especially given its light weight. It is perfect for hikes and other activities where you must carry your equipment for long distances.

This tripod was not as nice as I expected and seems unstable in raised position. I think it would be ok for an ultra light camera but not a DSLR in my opinion.

I love macrophotography and I've been wanting a
"grounder" for a long time. It's not the sturdiest, but I love the weight.
