Comments about Tiltall Tiltall Tripod - Gold:
This one broken in the first one hour of usage. Extending the legs was painful and takes time. Attaching the camera platform plate is not smooth and constantly test the patience.

Comments about Tiltall Tiltall Tripod - Gold:
Tripod seems very well constructed. Comes with a bag, but at least mine came with no instructions. I emphasize this because I have not been able to find the leg that supposedly unscrews to be used as a monopod.I tried looking for information of this item in the internet but found next to nothing. [...].Apart from this, the tripod folds very compact, has spike feet, center column can be mounted upside down (you'll have to figure it out yourself because, again, no instructions nor info on the web). I am planning to keep the tripod IF I can actually do the "monopod conversion". I would recommend if you need a tripod which folds small, but for nothing more.

this is a good tripod. However, this is not meant for a full-frame dslr.

Comments about Tiltall Tiltall Tripod - Gold:
I like this tripod, it's got a lot of features similar to much more expensive tripods.
I needed a light, small, easily packable tripod and this fits the bill.
It fits in my backpack without being conspicuous as this helps me at times.
Don't expect to use monster lenses with this one as it just won't hold up to the task.
The construction is passable and should last for a few years if not abused. I tend to take care of my equipment but not baby it.
As for me- I have a larger, heavier Induro at home when I need a solid tripod. But I seem to grab this one more often than not because of it's size and weight.

Comments about Tiltall Tiltall Tripod - Gold:
This tripod represents an excellent value considering all the features it has. I liked the removable leg which converts into a monopod. The center post is also removable so it can be inverted for macro work. It is on the heavy side but very stable.

Comments about Tiltall Tiltall Tripod - Gold:
Went to Adorama on a trip to NYC to look for a travel tripod. I was thinking Benro but the salesman pointed me at the Tiltall. Since I was on a budget, the Tiltall was very appealing.
Build and portability: This tripod folds a lot smaller than a normal tripod, but isn't the smallest and it's a bit heavier than the lightest ones out there. But it's very sturdy, the build quality is excellent and it's a great value. I prefer the quality metal parts to what's used in low end carbon fiber tripods - which seem plasticky to me.
Sturdiness: The tripod is sturdy enough to use with my Nikon F100, D90 or Mamiya RZ67. I wouldn't use it with a very heavy and unbalanced kit, e.g. a large DSLR with f/2.8 tele zoom rotated for vertical frame - but if that's what you shoot, you already know the difficulties. My digital shots and 3200 PPI film scans have been extremely sharp.
Ergonomics: Quick release and leg section locks are quick to use. Everything has nice rubber grips. Leg warmers make for good gripping. Leg folding and center column flipping work as advertised. Light enough to carry comfortably and the included case can be worn across the back or put in another bag.
Conclusion: Highly recommended. I give it 4 stars because 5 is reserved for pro grade equipment costing hundreds more, but for this money you won't do better.
