Comments about Giottos Giottos MT-9170 3-Section Universal Tripod Legs, Black Aluminum (Supports up to 26 lbs):
This tripod combines reasonable price with strong load capability. When teamed with a good ballhead (I use a Markens M10) this tripod is a good, sound platform upon which to load your camera setup. I believe that its greatest strength is the versatility of the center column which you can adjust to hold the camera very close to the ground for very close-up marcophotography shots. The legs are nice and stout and easily adjustable to just about any position you might need, or want.

Feels like a really well made piece of gear. The finish is nice too.
It's a little heavy for hiking, but they make a lighter set.

Claims it can carry a weight of 26 lbs, The main nut holding my wimberly head broke, dropping my lens and camera on the ground.I have since replaced it with a heavy duty nut and no problems since then. Not very stable and have problems with the locking of the legs
