Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bottom line: This is a decent tripod for the money, but it's not great. If you can afford a better tripod, don't bother with this. This has some really solid components. The legs themselves are pretty solid and have a great finish. The extensions pull out really nicely and stay in place perfectly. The feet have little ball joints on the ends so you're always pretty stable regardless of what the ground is like. But that's about where the good stuff ends. Where the legs attach to the body is flimsy and will move if you touch the camera, which almost negates any value of HAVING a tripod since as soon as you press the shutter button, the pod will shift. Sometimes it won't shift back and you'll get a good shot. Sometimes it will rebound and you'll get a smeared mess. There is an extension on the body that will raise the mount up, but that is about as stable as a bobble head doll. The crank to raise it feels like it could snap off at any moment. I'm debating returning this item. It is still slightly better than no tripod at all.
