 Good value if you don't need a professional tripod |
| Review Date: February 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: N. Haack, Milwaukee, WI |
| This is not a professional tripod and is not meant to be. If you don't need a professional tripod, however, this one works great. It has a level, good mobility, and is lightweight for going on long shoots. |
Acceptable

| Reviewer: Robert Shea, Lakenheath, UK |
The tripod is very lightweight and works as advertised. It comes with the detachable head that more expensive kits ask you to purchase separately. It does reach the advertised 70" height. Which is excellent for my very tall wife, but not so great very stability. We were at a crowded photo shoot and had to catch the tripod a couple of times as other folks easily knocked it over.
The legs extend easily and lock with one hand.
Positioning the head takes some getting used to and you have to work in two planes so panning and scanning are more difficult. It's better for panoramic shots than action shots. If you only pan in plane (football, soccer) it works fairly well. But the plastic head components aren't as smooth as a metal ball and socket.
It will do until I can find a professional tripod kit.
The only real failure was the tongue of the zipper on the carry bag breaking the first trip out. It still zips so... |
not built very well

| seems like a good item, and seemed sturdy. When I received it, pieces were already broken. I should have bought it in person. the seller obviously doesn't care about his/her customers because the box wasn't even sealed so the seller should have checked the product before sending it out. |
Love it - husband really lies it also.

| Reviewer: Carmen Altieri, |
| I received this unit quickly and was initially pleasedwith it but could not get the head to tighten down on the rotation of head put it away for the day, when I opened it again the head feel off in my hands broke loose from the tubing shaft that cranks it up I called 47th street photo and explained the problem and they replaced the unit within the week very pleasant to deal with would not hesitate to buy from them again. |
