4 out of 5 stars Great lightweight travel tripod   July 7, 2008
This tripod was exactly as advertised: light weight, inexpensive and easy to carry.


4 out of 5 stars great for the price   April 12, 2008
Considering the price, it's a great little tripod. I bought it to take pictures in dimly lit churches and caves in Italy, where I won't have access to an appropriate surface to use a table-top tripod. The tripod serves the purpose for which it was designed - an inexpensive, compact piece of equipment that's good in a pinch. It's probably unsafe in windy conditions and certainly can't be used to hold a camera with a heavy lens, but it wasn't designed for this.

One complaint: it's tricky to get the legs extended all the way. Vanguard arguably could have paid more attention to this aspect. But for the price, I can't complain too much.



3 out of 5 stars not for the professional   February 10, 2008

it's quite portable and light and can fulfill the needs of a normal user, but with a lot of sacrifices. the locking mechanism of the legs are kinda flimsy, the legs actually locked only when they are fully extended. no level bubble meter.


4 out of 5 stars excellent tripod   January 24, 2008
this is an excellent tripod for traveling, or anywhere. Small, lite weight, and expands to good size.
