 Tripod review June 21, 2008
I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the tripod and the carrying case with camera bag attached. It is an excellent value for the price.
 Dissapointed, but you get what you pay for. December 14, 2007

Cons:
Flemsy: Must be very gentle or you will break off legs.
Cheap parts: Screws and bolts strip very easily, plastic isn't very durable, and the whole thing is not built very squarely. Have to finagle and shimy things to get them level.
Not small: Fully closed it is still 21" my good tripod is only 24"! This really doesn't seem travel to me. And if you put it in a bag I am sure that it would be broken by the time you got where you were going.
Pros:
Cheap.
It works, kind of.
Clamp locks for legs.
The mini tripod is cool, I think they were trying to make up for the horrible travel tripod.
I would only use this tripod to set up a camera for still shots. If you plan on moving other than picking the whole thing up and moving, get something else. If it were not as cheap as it was I would have returned it. But I think the mini tripod was worth the small amount payed.
 A good buy December 14, 2007
This tripod is a good for occasional use. Some parts are flimsy and it could use instructions which do not come with it. But for the price it's a good buy.
NOT WHAT I WANTED October 31, 2007

THIS TRIPOD IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU NEED GOOD STEADY FOOTING FOR YOUR CAMERA. THE HEAD IS MADE OF PLASTIC NOT METAL..IT MAKES YOUR CAMERA BOUNCE...THE OPTION OF QUICKLY REMOVING THE CAMERA FROM THE TRIPOD IS A GOOD IDEA, BUT YOU FEEL AS IF THE MECHANISM WILL BREAK IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
THIS TRIPOD IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY ME. THE PRICE IS CHEAP BUT SO IS THE MERCHANDISE...NOT GOOD FOR THE PRICE...FEELS LIKE A PLASTIC TOY.

This product is really nice for the price. I just needed a decent tripod for a 3 week trip so I didn't want to spend too much money, but wanted something still nice. I really like the travel bag and how when the tripod is not inside, the tripod section can be folded up and stored under the velcro flap making it less bulky. The actual tripod is better than expected and even works with my Canon D SLR Rebel XTi. It is very light weight which is great for traveling, but it can be a little wobbly when moving so take care when adjusting it so that it doesn't fall over if you have a heavy camera on it. It works great with my Nikon Coolpix S7c also. The mini tripod in the handle is best for smaller cameras, but still a nice addition for certain shots. I also like the flip locks for extending the legs instead of twisting locks. Overall this product is worth the price and more.
