 excellent tripod January 24, 2008
this is an excellent tripod for traveling, or anywhere. Small, lite weight, and expands to good size.
 Great for on the go September 6, 2007

Very small and lightweight are overwhelmingly the reasons to buy this tripod. Yes, it is difficult (or impossible) to have the legs extend to anything but full height. But, this is not a big problem for me.
 POS broke easily, inferior design July 16, 2007

The telescoping legs are similar to an umbrella in that they have a little pin that snaps into place, and like an unbrella, only have one legnth that is locked into place, so you have a mini-tripod or full height. That would be fine, except the pins are cheap s$*! and broke on me, making it so one leg would not lock.
Don't buy this product, go with the independantly locking legs. For how much this cost, it should be of higher quality.
Not up to the task March 6, 2007

I used this tripod on two trips last year, Mesa Verde and Arizona. I found it to be good only for still photography at best. Even then the leg locking issue was problamatic. As stated in an earlier review, if you do not fully extend the leg in its section then the unit does not lock and it buckles. The problem is that it is not always easy to determine if you fully extended the segment. It was in trying to adjust for this that the tripod broke. Apparantly I pulled a little too hard on the segment trying to make sure it was locked and it broke. This might seem like negligence but I kid you not when I say you need to pull hard on the segment in order to make it lock. I might have actually been upset except it was such an awful tripod for panning that I was better off shooting video without it. The pan head is jerky and hard to move and required me to place my hand on the camera and slowly rotate the head using pressure. Needless to say this is time consuming and uncomfortable. Yes the unit is light and packs well but overall you are better off with a tripod that is built better.
