 great tripod for the money Jan 05, 2007
By Lov2Snorkel
This is a great tripod for the money. It holds a small camcorder and also has several bells and whistles for the price: built in carry handle, comes with a carry bag, has a hook so you can hang weights to also keep the tripod steady, pretty solid on adjusting legs and also panning and tilting.

I'm happy! Jun 21, 2008
By smf
I received this item quickly, which always puts me in a good mood. The tripod is perfect for what I do with my camera and camcorder- but I am no means a professional. Either way, for $25 this thing does it's job and I'm very pleased with my purchase. It has all kinds of handy little additions that I didn't expect (it's my first tripod)- like the level, different adjustments and a quick-release for the camera. Very cool.

 Good Tripod for the Price Aug 02, 2008
By Duncan Lowder
For the price this tripod is an amazing value, it does exactly what it claims to. It works perfectly with still cameras, but the head doesn't move smoothly so its a problem when using a video camera, it is fairly sturdy, and has a hook to attach weights when the tripod needs to be weighed down. This tripod is extremely portable, and the carrying bag that comes with it is great, its super light and you barely notice when you have to carry it around. For the price that you can purchase this item, it is definitly worth it, but if you are looking for a tripod for a video camera search elsewhere, the head doesn't move smoothly, which will result in jerky video.

 It's a No-Go Jul 13, 2008
By N. Nathan
This product broke about two weeks after I got it. The Crank for the top of the camera stopped working, and the plastic easilly chipped, so now it's broken. Do not get it, it's not even worth the $25

For $25.00 you couldn't ask for more! Apr 07, 2009
By Jason9x19

I have to say that for $25.00, this really isn't a bad tripod. I bought mine to hold a 4-lb chronograph as well as a digital camera and it does really well for both.
PROS: Lightweight, relatively durable, surprisingly solid feel, structurally.
CONS: Some of the plastic is just a little scary. Two parts that come to mind are the camera tilt lever and the weight hook. The tilt lever feels spongy...enough so, that I am extra-careful handling it, and the plastic hook on the bottom for weights? It would hold a lot more weight if it were metal, allowing the tripod to work in windier conditions, which quite frankly it needs. Mine blew over in 25MPH gusting winds the first time I used it before I added weight. About 10lbs of weight later, it was fine.
One piece of advice to anyone using this thing: There is a pipe that runs down the center of this thing that the leg support braces anchor to. It is threaded into a plastic housing with very fine threads and will "rip out" at the drop of a hat. Put a couple of drops of Loc-Tite on the threads before this becomes a bigger problem.
In closing, I would say this: If this is going to be mostly stationary or get light usage, it is an ideal stand for someone not wanting to pay big bucks for a professional rig. If, however, you plan to travel a lot with it and set it up/break it down a lot, then you may want to go to a more expensive model. As for me, I'll have this out maybe five times a year, and I think it will be more than enough to suit my needs for several years to come.
