5 out of 5 stars great   September 24, 2008
it's plastic.However quite stable.
I'm considering a 70-200 IS F2.8/L,so wait and see if it can carry it.
However,I think it will work perfectly until you put some huge stuffs such as 1Ds Mark3 plus a 400 4/L...
very satisfied.



5 out of 5 stars light, good options for an absolute novice   September 17, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I really like this thing. It's light enough and feels sturdy enough for a small camera, even possibly a video camera. Then again, I'm a novice so take this review with a grain of salt.


4 out of 5 stars Steady   August 27, 2008

This thing is very steady, however there is one thing I don't like about is that the level trigger thing in the middle is very annoying. When I roll it to the high level it cannot handle heavy camera to hold on to it. I wish there is a lock button to hold it.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Tripod   August 25, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm a novice in the photography dept., so I wanted to start out with a tripod that's user friendly, well made, yet affordable. I purchased one for taking pictures on ebay. Adjusting the height is no problem, and the quick release attachment is a pleasure to use with my Sony Cybershot. I found this tripod to be an excellent value.


5 out of 5 stars Good basic tripod   July 14, 2008

This is my first tripod, and it seems to be a good one for the money. Very flexible in terms of setup and it is plenty sturdy. The balancing screws on the feet are nice. Easy to set up and easy to carry.
