Tripod Reviews

I ordered this tripod only to have it arrive with two of the lower leg struts (plastic) broken so the legs couldn't be braced correctly. Sent it back and got a replacement - it also arrived with one broken strut. The plastic must be very weak so beware. Wouldn't recommend this for anyone backpacking etc.

This is a good starter tripod. It's lightweight, is generally well constructed, and comes with two quick-release camera attachments (handy if you're using it with more than one camera).

There is a bubble level on the camera mount and a dome-like bubble level on the base where the legs attach. Neither seems useful or accurate. Furthermore, extending the legs all the way and setting the tripod on a level surface doesn't cause the camera to be level - you still have to fiddle around with the individual leg heights to get things properly level.

Having said that, it's usually not much of a hassle to get it set up the way you want.

For this price, it's a great thing to have around for those times you need a tripod. I got to actually be in the Christmas photos by way of my camera's timer and this tripod.
