I read a lot of the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect from this tripod, so I decided to try it out for myself. I'm planning a trip so I wanted something that was easy to carry and lightweight. This tripod definitely offers that. It also has quite a few adjustments for such an inexpensive tripod.

However, if you are serious about photography I would skip buying this. I tried it out on my Nikon d40 and found that the mounting plate doesn't screw in tightly (causing the camera to swivel when turned to a downward/upward position). I've used professional level tripods and they are definitely worth the money. If you're looking for something really sturdy and high quality I wouldn't really recommend getting this tripod.

Great basic tripod

Great tripod for the price. It is light and easy to carry. Has a satisfactory hight and range of motion. Not super stable because of the weight - but the trade-off is well worth it. I definitely recommend this product.

Are you serious? For the money, this thing rocks!

Light, portable, not costly, has built in leveling and amazing stability. Not sure what else you could possibly want. Paying more is usually not "better", just paying more. This tripod will do it all.

Not for camcorders , bad product.

This probably one of the worst products I've ever bought. So disapponited. Firstly the tripod that was sent to me was a used one but sold to me as NEW. You could clearly see that it was a returned item. Had scratches all over. I don't mind used items but what I don't like is paying for a new item but shipped a used one. Secondly, the tripod is horrible. It makes this squeeking sound when you go up and down and not only that but it also does not turn smoothly as it's supposed to when you use the camcorder. Imagine you record something important and you have all those squeeking sounds when you turn up and down and sideways? I'm guessing it's ok for people who will be using it for small digital cameras but not dSLRs. I wouldn't use it with my E-510. It might collapse down when used with Zuiko 70-300mm lens.
Just horrible product overall. But as they say "you get what you pay for". This tripod is going right back at amazon.

Bought as a gift.

I got the tripod as a gift and haven't seen it but the recipient said it was great.

Low cost, light weight, light duty.

Not a bad little tripod for the price, but don't plan to use it for professional photography results, or to hold a camera much heavier than a point-and-shoot (based on my Canon A720is on this tripod). It is light weight and relatively small, so it will make a decent travel tripod, and I plan to use it on my local bicycle trips for some nature photos. The case is unpadded but reasonably well made, the shoulder strap is a little short for a somewhat large male (me), but it will still work OK. When I first set it up, one of the bottom legs pulled completely out with its clamp attached. I didn't want the inconvenience of sending it back, so, after 15 minutes of frustration I finally got the clamp re-attached to the upper leg. The quick release shoe must be removed to attach/detach the camera, and I haven't been able to find a second shoe listed to fit this tripod, which defeats the purpose of being able to quickly switch between 2 or more cameras using the quick release. The bubble level near the shoe is just an empty yellow tube (no liquid, no bubble!). Still, this tripod should serve its purpose well, as long as it is not banged hard against something. So, if you want to dabble a little in nature photography or need some support for macro shots with a small camera, this tripod should fill the bill for a year or so, if you take care of it.

Excellent Lightweight with Carrying Case

turned out to be pretty good, lightweight n look at the price ! Ain't it cheap ??

Great little tripod!

This tripod is small, light, and inexpensive. It didn't have instructions but didn't need them; my inquisitive 6 year old (mostly) put it together while I wasn't looking. It has a quick release; the hardest part is attaching the quick release plate to the camera. I've gotten good results taking long-exposure photos of the night sky. When it folds up, it is very light and compact and comes with a convenient case. But when extended, it is quite a nice useful height. If you just want a nice, small, cheap, effective tripod, this is the one to get.

Great value

Great tripod for the price. Feels a little flimsy at first but it works great, is easy to set up, and the price is right.

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
