Very sturdy tripod, feels very well built. Comes with nice ball-head attached and a carrying case.There is a hook at the base of the central column to add a weight if using a large telephoto lens and you can reverse the central column to take shots from very low levels as well.Despite this being a very good tripod there is one thing to note - unlike similar looking tripods this model does not have a removable leg to turn it into a monopod.

So please with my new tripod. Solid tripod and easy to use - thank you

This has all the features of more expensive tripods in a somewhat lesser build quality. Holds my Canon DSLR and a medium focal length lens with reasonable stability. I would not go with heavier gear or movement shots such as birds or sports. Weight is acceptable for hiking into landscape shooting locations. Comes with a well made carry case and packs down to suitcase size. For the price, this is a good starter tripod and supplements my heavier units when on location.

I bought one of these tripods recently for my husband, and although I read a lot if very good reviews on it, I thought it couldn't be quite as good as that at the bargain price I paid. But my husband assures me that it's beautifully made and really good quality.Today our DIL saw it and thought it was excellent too, so I've just ordered one fir her at the same ex

Fantastic quality at a great price. Look no further.

I had always used a standard/basic tripod but realised that it's lack of flexibility was restricting my opportunities for taking photos because I couldn't get very low with it, so I set off on a mission to seek a tripod that could get low to the ground. After quite substantial searching on Amazon I came across this tripod. I noted that the legs could be extended out to create a low angle, but also the head could be removed and the camera mounted below the tripod.I have used this tripod on numerous occasions and I can confirm that it is excellent value for money and I'm delighted with the purchase.The tripod arrives in a strong, well made carry case - which has a very comfortable shoulder strap too. The tripod fits in the carry case easily - although you do have to make sure it is all fully collapsed for it to fit.The tripod is made from a very sturdy magnesium aluminium alloy and it certainly feels solid and robust when in use. It provides excellent stability for long exposure photography. It is not too heavy to carry - but it's certainly not the lightest out there.A nice touch is one of the legs is covered with foam padding to make the tripod comfortable to carry - and this is how I usually carry it as I find it bulky and inconvenient to have the bag too.The legs extend with flip out clips, which enable easy extension of the legs and when fully extended the tripod reaches approx 1.3m. As I bought the tripod to use at low level, I have rarely used it fully extended but I feel it will provide adequate stability.The tripod mounting plate attaches to the camera by standard screw fit and it easily slips into the tripod and is tightened by a screw. The head of the tripod is a kind of ball mount which allows numerous pivot angles and tilts. I have found this a very useful feature to help level the camera.

Very good features for the money. Nice, flexible tripod with easy release legs and ball head. Neat carry bag supplied too. I feel this was a good buy, having looked at many options.

The tripod came as a pleasant surprise, a very well thought out design and the quality and finish were excellent. In all a first rate product.

Very sturdy, head is very smooth, it's nice but it is hard to say what the quality is as this is the first tripod I have purchased, I did look at alot of different ones and read a lot of reviews and this one seemed like the best bang for my buck. It is very attractive, leg pull out smooth and is nicely priced
