Customer Review: Best tripod in world for the price....
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been looking at tripods for about 3 months and I really did not like the fact the most are 50.00 and up for a lot of nothing. Most dont have the hook on the bottom for a weight that I was looking at for the price. I saw this one and figured I would give it a shot for 20 bux and I am glad I did. After comparing mine against my buddies $56.00 tripod, I really see that it was worth the money, They are both almost identical but his is more plasticy and doest have the weight hook on it. The hook is a great feature, once you hook one up to it the tripod feels like its part of the floor. definately a key feature. love it all around. My only gripe is that I wish it was a little taller..Im 6 foot and a 59-62 would be a great size for me but thats the only gripe and I really could care less..Customer Review: Light weight but poor quality

I got this for my 19th anniversary Maui trip with my wife. U know what happen when u don't have a tripod. All the pictures will be just either your wife or yourself. So I decided to buy a light weight travel tripod. When I first got it, I thought it was a little skimpy. The head was not fluid smooth as my old sunpak one (that one was heavy so I don't take it far on any trip). I thougt may be after a few use, it would become smoother. Big disappointment! On my first use at Maui, I took it out from the bag, the lower portion of one of the leg fell out! I able to temporarily fixed it for a couple of pictures (risking my Canon 40D while using it). Then I tried again to take some sunset pictures with my wife later, that broken leg just won't stay anymore and I need to return it to Amazon.Customer Review: Good For The Price, Know What You Are Getting!

The "Digital Concepts TR-60N" is an inexpensive, lightweight tripod. This tripod is not professional grade and I would not trust my high end equipment on it, but it is a great value for day to day use.
We have used this tripod in our shop for over a year now with fairly good results. We take product pictures using a mid-priced digital camera amd make instructional videos using several camcorders, using this tripod for the smaller cameras. Knowing the tripod's limitations has kept us happy with this purchase.
Pros:
* Inexpensive
* Fairly Sturdy
* Includes bubble level
* Sets up quickly
* Includes carry bag
Cons:
* Not steady at max extension
Overall and for the very low price, recommended!
Customer Review: I kinda sorta would maybe recommend this... a little
Summary: 3 Stars
Loved this when I received it. I was using it for a relatively small point and shoot camera. My main goal was to take photos of the moon. It worked out pretty nice for a while.
Things started to go down hill when i got my SLR ( a NIKON D100 ) The weight of the camera and my new frequency of use stared to where down the tripod. The legs started to lose their strength. They would slowly slip into each other, shrinking while i was using it. Obviously a big pain in butt.
I eventually went out and grabbed a larger and much more sturdy tripod.
If your looking for a light use and and very convenient tripod then definitely pick this up. If your plans are leaning toward lots of shots then go bigger and make the investment.
Customer Review: Nice product, Great price
Summary: 5 Stars
A nice tripod, with easy-to-use controls, once you've found and/or figured them all out. Snap-locks on the legs are easy to use, and the legs are fairly sturdy. Tilt-and-pan head may not have a stability control, but for this price you want diamonds maybe? It's fairly smooth, and just get a good video camera with stability control built it. The center "lift" post and crank worked nicely; once again, not hand-tooled brass or steel, but once again, not $100-$200 either.
It will be used alongside of a pre-war (WW II) brass and steel tripod, of the kind "they don't make anymore" quality; a bit lighter, but good enough for almost-professional work, and a lot less valuable if anything did happen to it.
All in all, it is nice.
