Customer Review: Good Quality, Cheap Price
Summary: 4 Stars

When searching for a tripod, I wasn't looking for an expensive professional broadcast grade product but, on the other hand, I didn't want something so cheap it would fall apart at the seams, collapse and destroy camcorder or camera. I was hesitant about purchasing this unit for that very reason, I mean come on, $15, how much faith can I put in that? Ultimately my bugdet prevailed and I opted for the SLIK SDV-20. I was impressed by its solid construction for a tripod of that price. It's relatively lightweight and can only support up to 4 lbs, but that's all I needed. I use it with a Canon Powershot A95 digital camera and a Samsung SCD27 MiniDV camcorder, the latter only weighting a couple of pounds with battery. That being said, I wouldn't consider leaving this tripod unattended in windy or other adverse conditions as it is lightweight and can be top heavy when fully extended. All in all, it's one of the best $15 I ever spent.

Pros: Cheap, Lightweight, Easy storage(fits in a small to medium size duffle), Durable, Excellent height(almost 60 inches, 10 inches higher than like priced tripods)

Cons: Lightweight(can be top heavy), Pan and tilt adjustments not very smooth(when used with a heavier camera or camcorder), Only 1 quick-release attachment plate(could've used 2 for both my cameras), Quick-release attachment plate needs a flat head screwdriver to attach to camera(have to carry around the flat head screwdriver with the tripod to switch between cameras)
