I bought this product because the price was very attractive. When I received that product, I was quite please with the size and weight of the overall unit (and it came with a carrying case). But when I set up the tripod, I noticed that not all of the leg locks locked securely. As a result, I have a tripod that I can only use as long as I don't extend the one section of legs (because of the faulty leg locks). So instead of the full height of the tripod being usable, I am left with a short tripod (and I'm a tall person 6'-3). I would recommend that you spend a little more money and get something with a little more quality.
Perhaps I am being a little harsh in my ratings, but on the other hand I have learned very quickly what the limitations of this tripod are!! It might be great for a very light weight and I mean VERY light weight camera, but for a 35mm or DSLR it barely makes the grade, add any sort of zoom or telephoto lens to your camera...forget it!! this tripod cannot handle the weight, it will not lock into place and the legs are very flemsy. It is a very unstable platform that I for one would not trust walking away from and being out of reach with a prized camera mounted to it.
Seems like a decent piece of equipment for the money paid. I am not much into photography, but bought this for the once in a supermoon (or solar eclipse) click! I have a Canon SX10 IS and it fits perfectly on it. Its robust and seems to provide the desired bit of stability needed. Quite lightweight. I would some day go for a better tripod, once I get to know what a better tripod could do better than this one.
For the price, this is a great deal. I bought this as my travel tripod to keep in my car. It's very light, and easy to use. The quick release feature comes in handy when I need to detach and take a quick shot. It does feel a bit "cheap", but for this price, it does its job.
I realy like this product. It is light weight and easy to use. I wish it were a little more heavy duty but then it would be heavier. Great price! I love the fact that it has a level on it. I love taking pictures of my kids, nature, anything worth taking a picture of and this tripod makes it easy to set up my camera for a family photo or a sporting event. I would buy another Zeikos tripod when the time comes.
