1) Velbon quality. Velbon makes great tripods. Yes, you could spend thousands for a pro tripod, but you dont have to!

2) Height. I have a large tripod (Velbon model ordered from Amazon) that I use for portrait shots, etc. However, for macro owrk and other shots that require close quarter and/or low to ground access, this is excellent.

It also works with both cameras and camcorders, which is very handy. The 3-way pan head is critical in a tripod, and of course it has a quick release like all Velbon tripods.

Great DealApr 25, 2008
By Scott T. Klingaman
I received the tri-pod in a timely manner,
it is very well made and supports my
Sony a100 with 200m lens easily. It has a
quick release mount which is very nice, if
you want/need to remove the camera quickly.
It's 3-way rotating base is simple to use,
and provides a steady base in any position.
I would highly recommend this product to
anyone.

Great for TravelJun 14, 2009
By Todd Gilbert
Looking forward to using this on vacation. The tripod is very sturdy and is great for the price.

I love how it compacts down to a foot - fits in a suitcase great. Supports my 5D2 with 24-70L quite well.

To make it better:

Allow alternative heads - a ballhead would be much better for photo work.

Use better clamps. The leg clamps are the cheapest part on it - and I would have liked to see better plastic used. The legs are strong and metal - would have liked that level to been consistent throughout the rest of the design.

A 'Little Monster' of a Tripod!!Feb 20, 2010
By A. Almanza
I jokingly call this tripod my "little monster," and if you buy this tripod you'll see why. I swear this thing is heavier than some other full-size tripods. It is sturdy, REALLY sturdy, and includes all the functionality of higher end larger tripods. I love this wonderful little tripod, and for how much it costs versus other small tripods, I HIGHLY suggest getting this one!! You'll definitely be happy that you did. Solid construction, smooth tilting and panning, and high functionality make this a must buy for anyone wanting a tripod capable of performing low-angle to extremely low-angle shots, and definitely makes it my beloved 'little monster.'

Little tripod, little priceAug 29, 2009
By Middle age tech freak
I got this for doing macro shots close to the ground. There are better ways to do this, but this is a lot cheaper than a bigger tripod that can get down low. It's also a nice travel tripod - it's light and small.

On the downside, it's pretty much plastic. And heavier SLRs are at it's limit. But - for the price and the fact that it doesn't pretend to be more, it does the job.
