Well, after reading the reviews I did not expect a Home Run, but for the price paid for this tripod and having in mind that I was looking for a beginner tripod, the product is OK.

I went out (rough trip) with this tripod on my shoulder and it is very light, and it was intact after getting back to home. My only concern is some cheap plastic parts and a unbalanced head that needs to be adjusted.

If you are a casual photographer or you're looking for a home tripod, this could be your option.

This tri-pod is amazing. For the price I think that it is well worth the investment.

Product arrived neatly packed. I was pleased with it. It is very versatile and can be extended to a great heighth. The only thing that detracts is the tighening bolt for the main camera platform. It can't be locked down as tight as I would want. This allows it to slip if much force is put on it, so you have to be careful when using it to keep the camera in place or to not strip out the bolt when tightening. You just have to remember that it can only be snugged up so much and that's it. Otherwise I'm very pleased with this unit.


5 out of 5 stars Good value for the money !! Opteka 70"   November 9, 2008
It does everything I needed. It turns every way I needed. It's not heavy and at the same time it's pretty stable and well built tripod. I would recommend it!
