+ Good sturdy construction with a very conveniant handle,and a decent quick release.

- Difficult to position the camara straight even with 2 spiret levels.after aligning the bubble in its central position the mechanism continues the movement you just made.
Maybe i just need practice :-)

Alan, Ashbourne

+ compact, quick lock legs, carry handle, lightweight

- Pan and tilt head is terrible. Tilt head is miles out in its 90 deg position. Locking the tilt is quite difficult. The spirit levels are a total waste of time (far to slow, a fast bubble would be more effective)

+ It is a sturdy tripod and pretty stable.

- The head mechanism is cumbersome and clunky to use. It is difficult to get the right tilt angle even for a tripod of this price.

Tim, East Grinstead

+ A sturdy and compact model. Easy to carry round outside

- I was unable to turn a camera and take a picture vertically. The tilt was a few degrees off and that effected the picture. I may have been user error but the solution is not obvious.

tanya, stamford

+ easy to use and quite light

- no instructions in the box so there are a few parts of the tripod i have no idea what are used for which seems silly really. If someone has never used a tripod before, instructions are very helpful.

+ Lightweight but sturdy, the handgrip makes it very easy to hold and quickly release/secure legs at same time. Useful hook under centre extension which happens to hold my camera bag.

- Panning handle takes several turns to hold it in the right place. Spriit level seems almost useless - I find I'm quicker/more accurate at working out what is level (but I've always had a good eye for level/horizontals). When centre is extended it can't really take a heavy lens if mounted on the camera base (but should probably use lenses with tripod mount on the lens). However still much better than my original tripod - good value.

Paul, Dundee

+ Does what it says on the box ! Lightweight and folds down to a handy easy portable size

- tripod head when camera fitted and tilted for shots at 45 degrees longitudinally isn't a true 45 degrees thus unable to shoot at this angle

Richard, Dartford

+ Well constructed with controls for all dimensions

- The only bad point is that you have not provided instructions. The tripod has some features I haven't had before and I am still working out how to use them.
