Stuart, Isle of Skye

+ Fantastic value for money for me, buying my first tripod. More of a quality feel to it than I found with others I looked at for a similar price.

- Not as sturdy as expensive models, but who would expect it to be considering the huge price gap!

karen, lincoln

+ It is reasonably light to carry and more solid than it looks

- Would maybe need something with a heavier base if using fairly large lens as it becomes top heavy

David, Northwich

+ Easily portable. Quick to assemble and fix camera.

- Light weight can mean some movement taking shots. Remote switch best for slower shutter speeds.

Linsey, Crawley

+ This is a very well priced tripod, which I have found perfect for us with both my Video Camera and Digital Still Camera. It is very easy to set up and adjust and is lightweight so you can carry it around with the camera attached or quickly release the camera with the platform for hand held shots

- No bad points

Richard, Loughton

+ Strength whilst lightweight.

- Camera platform where it fixes to camera is too smooth, meaning that the camera is liable to slip on it.

+ I love the quick release for my camera. Also the tripod is very stable even when it's fully open. For the money the tripod is well worth it.

- No bad points at all.

+ nice and light, but holds even a relativley heavy camera (nikon d90 + 300mm telephoto) steady. Also comparitivley cheep so pretty good value for money.

- feels a bit flimsy (probably because it's so light) at full extension. would be even better if it packed down into a more compact unit.
