(More customer reviews)This is probably the best under 100 dollars, prosumer, entry-level, complete, ball-head tripod. It is full of good features that will allow you to do versatile things with your tripod. it is light-weight, compact (yet extends to a reasonable height), and comes with a carrying case which has a sling. everything seems pretty solid on this tripod. the ball head easily locks in solidly and stays where you put it. the legs pull out to three different, extended positions. (here i'm talking about the angle of the legs, not the telescoping length.) the first position requires no movement of the locking mechanism-you freely move between closed position and the first extended position. for the second extended position you must pull the locking mechanism out halfway and for the third extended position you must pull the locking mechanism all the way. the locking mechanism is not indexed, it pulls out perpendicular from its leg in a continuous fashion. the stem extension is relatively smooth with a bit of "catching" when you don't pull the stem straight up, but it locks in solidly. this same catching is experienced with the leg's telescoping length extension. to save money they only put a grip on one leg, that's okay. the only real complaint i have is that on one of the legs, the mechanism which hides and exposes the spikes on the ends of the legs is a bit "sticky" when you twist it. however, this is not so bad that i need to return it, and in fact, it has gotten better.
i highly recommend this to anyone who wants a tripod that will not fall apart on them as the cheep 15 dollar ones WILL. I have a "kodak" tripod (which is just some generic pan/tilt tripod with kodak's name printed on it) and the plastic has broken all over it. this tripod is mostly metal, and the plastic components seem solid (compared to my "kodak" tripod who's plastic is still breaking off).
again, this is very versatile for the price. please watch their video to see all the things it can do.
also, the plate on the ball head has rubber on it, so when you screw it on to you camera or binoculars it really sticks to it. i use this tripod for astronomical binoculars as well and it is great. because each legs moves independently, you can sit and lean back in a chair and put the binoculars right above you-great!
oh ya, it's made in china...probably the biggest con.
