Had this item for a few years now and still really pleased with it. Does what it says on the tin, yeah could have spent more on a well known brand but hey this works. Excellent bit of kit for the right money.

Used this tripod for the first time last week for a family photo-shoot, the tripod was easy to move into different positions including landscape to portrait and different heights for Children, the resulting photographs had no movement blur. The Tripod collapses into a very handy size, one of the tripod legs has a rubber sleeve around the leg, this is a great idea that helps when carrying. Have not used the mono pod feature, but this converts easily with the attachments supplied, these all fit neatly into the supplied case. also looks good! would recommend this tripod.

Really excellent, sturdy product. Very happy with it, especially at this price. The ball head is incredibly versatile. Quick release simple to use, and solid. The whole package is compact and fits in a cabin suitcase.

Very good.

Excellent product excellent price . Love it

This is a good quality tripod with a really smooth ball head that would be an excellent choice if you are less than 64" tall. If you are taller than this, like me, then you will need to extend the final leg section and that's when the tripod begins to flex and it's just not quite stable enough to take a large dSLR with a large lens, hence me rating this with three stars - if that final section was thicker or if the other tubes were slightly longer so the final section wouldn't be needed, then I would give it five stars.

Great, works very well !

THANK YOU

Really good quality. And nice looking to.

Okay, I'm going to break down this review:PACKAGING-Comes in a nice fitted box with nice branding - win-Tripod comes in a zipper carry bag (YES with a shoulder strap attachment) - win-Tripod itself comes wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent damage - win-Tripod Head comes wrapped in a soft cloth pouch to prevent scratches - winBUILD and FUNCTION-All of the parts on this tripod are metal, minus the twist locks of course - win-Tripod is quite hefty (this is a daily workhorse tripod) - win-Ball head works great! Really hefty and the knobs work smoothly - win-Panning dial runs REALLY silky smooth - win-Release Plate has liquid leveller and there is room to access your camera's battery without having to take it off the tripod - win-Four Section extension with twist locks (twist locks also run very smooth)- win-MONOPOD feature is very user friendly. You simply unscrew the head, detach the specified leg, remove the middle column, and connect the two with a screw joint (included in the kit) - win-Has a hook for attaching extra weight - winVALUE-At a little over a hundred dollars, this is a no-brainer. The hefty built on this tripod, plus the monopod feature, plus it comes with a really nice ball head with a smooth panning competes with high end tripods priced around $300-$400 at least.RECOMMENDATION-This tripod is a WIN! It is packed with features and is built like a tank. It is a workhorse tripod. The nice packaging is also a nice bonus!
