5 out of 5 stars FOR THE LOW PRICE..........2005-04-07

...this is an outstanding little tripod. We have two. I use it with a pretty large digital camera and it balances the camera just fine. My husband uses it with fine results for his shirt-pocket sized camera. The tripod is light enough to hoist over my shoulder for treks into the mountains, but heavy enough to be steady for finicky closeups.

The quick release is sometimes a little fussy about popping back on, but it is a quick _release_ (and it works very well at that), not a quick "snap on". The legs have been no trouble, at all. It helps that I trained myself to extend the lowest segment first, and then to move up as needed. One will need a mini-tripod because this does not go as low as you might want for some work on the ground. (True confession: I've had good luck jury-rigging the legs for shots on the ground when I haven't wanted the extra weight of a mini.)

Unless or until I decide to spend $$$$$ on fancy-schmancy equipment, this works just great for me. I've had it a while and, at the price, would have no qualms whatsoever at replacing it with the same model, if it should break -- which it shows absolutely no sign of doing.

2 out of 5 stars better than nothing.......2002-07-31

Quick release is a poor design. The plate is difficult to tighten, and even at that, slight camera movement loosens it off. The interface between plate and tripod is poor too, made of plastic, the tolerances to fit are sloppy and there is a little snap mechanism to hold the securing latch that loses tension over time, rendering it useless. As a tripod, it is very unsteady with center mast extended and lowest legs extended. If used with just the legs splayed and the camera bag looped over the legs for weight/ballast, it does a fine job, and in that respect, better than nothing. All locks work well with the exception of the plate latch/lock which is the most important one. This tripod is relegated to holding a flash for me.

Save your money and buy something more substantial.

Tripod serves it's purpose. For those of you who are just playing around with photography like I am, this tripod does the job. Built decently for what you pay for. The movement seems pretty smooth to me. The only thing I did not like were the legs. They're quite troublesome to extend and they sometimes got a little stuck. Other than that a great buy for the price.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Investment!.......2007-11-12

      I have an older Sony VAIO PCV-RX650 that will only except 2x/4x AGP cards. Searched all the big name electronics stores online, you know TigerDirect, Newegg, COMPUSA etc and could not find anything more than 12MB. Findly came to Amazon and found this fantastic HIS Radeon 256MB (128)bit) 4x AGP card.
      Textbook install. Removed old NVIDIA 32MB card, stuck in the new Radeon card, put the housing back together and fired it up. Installing drivers my system being older said that the card was not on Microsofts (HCL), Hardware Compatibility List but any company that doesn't bow down to Microsft and give them control isn't allowed on the (HCL). Ran into the same problem a few years back with a Hawkings wireless adaptor and it worked fine just like this Graphics card has since installation.
      Even without the $20 MIR it is a great investment for me, if I get the $20 bucks back great, if not no big deal.
      I am not a gamer, I just wanted it to speed up photo editing projects and speed up the loading of web sites that are loaded down with graphics.
      If you have an older system and main board that can only handle AGP 4x I highly recommend this card.

      5 out of 5 stars Worked perfectly!.......2007-10-09

      I purchased this graphics card so that my older Dell 4550 PC (with 4x AGP) would accomodate a new wide screen monitor with 1680*1050 resolution. The new card dropped right in and self-configured. Works great.
