 Thought it was good .. Doesn't Hold Up Over Time July 30, 2008

Bought December 20th 2007. Seemed like a decent enough tripod at the time.
But now it's pretty much unusable. The gray crank wheel has broken off,
so it's hard to raise and lower. Also, one of the metal supports for
one leg had broken off from the center. So even though it has some
solid construction, there are indeed some weak parts, that after time
are likely to fail.

For a modest sum, this is a huge upgrade from my tripod it replaces; however, having said that, I cannot give it a 5-star review. The head and the quick-release camera plate are plastic. There is only so much you can do to tighten things down. If I need to shoot hand-released shots (say, for bracketed exposures beyond the +2, -2 that my Canon 20D will shoot automatically), the camera can be the slightest bit squizzy. I can either be very careful, or work-around with time-release, mirror lock-up, etc.. Next time I upgrade, I'm going to go into a store and look at, say, the Bogen/Manfrotto.

A Great tripod for such a low price.
I am not an expert but it serves its function.
The only negative aspect is that there is a tendency for the camera to drop down when i am not holding it. I dont know if this is user error or a problem with the tripod but overall I am happy with it.

Opteka 70" Full Size Professional Photo / Video Tripod
This tripod is simple to use and very lightweight. Great for photography/videography on the go. Has a level, feet are adjustable(not flat they swivel and tilt as needed) to have your tripod sit level. Would highly recommend.
