| Customer Reviews:
Quality with compromise. October 24, 2008
Even though it is a compact, this is my first "real" tripod. Based on another review of the Induro AB1 I ordered it.
Pro's:
* Solidly built. Feels like quality when you pick it up.
* Relatively light and compact.
* Fully extended it is quite serviceable. A little springy but not at all flimsy. Reasonable considering that the legs are 4 sections.
* Head locks up tight. I am not at all concerned about using a heavier lens combo.
* Legs spread out almost flat for low angle shots. (makes for a wide footprint though, not suitable for table top use
* Nice carry case. Complete kit including head is nice.
Con's:
* Pan and tilt are a little hard to get used to, single ball head and tight lockup don't have any "soft" range. It's locked tight or wide open. Never EVER release the head without fully supporting the camera/lens with your other hand!
* Not super small. Only medium small.
* Price is a little high for a small tripod.
Verdict:
I'll keep it! It's plenty for me, for now. I don't feel like I bought too much or too little. Good for hiking and easy to carry around for those more critical situations where a good tripod will make a big difference but would be inconvenient if it was full size. Maybe I will invest in a separate, softer pan/tilt head next year (the head comes off).
I have nothing else to compare except what I saw in Best Buy, which ranged mostly in the cheap-and-flimsy ($35) to reasonable-but-heavy ($150) range.
