Best bang for the buck by far
Just tried out four <$30 tripods and this one wins easily. Best build quality for one thing - it looks and feels good, like it was designed to look good instead of as cheap as possible. Extruded aluminum legs with sturdy plastic locks and tabs. Rubber feet as well on pivots, so they actually sit on a surface fully. Great feel as it swings side to side as well as up and down. Smooth and clean, almost as if it has bearings like a very expensive tripod. Solid lock-in-place feel, you know the camera is staying where you position it. Every pivot and tilt point feels good and locks solid. Quick-release pad is nice addition adding value to a very inexpensive tripod. Honestly, this is the best tripod I've owned since a nearly $100 one back in the eighties. I'm even thinking about getting a couple as gifts this Christmas. Read more
