This is one of those on line item purchases that flies in the face of the conventional. This tripod combo meets the need with no extravagant bells and whistles. It is well designed and engineered from the weight of materials to the quite acceptable fit and finish for the price. I will actually smile incessantly using this combo.

This thing really surprised me for the price. You can tell it's cheaply made (with thin aluminum tubes and cheap plastic latches) but it IS CHEAP! and that's whats great about it. It's really easy to work with. If you're going to use it every day you might want something more sturdy, but for an amateur it's sweet.

This product is really nice for the price. I just needed a decent tripod for a 3 week trip so I didn't want to spend too much money, but wanted something still nice. I really like the travel bag and how when the tripod is not inside, the tripod section can be folded up and stored under the velcro flap making it less bulky. The actual tripod is better than expected and even works with my Canon D SLR Rebel XTi. It is very light weight which is great for traveling, but it can be a little wobbly when moving so take care when adjusting it so that it doesn't fall over if you have a heavy camera on it. It works great with my Nikon Coolpix S7c also. The mini tripod in the handle is best for smaller cameras, but still a nice addition for certain shots. I also like the flip locks for extending the legs instead of twisting locks. Overall this product is worth the price and more.

I was amazed to see so many features put into this tripod. The product quality looks good too, but its base is not as strong as it should have been. When I need low shutter speeds, I always use a timer with this tripod. But it is quite effective and very good for the price it has been offered for.
I hate paying half its original price for shipping though!

This product met my expectations. The carrying case is a nice bonus and I like that the little tripod is stored within the larger tripod. This meets my needs.
