After researching numerous tripods the best ones out there are beyond my price range. One's with carbon fiber is over excess of $300. I am not a pro photographer warranting me to spend such amount. I didn't want to purchase flimsy or really cheap tripod from local mega stores either . A friend of mine recommended this from his experience and he is happy with it however I never used it before I purchased it. Amazon has a good return policy so I decided it give it a try. I used enduro tripod for my night shots for last two weeks. Check out my night shots gallery.me.com/macwizz . It's easier to use and carry it comes in a case it only weighs about 5lbs with case. Set up easier and it extend to 60". Ball head release is much easier to tilt or pan the camera. I am happy with it.

I have been doing photography for a while and now I am entering a more advanced phase in photography... since I got laid off like a lot of people this year I wanted to supplement my income doing photography... so, when getting a tripod i had to decide; do I buy a cheap heavy one, do I buy a nice lightweight one and have to skip a few meals? Well I did some research and it seemed like all the research led me to the Induro Tripod because it was not as expensive and it included the ball head for which you need to fork more money. So, I took the chance and bought it. I am completely satisfied with this product... perfect balance of cost and quality... Sure if I had the money I probably would have gone for a fancier one but after getting this one... I no longer dream of having a great tripod. Well constructed and covers all my needs. The only thing that was a bit frustrating (at first) was getting it back in the bag... If you remove the ball head before putting it in then there is no problem... Give this tripod a try most likely you will find that you made a good choice.

This tripod is as solid as you could ask for without mortgaging the house in order to buy a "Professional Grade" tripod. While not carbon-fiber it is still light enough to carry (unless you are a hiker or will be carrying all day). As a serious amateur I couldn't ask for more. The ball-head is solid and easy to use and the 60"+ height was a must for me. Great product!!

I purchased this tripod after much research and it has proven to be a good purchase. I primarily compared it with a similar Manfrotto tripod that my son uses. Don't get me wrong as Manfrotto is an excellent brand but this tripod comes with a good quality ball mount and a quality carrying case in the form of a kit. Manfrotto doesn't provide those features in a value priced package so this is a good value for the price. For those reasons, I think this is a hard product to beat in this price range.

This Tripod Stands out with the best. It is light, durable, and very well built. Induro is a fairly new company that is building a reputation for themselves. As soon as they have established themselves, Their Tripods are bound to go up in price. Better get them while they are hot.
