Less than adequate quality [Posted on 2007-06-13]
Mine lasted about 4 months before the pot-metal nut embedded in the pan head stripped and the handle came off in my hand.
Flimsy but usable [Posted on 2007-10-16]
I bought several of these tripods for my research group. I stick small firewire cameras on them in lab. The tripods are nice because they are very close to the ground, but the construction makes them a bit wobbly and annoying to setup. I don't know of any better alternatives.
All in all, they serve there function -- the telescoping works and the height has enough adjustability to make them useful.
As advertised [Posted on 2007-10-18]
The only caveat I have is that the footprint of the legs is very small (especially when fully retracted), so if you've got a long lens on a camera, you do risk the tripod toppling over if you don't take care to extend one of the feet along the same line as the camera is facing.
The adjustments are smooth and tight, and overall there's a feeling of quality I didn't expect in this price. I bought the tripod for a one-time special need, and ended up putting it in my gear bag as a generally useful tool.
Little size, big performance [Posted on 2008-01-07]
I have an aluminium tripod with standard size and bubble level and the difference with the mini-Pro Plus is the size. Excellent to use with telephoto lens or macro photos. If your camera don't have image stabilizer, you can use this mini tripod to reduce the camera tip-over. The center leg has a suction cup mount that It can be adhere on surfaces like glass.
general purpose shortie tripod [Posted on 2008-06-07]
I don't use it much but when you need one, you really need it. This one looks reasonably well made but lacks stability with a large DSLR such as the Nikon D200 with the 18-200 lens in place. Lots of features at a very reasonable price. Best suited to light duty.
