Product Review

About this Targus tripod... it's a good deal, if you can get it for $10. Why? It has two extensions beyond its standard height and I would only cautiously recommend extending this only once, but not fully extended. This model is designed to extend up to 4'. Once you take it out of the box--nicely packaged, btw-- you discover that the tripod "feet" have three (3) "secure" locks which keeps the two remaining extensions firmly in place. The problem is, if you attempt to use the lower legs (forgive that description) it is very, very flimsy. It looks like that fold-out toy you got when you were a kid and if you played too hard with it the legs would bend and you could never get it back to its original position. It's that flimsy.

This tripod is wonderful! It's heavy duty and supports our classroom's semi-professional video equipment. The only problem we have had will be the rubber deal with on 1 arm came off. We'll need to have to glue it back on, I guess. I haven't contacted the seller. So, I can't say if they would take care of the problem or not. (Review More...)

Product Review

This tiny tripod has proved to be really useful. First, as a result of its size, it really is completely portable, fitting into the side pocket of camera bag. It has allowed me to setup stable shots even when visiting locations where carrying a full-size tripod just isn't feasible or at least not handy. I also use my digital video camera to shoot nonetheless photography of tiny electronic components. This mini-tripod has been great for these shots, as it allows the camera to nonetheless be very close up to the subject and but still mounted on a stable surface. And, trust me, when shooting such a tiny subject, any hand jitters show up each time. I undoubtedly suggest this to any person making use of digital cameras, whether or not video or nonetheless photography. It is a very handy piece of aluminum to have with you. (Read More...)

THIS TRIPOD IS Great AS Lengthy YOU DONT INTEND ON SHOOTING VERTICAL SHOTS With your CAMERA ATTACHED TO THIS TRIPOD. ITS Quite TALL More than 7 FEET. ITS RUGGED AND SOLID. IT HAS A Speedy RELEASE PLATE Using a METAL SCREW NOT Low cost PLASTIC SCREW. THE ONLY FLAW I SEE IS IT WONT Enable YOU TO TAKE VERTICAL Photos With the CAMERA ATTACHED TO IT. I OWN A NIKON D3000 Along with a NIKON D7000. WORKS FINE WITH Each CAMERAS. I ONLY GAVE IT 4 STARS Rather OF 5 Cause OF THE VERTICAL SHOOTING Issue BUT Due to THE High quality AND HEIGHT I WILL MOUNT MY CAMERA TO A BRACKET First THAT Permits ME TO SHOOT VERTICAL And then ATTACH THE BRACKET To the TRIPOD. Speedy Answer. BOWER SELLS A CAMERA BRACKET THAT ROTATES THE EXTERNAL FLASH AND CAMERA Physique FOR $30 ON AMAZON Too. Each OF THESE ARE Actually Great Merchandise. (More Detail...)

I use this to mount my older Hi8 digital camcorder for recording beach volley ball tournements and it holds up well to the robust on shore breeze. This thing is made of alumninum and is really light for its size. Its also strong, I set up a Nikon DSLR and hooked my bookback inside the middle of the tripod as counter weight. It was holding no less than 15lbs. You are able to point it in any direction and orient the camera how you like. big plus for me due to the fact i like to point my camera at the sky. the locking mechanisms enable you to control how tight or loose you want to have the ability to move your camera really well. in the suitable tightness, it is possible to move the camera really smoothly and it'll stay in place if you let go, but ensure its not too loose. all the tightning nuts can all be adjusted by hand too, which includes the piece that connects to the camera(ive observed some tripods that call for a screwdriver).
