Customer Reviews

Made of cheap plastic; arrived with 3 broken parts2008-03-01
I received this tripod as a gift. It has been a while since I have seen such a flimsy product as this. It is made of low quality plastic and very thin aluminum. On top of all that, it arrived with 3 broken pieces. I would not buy this for any amount.
great service2006-08-11
I would have done this sooner but we have a some family emergencies come up and I haven't done it. I got my item fast and with no problem. The tri-pod was in wonderful condition and the price was great!
Paid $13 - Worth $132006-02-24
I guess all the budget tripods are probably similar. I was a bit disappointed by how cheaply made the tripod is. It's just a bunch of plastic which makes me worried about bending a leg or snapping off a cheap joint.

But it does do the job. It's too light to be very steady, but it holds your camera and allows you stability in the absence of wind. It has a hood on the bottom from which you can tie a bag of rocks for extra stability. And it comes with two quick-change plates - a nice feature for such a budget item.
Great P&S Tripod2005-11-18
This tripod is very good. The only one bad thing I can think of is all the plastic. The knobs and crank are all plastic, giving this tripod a cheap feeling.
Good quality and value for the price2005-10-11
This is a good basic tripod. Much sturdier than many others I've seen in this price range. Smooth controls. Very easy to use and easy for our children (ages 10 and 13) to use with the digital camcorder. Comes with two parts to connect the camera to the stand, so you can pre-attach the connections to two different items (e.g., a camcorder and a camera) and quickly attach and detach each to the tripod as needed. The level works OK, but is not positioned as clearly and is not as large as higher end (and higher priced) tripods (e.g., Bogen). Overall, a good value for the price.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
