 I am very happy with this tripod! August 21, 2007

The photo for this product is wrong, it shows the ball head version.
I purchased this tripod back in April and I have used it several times before writing this review. I shot a bunch of table top macro shots with the camera suspended underneath as well as on top. I've also used it for macro shots of flowers outside my house with legs fully collapsed and extended one or two segments. This model is the three way pan head and you get two quick release heads. The legs are twist-lock just like my monopod/walking sticks. I no longer trust plastic flip locks. Those always break, it's just a matter of time. The independent movement of the legs is so much nicer than legs connected by a folding brace. It's nice for uneven terrain but it is also great for getting the camera really close to the subject on macro shots. The angle that the legs unfold can also be increased by turning a rotating piece on the top of one or more legs.
I pulled it out again today to take table top macro shots of a new toy and decided I would share how pleased I am with the tripod and the Sunpak 620-761 Non-Branded Carrying Case for UT Series Tripods that I purchased with the 4300. I didn't want to spend more than $60 on a tripod but I also didn't want a piece of junk. This is a solid piece of equipment for the money. Unless you must use fancy heads or you need to support something really heavy, there is no reason to spend more on a tripod.
Quality Tripod November 3, 2007

I don't have any current experience with tripods, and when I purchased this tripod I went by reviews. There was only one written for this one at the time, but it seemed to trump all the others... especially for the price. The tripod is very sturdy. I like the quick release. I leave one attached to the camera (Nikon D40X) and I'll probably attach the second to my camcorder (the tripod comes with two). I'm not sure if I just have to break it in or not, but the lock for the quick release is a little hard to lock and unlock (Not really a big deal). The pan and tilt seem to be smooth, but like I said I don't have any experience with any others so I have nothing to compare it to. The legs are easily adjustable as is the center column height adjustment. The legs are padded and seem very durable. This tripod is easy to use and seems to be good quality. I would definitely recommend it.

I ordered this tripod and when it came I was so disappointed that I sent it back immediately. The neoprene made my hands itch. It wasn't level when I put my camera on it. It angered me so much that I bought a carbon fiber tripod and magnesium head from the good people at Slik in the same hour. Although it was of poor quality for my use I would still say it would be good for someone who is just starting out in photography. I give it a low rating partly because I was being cheap and I should have went for the carbon fiber in the first place.
