Pros: You can setup and breakdown this tripod in seconds (all quick-lock legs, very light), it's very light, so if you're lugging it around downtown for an afternoon, you'll be thankful you have this.
Cons: Joints aren't extraordinarily smooth, and have a tendency to stick a little. The camera base tilt adjust sits at about -10deg when not tight, instead of a flat 0deg or 90deg (for landscape or portrait). Heavier kits will make the tripod pretty unstable (I'm not keen on putting my 70-200mm L with my Rebel XT on it).
Overall, it's a decent portability-focused tripod, for use when you just want to run out, setup and shoot. In that sense, it serves as a decent second or third tripod, but definitely not a primary.
 This is a piece of junk, don't buy it. February 23, 2006

First, let me say that I bought a Canon Optura 50 miniDV camera and have been absolutely thrilled by it. It surpassed everything I was hoping for in a miniDV camera.
That's why I bought this tripod: I figured if it worked like the camera it would be a great combo.
The guy at the camera store warned me there was a lot of plastic on this tripod and suggested getting a different brand, but I didn't take his advice.
Sure enough, the very first time using the tripod a tiny little piece on one of the plastic snaps that keeps the legs achored to the center pole broke, allowing the leg to flop around freely with no bracing.
The break is one of those places that plastic shouldn't have been used it all. It was all very aggravating: an otherwise great tripod rendered useless by broken sliver of plastic. That was really poor design on Canon's part.
When I take it back tomorrow, I'm definitely going to heed the camera guy's advice.

I liked the light weight and how it deployed so quickly. Took many nice shots with it, but it didn't take long for the tripod to break. It's definitely not recommended for use as a primary tripod.
 THIS IS A $40.00 TRIPOD... April 23, 2007

After reading some of the negative reviews on this tripod I had to point out the obvious. It is a $40.00 Canon Deluxe not a $600.00 Gitzo Mountaineer. For $40.00 this tripod actually exceeded my expectations in terms of quality, build, and performance. Remember now...I'm speaking as a consumer that spent $40.00.
Another issue that seems to have other reviewers troubled is the amount of plastic that is on this unit. This is because Canon has designed it to be light-weight (2.65 lbs). Again, for $40.00 what can you expect...perfectly balanced feather-weight alloy? Of course a tripod in this class is going to wear some plastic.
The tripod itself can extend up to 59 1/3 inches (1,507mm), has a water level, quick shoe release, and elevator type extension. Mine also came with a Canon carrying case.
I have owned and used this tripod for over a year and am completely satisfied with it. I've had no problems with the tripod head tilting (shooting primarily with a Rebel XTi and the EF 28-135mm lens) or plastic breaking. Fine tripod for $40.00.
Very flimsy don't buy it January 31, 2007

I also have a problem with the base of the tripod head. It doesn't sit level at 0 degree when not tightened and it's impossible to tighten it.
I have a Canon 20D with a 16-35mm lens (considered very light) and the base cannot even support the weight such that it collapses and ends up tilting about 10 degree. It's made of cheap plastic and always loose. There is a little screw underneth the base to adjust it but it doesn't really work. You can just wobble it with little pressure by your fingers.
This tripod has brought shame to Canon. I am hoping Canon doesn't make their cameras the way they build this tripod.
