For the price, a good deal November 16, 2008
Daniel P. Wright (Plano, Texas United States)
Product arrived neatly packed. I was pleased with it. It is very versatile and can be extended to a great heighth. The only thing that detracts is the tighening bolt for the main camera platform. It can't be locked down as tight as I would want. This allows it to slip if much force is put on it, so you have to be careful when using it to keep the camera in place or to not strip out the bolt when tightening. You just have to remember that it can only be snugged up so much and that's it. Otherwise I'm very pleased with this unit.
 Good value for the money !! Opteka 70" November 9, 2008
It does everything I needed. It turns every way I needed. It's not heavy and at the same time it's pretty stable and well built tripod. I would recommend it!
Great Tripod November 2, 2008

This is ruly a Great tripod, although I had another tripod, it is no where near this quailty. I needed another better tripod and have found it in this one. The seller is Great.
 For beginners.... October 31, 2008
Misha (Orange County, CA, USA)
I really wanted to write a good review for this item but I can not. When I received tripod I was very excited and used it for few times before we went to Grand Canyon. And then my disappointment has started.
A tripod got loose after few uses, you can't screw tight the head of the tripod, so if you are using heavier camera this can be real worry. The worst thing is that the top of the tripod can't be locked once you set the target. It always moves few millimiters. If you are shooting details this is unacceptable. Another thing: it's very difficult to follow up subject without unscrewing all bolts which makes whole head of the tripod loose and until you put everything together your great pictures is gone.
If you are occasional photographer and you need tripod only for Xmas to take a family picture this is a great deal for you. If you want something more.... add few more bucks and go for something better.
 Decent tripod for the price. October 1, 2008
Dmitriy Yegorov (San Diego, CA USA)
Although it has nothing to do with the word "professional", it IS a decent tripod for the price it is sold. Could be a good tripod just to try, in case you are a beginner and don't really know what you want from it.
