Customer Review: Perfect for the casual photographer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a Nikon D90 and was looking for an inexpensive lightweight tripod to use on occasion. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it since I really didn't "need" one, it was just another toy. Well this tripod is PERFECT. My husband didn't believe me when I told him the price until he looked at the invoice. What do I love about it?
1) Highly adjustable - can range in height from just a foot or two to over 5 feet high.
2) Levels - there are TWO levels to make sure you're getting the perfect shot
3) Quick Release - once your camera is screwed in, there's a quick release tab so you can get your camera off the tripod without unscrewing it.
4) Weighting hook - small hook underneath so you can weight the tripod to make it more sturdy
5) Fully adjustable - go up and down, tilt the camera, adjust one leg but not the others...you can capture pretty much any height or angle.
6) Well made - for this low price you'd expect some shoddy construction, but this tripod feels incredibly well made and secure.
All in all, if you're looking for an inexpensive alternative, this is most definitely the tripod for you!
Customer Review: Perfect light duty tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an ideal tripod for home & light outdoor use. It is NOT a cheap tripod, it's a very good inexpensive tripod. This product was designed beautifully with features other far more expensive tripods don't have. It appears to me that if handled gently it will serve my needs for many years. The construction is not that of a $150. unit, but neither is its price. The legs are sturdy aluminum, but the joints are plastic & deserve careful handling. This allows for its exceptionally light weight.
The two less than positive points I've found are:
#1 - The fact that there is only one quick release mount included with it. This won't be an issue if you only use one camera. Actually for a single camera, that is a positive feature, since you can go from handheld to tripod very quickly. When using two cameras you'll have to move the quick release from one camera to the other, in order to engage it to the tripod.
#2 - The crank that elevates the camera up or down is not held in place. A simple set screw would have been good here to prevent it from sliding out.
All-in-all I definitely feel this product deserves a 5 star rating.
Customer Review: Decent tripod, outstanding price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Like others have said, this tripod isn't built like a tank. It isn't designed for your trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro. It isn't designed to replace a Steadicam harness. It isn't designed to be thrown around. Period.
However it *is* designed for you to set up in the back of a room for a school play. It's designed for you to put on a sidewalk for a parade. This tripod is designed for a casual user who wants their video or pictures to be less shaky. And when you keep that in mind, this tripod is great.
If you've ever used a tripod before, there's nothing at all mysterious about this one. It sets up in under a minute, and the locks keep everything in place. There is a quick release plate, and the quality is... well... about what you should expect to get from a tripod that costs about the same as a decent UV filter. I probably wouldn't trust it with a heavy pro-grade camcorder, but it's fine for any current generation consumer camcorder.
The tripod itself is very light and breaks down smaller than just about any tripod I've used. As long as your needs are reasonable, this tripod is a great value.
Customer Review: Prefect Tripod for a first time user
Summary: 5 Stars
Digital Concepts TR-60N Camera Tripod is a perfect tripod for me, a first time user. We are fond of taking lot of outdoor pictures & videos during our trips to various trials (Moderate, Difficult), Mountains, Beaches, State Parks & crowded tourist places. To take the pictures & videos more steady and also to take our own pictures, we needed a tripod that is easy to carry and also something that can be set up fast. TR-60N proved to match the exact tripod that we were looking to own.
Pros
#1. Tripod is easy to set in less than a minute which makes taking photos/videos turnaround time faster
#2. It stands perfectly on any terrain and adjusts itself well
#3. Its carry bag is a plus and is very easy to carry.
#4. Has two bubbles giving more flexibility to adjust
#5. Light but strong enough for a Cannon point n shoot camera and Song DVD Camcorder
Customer Review: Too good for its price
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my friends suggested this to me. I just wanted a tripod that does decent job with a digital camera. I even wanted to use it for my camcorder too. Yes, this tripod is not for the camcorder, if you expect smooth movement. But it still does enough to take good videos. The material used is cheap, but the features it came with are pleasing especially for the <$20 price. The extra things I found were 1) A properly positioned handle, 2) Two bubble levellers, 3) Adjustable rubber feet and 4) Extra cushion on the legs. Impresseive! Also it came with the free carrying case. Yes, I agree you may need to be careful while transporting it since the material doesn't look very strong. But I wouldn't expect anything more for its price. If you feel that you are risking your expensive camera/camcorder I am sure you would go for an expensive and stirdy one.
