Comments about Quantaray Quantaray QSX-9002TM Tripod with Built-in Removable Monopod (Silver):

like someone else said, this is an okay tripod for starting out. but I wouldn't rely on this for everything, especially with a heavier camera or heavier/long lens. I am able to use my Canon 40D on this sometimes, which is somewhat heavy. I don't trust it at its highest height though. this would be better suited to a really light slr or a point and shoot.

Comments about Quantaray Quantaray QSX-9002TM Tripod with Built-in Removable Monopod (Silver):

If you put a decent Digital SLR with a Lens on this it will not hold it steady. Don't buy this pay more for something that will work! I did find a use for this tripod, I rigged it to hold a remote flash.

Comments about Quantaray Quantaray QSX-9002TM Tripod with Built-in Removable Monopod (Silver):

This is a decent tripod to start out with. It'll hold a fair amount of weight steady even when extended and packs to a not entirely unmanageable size. The drawback of this tripod-head is that it is good only for fixed photography. This tripod-head combo doesn't pan well because the resistance on different axii is unequal. The construction is also on the poor side with plastic knobs in stress bearing locations. This is a good tripod to start out with before upgrading to something better if required. If all you'll ever take are panorama and portrait type pictures, you'll be ok, if you want to follow a soccer player though, you'll want something better soon.

I purchased another brand and found out the second time using it that it wasn't built very well, It broke. I purchased this and it has been great to add to my equipment and plan to buy a second one.

Comments about Quantaray Quantaray QSX-9002TM Tripod with Built-in Removable Monopod (Silver):

I bought this as my very first tripod. It was great for my light camera at first... but soon after the handle stripped out and I'm now unable to tighten and lock the plate to hold my camera. I took it in to Inkleys where I bought it and unfortunately they said they couldn't fix it. Now a completely useless piece of equipment. It was cheap and its no surprise that it broke so early. Maybe two years after I bought it. Save up a little more and get a more reliable tripod, I wish I would have.
