Have this tripod for about 4 to 6 months and it was still in the box until today went to tighten vertical handle and was striped out so never got to use it. Can't take it back because do not have the receipt anymore. Guess I'll just get rid of it and buy something more reliable. 10 years ago got a no name for less than half the price and just got rid of it because a leg got bent. It was great.

Fantastic tripod for the price. Very stable. Heavy duty construction (this is actually also the negative). The purchasers who complained that they broke it apparently drive cars over all their new tripods. This is a Midrange tripod usewise. It is too heavy to lug around backpacking and you dont want to use it as a High end studio tripod. But to carry in your car and pop out when you need it a great tripod.

I have only found one real draw back to this item... The "head" bolt came loose and was tightened several times. I found after I had placed Lock-Tight on the bolt threads the tripod has been one of the best I have owned. Also, one of the handles to the head stick out when floded up... Cumbersome to deal with, but you will get used to it... Great for entry level to moderate use photographers.

Just bought one and took it out for a test. Just 10 minutes of use, one leg just slipped out. Gonna bring it back to Wolf Camera. Extremely not satisfied.

This thing is a real peice of garbage. The quick release does not fit snug creating a lot of movement when using. Don't buy this tripod not steady at all, and the twist locks are a real pain.

I bought this tripod from the local Ritz camera shop, took it out to the park a block away, and within ONE HOUR the leg tightening bolt snapped off and the horizontal hold lever was stripped. Absolutely useless. I'll be taking it back in the morning.

I love it that I can attach it with seconds to the base the base fits the bottom of my Cannon XTi just perfectly and I can mount and shoot in seconds ..

I bought this from the local Ritz and have owned it less than 3 months and one of the screws has already broken and has become stripped and can't be fixed. [$] Junk.

I have four of these that we use for creating student-made movies. They have several features that make them extremely versatile for filming in awkward places and angles, such as castle windows.
