 Great lightweight travel tripod July 7, 2008
This tripod was exactly as advertised: light weight, inexpensive and easy to carry.
great for the price April 12, 2008
Considering the price, it's a great little tripod. I bought it to take pictures in dimly lit churches and caves in Italy, where I won't have access to an appropriate surface to use a table-top tripod. The tripod serves the purpose for which it was designed - an inexpensive, compact piece of equipment that's good in a pinch. It's probably unsafe in windy conditions and certainly can't be used to hold a camera with a heavy lens, but it wasn't designed for this.
One complaint: it's tricky to get the legs extended all the way. Vanguard arguably could have paid more attention to this aspect. But for the price, I can't complain too much.
 not for the professional February 10, 2008

it's quite portable and light and can fulfill the needs of a normal user, but with a lot of sacrifices. the locking mechanism of the legs are kinda flimsy, the legs actually locked only when they are fully extended. no level bubble meter.
excellent tripod January 24, 2008
this is an excellent tripod for traveling, or anywhere. Small, lite weight, and expands to good size.
 Great for on the go September 6, 2007
