Digital camera reviews of Opteka 70" Full Size Professional Photo / Video Tripod

Digital camera Review: Great tripod
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great tripod and pretty inexpensive too. I haven't had any trouble with camera shake since I received it for Christmas. It is easy to use and goes nice and high. The built in levels allow you to get it level on any surface. And it collapses easy so it can fit in a tight space.

Digital camera Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars

While basically functional and lightweight, I returned this for a more sturdy tripod. Too much plastic in key components and a "cheap" feel to the head.

Digital camera Review: Ok tripod for the price
Summary: 3 Stars

You get what you pay for when it comes to tripods (and almost everything else). Mine broke after 8 months.

Pros
- Highly adjustable
- Crank is pretty smooth
- Built in level indicator
- Inexpensive
- Tilts vertically

Cons
- Mostly plastic
- A little light
- Can be tricky to get things perfectly level
- Hinges are small and weak

The hinges that connect the legs to the main shaft is the weak point. One of the hinges snapped on my with very moderate use.

Digital camera Review: Excellent Tripod
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this tripod for my fiance for Christmas. She has said it works great with her camera and helps her a lot.

Digital camera Review: It's ok!
Summary: 4 Stars

Well, after reading the reviews I did not expect a Home Run, but for the price paid for this tripod and having in mind that I was looking for a beginner tripod, the product is OK.

I went out (rough trip) with this tripod on my shoulder and it is very light, and it was intact after getting back to home. My only concern is some cheap plastic parts and a unbalanced head that needs to be adjusted.

If you are a casual photographer or you're looking for a home tripod, this could be your option.
