Digital camera reviews of Slik Tripod with 3-Way Panhead
Digital camera Review: Low price, quality to match
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this product for free as part of a camera promotion. I wouldn't dream of using it for my camera, but I use it to hold my off-camera flash, and it works fine for that, though the head is poorly-built and wearing out quickly. I expect before long I'll have to replace the head because it will no longer lock (I'll probably just get a new tripod like this).
If you want to support a very light point and shoot camera occasionally, this might be okay. If you want to support any type of single-lens reflex (interchangeable-lens) camera, or even to use a heavier point and shoot, I'd get a better tripod. The Velbon Maxi tripods or the Bogen 3001 would be much more satisfactory (and cost more, of course).
Digital camera Review: Nice, lightweight, inexpensive
Summary: 4 Stars
The quick release levers for leg extensions are easy to use. The legs themselves slide smoothly. The only complaint is that the detachable plate doesn't lock in place, and the release lever is a little awkward to use. Other than that...a nice tripod at a great price!Digital camera Review: OK

Its lightweight, cheap. You have to develop the habit of not turning the camera when mounted as it unscrews it from the tripod.Digital camera Review: Operational height range: 58 5/8" to 59 1/2"?
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have the tripod but considering to buy one. However, the description of operational height range of 58 5/8" to 59 1/2" sounds very strange to me. If the operational height range was something like between 28 5/8" to 59 1/2" as other tripods do, then it would be good. Else, the usable height of this tripod is too limited, limted to about only one inch range as described on the Amazon web site.
I check 4-5 different web sites such as buy.com, etc., and they all indicate the same operational height range. But I still can't believe it. Can any user verify this? Thanks!
Digital camera Review: SSJones - Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Very Durable and easy to use, especially for the material it's made of. It's not metal or aluminum or anything like that, but it gets the job done. It's sturdy and definitely strong enough to support a large camera.
