Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently moved from the UK to Wyoming, USA I was taken aback by the quality of the night skies here and this has reignited my love of astronomy.
I was looking for a tripod to use with some Celestron binoculars I was buying at the same time from Amazon, and was not disappointed with this unit, (or the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars for that matter).
The tripod is very well made, sturdy and lightweight, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it It also comes with an attachment with a quick release mechanism that means that you can easily swap what you are mounting, (in my case I can swap between mounting my binoculars and digital camera in a few seconds.)
If using this stand with binoculars for star gazing you will be very glad of the tall height this tripod extends to making finding a comfortable position to use your binoculars with this tripod a breeze.
For the price, it's outstanding value.
Digital camera Review: Excellent value, a little complicated to use

Firstly, the shipping was super-fast, I ordered this item on the 16th and it arrived on the 18th! I initially bought this tripod from circuit city (labeled there as the Sunpak 6464) for almost $55. Although I loved the tripod over my older and flimsier Samsonite, I still felt it was over priced, but once I saw this tripod on Amazon for half price and I realized its the same tripod with a different model number. So I immediately bought it. The tripod has some nice features:
Pros:
1. Two quick release plates
2. Bubble levels on plate and body
3. Versatile height adjustment, pan and tilt controls
4. Quite sturdy (for medium DSLRs, won't be effective for large telephotos)
5. Includes weight hook
6. Includes carrying handle.
Cons:
1. Quick release plate isn't small enough to leave attached on the camera.
2. No easy way to secure the legs together when the tripod is folded.
3. Carrying handle not well positioned.
Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I recommend this tripod for any amateur to semi professional users.
Digital camera Review: Feels cheap and lightweight, but is ideal for indoor use.

I am a photographer/graphic designer/ad designer. Having a need for a solid, feature-laden tripod like the Quantaray QSX-9500, I ordered this one by sheer mistake.
Upon its arrival, I realized my gaffe... but then realized, why haul one gigantic tripod all over the place when I can have the big fancy one for outdoor excursions; keep a smaller one indoors for product shots? It's only money...
For outdoor use, a whisper of a wind would topple this thing over. (Why else is that hook included? And do I even want to ask, what with all the meat packing plants and licensed proctologists working in this city?)
But for indoor use, there's not an angle it can't cover AND it's more compact in size. Especially for the compact size, it's a winner.
Digital camera Review: Fine product

This is a very good tripod. I have a Canon 35mm SLR with 4 lenses, and a Nikon DSLR with 2 lenses(no lenses over 1 1/2 pounds) It is steady and solid with both cameras. I've used it indoors and out (dirt and sand) and in breezy weather. Not sure how it would do in a hurricane, but personally I don't want to find out. It does the job for me.
