Digital camera reviews of Velbon El Carmagne 530 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Pan Head and Case
Digital camera Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tripod that matches excellent design and functionality with great form. It's sturdy and provides superb options for all situations. It is the best I've seen for the price and easily supports several of my cameras without issue.Digital camera Review: Velbon 530 Tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
This tripod is light and easy to use. The camera must be screwed onto the base. There is no quick release or shoe. A lever on the thumb screw helps to release or to put that extra twist on the shoe screw. The overall height is excellent. The legs can be made to extend out to provide a very low setting. Markers on the legs allow the user to extend each leg to the same length. The only thing missing, that I wish this unit had is a bubble level. I will have to add my own. A bubble level is needed when doing multiple panning shots that you wish to stitch together. In some of my shots, horizontal lines are on a slight angle. I think a bubble level would eliminate this. All in all a very good unit for the money. Digital camera Review: Everything I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I had foolishly bought a couple of cheap tripods and they actually worked. My camera (Canon EOS Rebel XT) did not fall on the ground. But when I went to a 75-300 lens and Speedlight 430EX external mflash, it got shaky. Bit the bullet and got a really good one. Carbon Fiber legs, Magnesium Pan Head. It's actually lighter than the old cheap ones and I really would not hesitate to put an 8X10 view camera with a long lens on it. Solid as a rock, set-up and teardown very quick with the snap-locks, Pan-head smooth as silk. Everything I hoped for when I bought it and even more. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Best tripod I have ever seen.

The tripod is very light and easy to use. With this tripod, you do not need a monopod.Digital camera Review: Extremely stable
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tripod. It is extremely stable. At first I got it for my canon camera, but now use it for my rather large video camera and it works great with that too. It is not extremely light. But I still attach it to my backpack and lug it along. Nice to have. Motion is smooth and locks work great. Comes with a holster that I don't use.
