when i contacted ace photo digital, i was informed that i would have to pay for shipping to send it back.pay shipping for their mistake. i ordered a tripod a few weks ago. when i recieved my package i was surprised to find a different tripod than the one pictured here. unfortunately i would be paying as much in shipping as i originaly payed for the tripod. so it looks like im stuck with the wrong product.
it took a little bit to figure out what all the little knobs do, but I'm was thankful for so many adjusting options.
If you can afford it step up to something that will last. The next one I was responsible for.
I used it with a Canon XSi. It is very light (flimsy) but has great features for a cheap tripod.
I bought this about two years ago and it was a great deal.or so I thought. Mine actually cracked (the first time)sometime during a move and setting it up.
The main problem is that the metal screws on the adjustment pegs tear this thing to peices. If you slightly turn one too far it will split the plastic in half.
Just very cheaply made and thats what I expected for the money. Hope this helps.
I bought this because of the low price. so I am OK with a few modifications. Also, the feet on the legs are not connected very well.
The only problems I had were with the tilt joint. I think it's worth the price. I wasn't disappointed by the product at all.
I put some super glue on them to ensure they never come out of the aluminum legs. It had some plastic mold left overs that got in the way, keeping it from laying perfectly level. I took a piece of sand paper to it, and it works perfectly now.
I am pretty good with repairs, construction, etc. If you need something to work straight out of the box, you might want a higher quality.
Also the panning is not very fluid, but rather jerky. The build quality is super cheap but so was the price, so it's worth it right. Yes I know this is a $10 tripod, what do you expect. Only if you are VERY careful pulling the legs out. This is a very delicate tripod and one that breaks very easily. I didn't expect the leg to come off, and then the buckle, and then another leg. So ask yourself, do you really want to trust the safety of your $1000 DSLR to a flimsy tripod.
