Good Mid-Weight tripod

The Velbon DF 60 is a good mid-weight stand for the money. The material and moving parts have proved appropriate. Light weight, but durable.

great

it's plastic.However quite stable.I'm considering a 70-200 IS F2.8/L,so wait and see if it can carry it.However,I think it will work perfectly until you put some huge stuffs such as 1Ds Mark3 plus a 400 4/L...very satisfied.

light, good options for an absolute novice

I really like this thing. It's light enough and feels sturdy enough for a small camera, even possibly a video camera. Then again, I'm a novice so take this review with a grain of salt.

Steady

This thing is very steady, however there is one thing I don't like about is that the level trigger thing in the middle is very annoying. When I roll it to the high level it cannot handle heavy camera to hold on to it. I wish there is a lock button to hold it.

Excellent Tripod

I'm a novice in the photography dept., so I wanted to start out with a tripod that's user friendly, well made, yet affordable. I purchased one for taking pictures on ebay. Adjusting the height is no problem, and the quick release attachment is a pleasure to use with my Sony Cybershot. I found...

Good basic tripod

This is my first tripod, and it seems to be a good one for the money. Very flexible in terms of setup and it is plenty sturdy. The balancing screws on the feet are nice. Easy to set up and easy to carry.

Excellent tripod at excellent price

Like some of the other reviewers, I was a little skeptical about this tripod. Not only because I haven't heard of this brand before but for the price.. I didn't think I could find such a nice tripod at this price range. I'm not a professional but you don't need to be one to recognize when...

Certainly not light weight!

I bought this tripod for my boyfriend and from the description, I thought it was a professioanl, lightweight tripod. However, this thing is very big, bulky, & heavy! I'm sure it could be used professionally but certainly not for the regular digital camera that most consumers have. It does have...

So far, so good.

I haven't use this too much, yet, but so far so good. It's all hard plastic, so it could obviously be stronger and more durable, but... for the price it's a no-brainer. 4 stars.

Value for money

The build is rather light but it doesn't compromise on stability or sturdiness. Not the handiest equipment to carry around (doesn't ship with a bag) but a good starter tripod, nonetheless. The max height comes in very handy for portrait shots. (Complement it with a smaller tripod such as a...
