Review a nice 100$ tripod

Matt is this good for a long exposure landscape just in case for a windy situation?

[thatnikonguy]

@quintano20 It is extremely rigid and stable. For any usual DSLR kit - it will be perfect. if you are using a very heavy kit - like medium format - you may want something heavier.

$800 on Amazon.com

I'll pass.

[alexpirpiris]

I'll stick with my $70 velbon.

hmmm, there are plenty of very good name brand tripods out there for $100 to $200 like manfrotto, giottos, induro, benro.i know a friend who has had a manfrotto for years and it still preforms pretty good.

Wow! That's £577 (nearly AUD$900) here in the UK. As beautiful as it is I think I'll leave this one on the shelf!

@hoddo1812 yeah mate, premium materials design and precision manufacturing equals premium price! Not cheap, but price/quality value Is still there, id say better value than a tacky $50 no name one.

Hey Matt you said overseas. So where are you going??

[Nandooo93]

£663...

[hoddo1812]

Cheers Matt. That's even more impressive for this tripod. From 30cm to around 6 feet, compact, light weight, sturdy...very good.

With the legs fully extended how solid are the legs and is there much bowing of the legs when you place a heavy bag on the column end?

Thanks once again.

[thatnikonguy]

@hoddo1812 mate, honestly, it is the nicest, sturdiest and most rigid tripod I have tried out in this size range. Some of the super huge and heavy ones are more stable, but this is phenomenal.

[hoddo1812]

Thanks Matt, a good insight into the gitzo. One question, to understand how high the tripod can extend to, how tall are you?

[thatnikonguy]

@hoddo1812 I am a GIANT! :) I am about a inch short of 6 foot.

[AlvaroVonKunstler]

That's a sweet tripods and the lens too!
