1.Digital Concepts TR-60N Camera Tripod with Carrying Case from: Sakar
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.00 You Save: $7.99 (32%) Prices subject to change.
I received the tripod and quickly saw that it was not of a very high quality construction. I had concerns of how long the grips that hold the leg extensions would hold up,and I did not like that there is a removable piece that connects the camera to the tripod head. The lock mechanism for that piece also concerned me that it may not hold up over time. I guess the tripod is functional for the price but the value may not hold up if you need to buy a replacement tripod.

I have never had a smaller camera and I figured I could just prop it up anywhere to take videos but this tripod makes it so much easier to take those shots when you want everyone in the picture, It is very stable and you can adjust it very easily. A must for anyone using cameras or hand held video camcorders

3.Manfrotto 725B Digi Tripod with Integrated Ball Head with Dove Tail Plate and Carrying Bag (Black) from: Manfrotto April 14, 2006

Its built strong, and sturdy!.Nice hard plastic legs that open with 3-clips for short to long. I think the coolest thing about this tripod is the dovetail plate.! So cool that when you release the pin you can swivel 360 degrees, up/down, right/left! This comes in very HANDY! One or 2 small drawbacks: #1-The center pole that holds the camera, slips! If you put any pressure at all on it. Not very taught. this pole goes up & down for length and has a red clip, to hold it, but it still can be pushed down or up very easily.. Also, there is nothing on this tripod to help you level it, so attch'ing your camera can be crooked, so be careful..not a huge hinderance though. Overall, 4-stars..given for contruction,looks,durability..this is no CHEAP LOOKING TRIPOD, its very ... Read More

4.Velbon DF-60 Dual Function Light Weight Tripod from: VELBON

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.

5.Canon Deluxe 200 Tripod from: Canon Cameras US
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $45.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $38.40 You Save: $6.60 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $38.73
This is the first tripod I have ever had. I have seen some others from my friends and this one is one of the best you can have for 30 bucks. It looks very nice and not cheap at all. And the poles are bigger than most of the tripods I have seen - which means more stable. It's also had bubble level (in the description it doesn't say that when some others' have, so in the beginning I thought that this one doesn't have bubble level. But it might be standard for all tripods). I'm very happy with my tripod. Don't go for some junk 10-buck tripods, spend some more money and you don't regret for your purchase.

6.Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release - Replaces 3229 from: Manfrotto
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $38.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $34.90 You Save: $3.10 ( 8%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
I recently bought this Monopod head that goes with the Manfrotto 694 Monopod. Amazon listed this item as an accessory to the Monopod. Both of them are made for each other as they fit well as one piece. The 234RC provides a quick release just by turning the thumb handle that lets the top plate popped out. Once the plate is in place, a side pin provides additional safety to prevent the thumb handle from turning. That's definitely a nice feature in this head. Great buy so far!

7.Manfrotto 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect Plate (3157N) from: Manfrotto April 14, 2006

I have been using a traditional, three knob tripod head for the last couple of years, and absolutely hated carrying my tripod around. In the instances where I absolutely needed to use it, it was always a chore. It was a pain to setup, and fine tuning once you had a rough composition was difficult, to say the least. I finally replaced the old head with the Manfrotto 322RC2, and I actually enjoy using my tripod now. Composing shots is much more fluid and natural. You can readjust quickly, and have much more flexibility with positioning. I've used my tripod more in the last month with the 322RC2 than I had in the last year with the other head. This is a great addition to any sturdy tripod legs.

8.Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod from: Vanguard
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.34
I purchased the vs41 and vs55. Vs41 more flexable but vs55 stays firm on any surface. I've Used the Vs41 a few times and it does what its suppose to do but if you use a heavy lense the VS55 will do a job better.

I wanted a decently affordable tripod with good stability, less weight and I was definitely sure that I wanted a "Manfrotto". After lot of research, visits to many local camera stores and playing around with several pieces i found this one meeting my needs. Light weight (around 4 pounds) & pretty good stable for my Rebel Xti with 70-200 mm on it. Maximum load (11 lbs). One thing i didn't like is the leg locking mechanism. Sometimes it is hard to open the lock. I loved the 360 degree movement of the middle leg, when combined with Manfrotto 322RC2 it works like a charm. I highly recommend this product who is looking for a affordable Manfrotto with good durablity.

Highly recommended. I use this with a Manfrotto carbon-fiber tripod and Cannon 40D, it works very well. Great ballhead for the money.
