Digital Concepts TR-60N Camera Tripod with Carrying Case

I read a lot of the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect from this tripod, so I decided to try it out for myself. I'm planning a trip so I wanted something that was easy to carry and lightweight. This tripod definitely offers that. It also has quite a few adjustments for such an inexpensive tripod.

However, if you are serious about photography I would skip buying this. I tried it out on my Nikon d40 and found that the mounting plate doesn't screw in tightly (causing the camera to swivel when turned to a downward/upward position). I've used professional level tripods and they are definitely worth the money. If you're looking for something really sturdy and high quality I wouldn't really recommend getting this tripod.

Great tripod for the price. It is light and easy to carry. Has a satisfactory hight and range of motion. Not super stable because of the weight - but the trade-off is well worth it. I definitely recommend this product.

Light, portable, not costly, has built in leveling and amazing stability. Not sure what else you could possibly want. Paying more is usually not "better", just paying more. This tripod will do it all.

This probably one of the worst products I've ever bought. So disapponited. Firstly the tripod that was sent to me was a used one but sold to me as NEW. You could clearly see that it was a returned item. Had scratches all over. I don't mind used items but what I don't like is paying for a new item but shipped a used one. Secondly, the tripod is horrible. It makes this squeeking sound when you go up and down and not only that but it also does not turn smoothly as it's supposed to when you use the camcorder. Imagine you record something important and you have all those squeeking sounds when you turn up and down and sideways? I'm guessing it's ok for people who will be using it for small digital cameras but not dSLRs. I wouldn't use it with my E-510. It might collapse down when used with Zuiko 70-300mm lens.
Just horrible product overall. But as they say "you get what you pay for". This tripod is going right back at amazon.

You can definitely tell that this tripod was not meant for professional use. Other tripods I have used we're easier to adjust and didn't move after tightening. This tripod feels a little cheap, yes, I only spent $20 on it, so I guess I couldn't expect more. This tripod did great for my wife's photo class, however I think we'll be needing a better one if she continues pursuing photography.
