[QUOTE="Danno, post: 698633, member: 34269"] I am not at all familiar with it, but I did do a quick search and it showed up on amazon with one star. I would be really reluctant to go too cheap on a tripod just because you will enjoy the opportunity to buy another to replace the cheap one, (or at least I did). I would encourage you to consider weight capacity of the tripod as construction. I bought an AltraPro 264AT and it is a decent tripod, but I ended up having to replace the ball head because when I tried to lock the head at anything other tan vertical it would droop. It drove me crazy and I cannot tell you how many shots I messed up. I ended up buying a Benro ball head and it fixed the locking problem. I still use the AltraPro 264AT tripod, but now I use it with a gimbal head taking bird photos from my porch of birds. I purchased a much better used tripod and head combo for everything else. If I were looking now and had that budget I would look at Benro or Sirui. Just my two cents. I am an impatient person. In the search for a tripod that proved to be expensive. [/QUOTE]
