Very nice product While I haven't used any other tripods, I am fully satisfied with this one! I bought this tripod specifically to use with my new DSC-R1 camera. It was listed as the preferred tripod in the camera's accessories book, and seemed to have a lot of nice features, so I figured I would give it a shot. The tripod is extremely light weight, and is ideal for taking on hikes or walks. It comes with a little bag to carry it in, which conveniently fits over your shoulder and hangs behind your back. It has a quick-mount for the camera (i.e. a little piece that you screw onto the bottom of your camera that can easily be put on and taken off of the tripod, so you only have to spend about 2 seconds mounting the camera onto the tripod at any given time. To assemble the tripod out of its container from fully compact size to fully assembled size takes all of 10 seconds. You unhook each of the leg pieces and let them slide to full length. You then tighten those leg pieces and pull the legs out until they click into place. Despite its light weight, it is quite sturdy. It's also very customizable as to height or camera orientation (you can just about get any shot or angle that you want). It tilts on all axis and can get as low as 7 inches off of the ground. All in all, this is a great tripod. Again, I haven't tried any others, but this tripod has yet to disappoint. Very light and strong feel I bought this tripod for my Nikon D80 with 18-135mm kit lens. It holds D80 very well and the weight of the tripod itself is light for travel. Highly recommended. Light and useful great tripod... just what I was looking for... Highly recommended for prof. use...
