Customer Review: Good enough for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this tripod to replace an older sony tripod that only went up to my chest. It has excellent height and is a steal at $21, still, it has some problems. The old sony tripod has thinner legs but feels more solid/less shakey, probably because the connectors that go from the legs to the center column are aluminum while the mk-4's is plastic. It's stable enough though. The removable mounting piece is really cheap(but it serves it's purpose) so I use the mount from another tripod instead. Panning is not the smoothest, the legs on mine are silver which can cause bad reflections in glass, and minimum working height is 2 feet so you might want to get something to cover low shooting. It does not come with a bag but has a carrying handle. The older sony had a bag but it is VERY uncomfortable carrying a loose, dangly tripod on your back, and it is also awkward to carry without a handle. I very much prefer the handle over the bag. Even with all it's flaws I still do not regret the purchase because it is very tall, serves it's purpose well enough, and is super-cheap in price(just wish it was heavier). I use it to hold up a medium size camera, and it feels like it can hold up something like a Canon Digital Rebel with its plastic body and a lightweight 300mm lens okay, but not a heavy metal bodied SLR with a great big long lens. If you've got money for a camera like that, then you need to buy yourself a better, heavier tripod. By the way, people who NEED expensive bogen-manfrotto tripods and probably use bulky, heavy equipment have no business buying cheap-o $21 tripods and then saying how much they suck, IMHO.
