Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vanguard MK-S Compact Lightweight Tripod
Customer Review: Solid Tripod for the weight and price
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my 5th tripod so far, all I still use depending on situation. This one is the latest I bought (for travel use only) and I am happy with it.
Pros:
- Lightweight at roughly ~1.5 lbs with aluminum body
- Solid and steady, even when fully extended with the center extension pole (need to tighten the screw, but that's common)
- 3-way adjustment - good enough for most purposes
Cons:
- Extends only to 50" so most people still have to hunch down a bit (but I knew it before I bought it)
- The head adjustment is not always precise and flat, so you need to put your camera on slight angle for some flexibility
But overall it is solid for traveling needs when you don't want to carry fullsize tripod or pay $200+ for a carbonfiber one.
