    I needed a tripod on an emergency basis for a project. Staples was the only store around (I love that stores are always right where you need one!) and they had two tripods - this and a cheaper Vivitar. There were no samples out and the box was sealed. I figured that the tripod ought to be at least 'good enough' for the price (under $40). All the gears are plastic. If you tighten a knob too much or turn the crank too far you'll mangle the gear and break the thing.

    The mechanisms are also full of burrs so that if you try and smoothly pan or tilt, you'll get jumps as you bump into the burrs. It gets better as you work it back and forth further suggesting the softness of the critical sections of the tripod.

    The device I wanted to hold was only a simple voice recorder but I wouldn't trust this with a camera I care about.

      Comments about Vivitar VIV-VPT-5660 Series One Pro Heavy-Duty Tripod:

      Being fairly new to photography, I wasn't really sure that I need to purchase a tripod for the kind of photography that I would be doing. A good friend of mine has a tripod and explained to me all the times that she uses hers. I began to shop around and found this tripod. Appearing to be a good value and the fact that it was heavy duty, I decided to purchase it for myself. Since buying it a couple of weeks ago, I can honestly say that I have used it almost everyday. Still photography and shooting waterfalls has never been easier. I can't wait to try other shots.

          I needed a tripod that did not require to screw the latches to extend or retract the legs. This met my needs. It is also light weight and does not add weight to my backup and camera gear.
