SOMITA St-3560 Lightweight 68" Tripod with Travel Bag for Digital Camera

Used it at a graduation ceremony and the moment I set it up for taking video and still shots someone asked me if I was a professional and how much I charged. Love this tripod. very lightweight, simple and easy to use, the adjust-ability and locking features for the legs allowed me to keep it out of the isle so people could walk past me. Used it again mounting a compact/portable projector on it (less than 3 pounds) as the screen in the room is suspended about 10 ft off the floor. Again, it worked great! For under $30 and giving your mounted device over 60" in height this is a great purchase. The carry handle on the tripod is an awesome feature for on the go events and the bag is great and of equal quality.

The tripod itself is great, very sturdy feeling at short heights, and the levels work well. However, it's advertised as having a fluid head, which is why I specifically bought this tripod, as its the only one that claims to have a fluid head at this price point. It definitely does not though. I'll give it 3 stars for the tripod build quality, but knocking two off since it's definitely not a fluid head.

It is definitely lightweight, but holds a DSLR camera nicely. I like the bubble levels and the ease of extending the tripod legs. I will get lots of use from this tripod.

Another item bought for my son. He had purchased a video camera with birthday money, so we bought him this for Christmas. The height range is incredible. He is doing a video for school, so I would like to have the ability to go shorter to set it on the table, but I knew the minimum height when I bought it, so no negative there. Attaches easily to the camera, sturdy, and easy to use.

The product measures exactly as mentioned. I love how high you can get the camera; especially when you have to film at an event where everyone is standing in front of the tripod. Construction feels good and sturdy, and easy to put into the included bag for travel. If you're using it for vacation/personal use while traveling it might be a little too big for you, but if that's no problem it will work for you. I highly recommend this product.

It was broke upon arrival, says a lot about the plastic on this. The features are cool if they didnt break.

Perfect for a beginner like me who just starting to get into photography. The quick release is a nice option.

I bought it for only $15. I feel like I stole it. This thing is very solid and comes with a carry case. I feel that it is worth twice what I paid for it
