Ambico 54 Inch Tripod with Quick Release (V-0555)

Me gustó la medida del artículo y su diseño

i was cleaning out my gramps garage and found this tripod and decided to keep it. on the box it says it was made in 1994. i tested it out fully extending the legs and neck. and found it to be quite sturdy all around. i shook it a bit to be sure and yea its sturdy. i read some other reviews on this tripod saying this was very flimsy and wobbly when fully extended. mabe they just got bad ones or it may be cause my older version is better quality? idk. theres no hook loop to add weight but i can just drill a small hole at the bottom and that will work just fine.only problem i have is up and down movement is jerky. unless really loose. and swivel movement isnt very smooth even loosened up all the way. when its folded up all the way its about 21 inches long and 4 inches wide, which isnt to bad, to big 'for me anyways' for backpacking. overall i like it cause its not a p.o.s like my old one which was about the same price as this one is advertised at. that one was really flimsy,could be knocked over by the slightest breeze., way to short (litte higher than this one half extended) and fell apart after a short time. plus this was free and now i dont hafto go buy one. if i think of the name of the one that was crap il add it later.

Unfortunately, this tripod is too lightweight for my needs and I am going to have to find another one which is more substantial. The seller was not at fault. They delivered it quickly and in very good condition.

great for my needs,,,,might not be for pro use but, quality is great, sturdy as hell, and no way you cant beat the price

The tripod was okay was it was missing the attached piece which allows you to secure the camera to the ipod. Due to the timing of my trip, this was a big problem for me, because I couldn't use the tripod.

...unless they hadn't insisted on the "geared" telescopic part. It has some sort of swivel that is supposed to raise and lower it, but the handle is the cheapest possible plastic and it broke the very first time I used it. It's extremely annoying because overall it's not a bad tripod, but it really didn't need that bit of "hi-tech", and now I am unable to use the telescopic part at all...Yes, it's lightweight and somewhat unstable, but I can live with that. The biggest problem is the bad engineering and the subpar materials...

This is a very nice tripod for $15 plus shipping and handling.I was very pleasantly surprised.Screwed into both my digital camera and my camcorder.It folds up to a nice size and is very lightweight, but sturdy even when fully extended.

After purchasing based on the previous reviews, I was a bit underwhelmed after recieving this tripod, but what else can you get for $13.If you plan on using this for video or time-lapse work, I would recommend finding a thicker, sturdier model. I have a very small DV camcorder (Canon Elura 100) and am unable to pan or tilt without jerking the picture. Also, if you raise the telescopic part more than a few inches, it becomes very shaky.All of the knobs and locking parts are totally plastic, so it wouldn't be good for use in the cold or for rough use.
