Ambico 57" Tripod V-0554

Pros: sturdy construction, inexpensive, very handy and flexible.
Cons: not too many.. only folds down to 26"

I am an avid digital photographer and about a year ago shopping for my Sony DSC S75 digital camera (which I have also reviewed http://www.epinions.com/content_82263838340) I came across this neat tripod at Best Buy for...

Pros: very lightweight
Cons: Flimsy, almost too light (easily knocked over), rough operation.

This item represents the worst quality in its price range. In fact, Best Buy has dropped this brand because everyone was returning them.
The flimsy plastic parts are easily broken, moving parts do not work smoothly, and the telescoping leg locks do not lock with consistent pressure.
I would not recommend this product to anyone.

(Don't buy from HookedonTronics.com - they charge a 7% restocking fee for returns)
