What's in the Box
TR60N tripod and carrying case.

I'd say 4 and 1/2 stars
The only thing that kept this from getting 5 stars was the fact that the plastic peice on the bag that attached the strap broke the first time out. It was easily fixed and my husband loves it.

Good for the Price
Its good for the price. Once thing you will be surprised is the single pole for the last ft' on top of which the camera will be mounted. havent used outdoors yet, but shouldn;t be problem. Felt comfortable with the adjustments. Light weight, since I am not a pro, it suited my needs.

light weight
I was looking for an inexpensive light weight tripod to take on walks - this fits the bill. But it is bit less stable than I would like - a strong wind blows it, and what you have mounted on it, over. Also the movement of the head is a little jerky so it is not that easy to use with a small spotting scope for scanning. With all that said it was only $18 so for the money it is not really fair to compare it to a heavy expensive tripod. I would still buy it again.

Beware SLR owners, will not support camera's weight
I was excited to receive this tripod, it has some cool features and seemed like a great bargain. When we screwed our camera to the top, we found out that the top piece, that adjusts the camera's up and down angle, couldn't handle the weight of our camera(nikon d60). The adjustment handle/screw piece would bend when we attached the camera and cause it to be out of alignment with its corresponding nut; and not fully tighten. I even tried replacing the nut, but it didn't solve the problem. I believe this is a design flaw and not an issue with the unit we received. This will likely work for a small digital camera, but not for a SLR or camcorder.

In this case, I'd recommend paying more to get better quality.
