Digital Concepts TR-60N Camera Tripod with Carrying Case: Customer Reviews & Product Details

I was extremely happy with my purchase. The tripod was exactly what I was looking for. The tripod is easy to use and easy to carry with you.

You get what you pay for. The design and construction was flimsy and one of the legs came out on my first attempt to use it. If you have a heavy SLR camera then it can be very unstable on the head and you will not get very good pictures. Better pay more for a better product.

Everything about this product is decent quality. For the ridiculous price I paid ($16 and change), this product was definitely well worth it. And for someone who only makes $10 an hour, it's much better than what I thought I could afford (thought I'd have to get one of those 12 inch tripods instead of a real one). The legs are decent quality and seem pretty sturdy, the swivel head has a nice arm and liquid leveler. The only downside I see is that the head joints are plastic, making positioning less than smooth and fine angle adjustments more difficult (something you can avoid if you're willing to lay down $100 or so for a tripod I suspect). You'll need to treat the swivel head with care if you want it to last many years, but overall this is a decent product. For what I paid, I'm not complaining. :-)

This was a pretty good tripod, especially for the price. This is also the first one I have owned. It does the job. The construction is a little weak. On the second day I took it out and one of the legs that were supposed to snap in place-slid completely out of the tripod. It is light weight and the handle on it makes for an easy carry. It does come with a hook to load a bag of rocks or something to weight it down. Hey, in my view, it's a good starter tripod.

Good: For the cost, the tripod has a lot of different features that come handy. One I liked that my previous tripod did not have was the camera base has click-on mechanism, which allows you to perform one hand operation of placing the camera on the tripod.

Bad: The plastic molded parts were clearly not finished. There was plastic sticking out at various places. The screw that fixes the camera to the base which is typically metal has a plastic top that looks like it is going to break off.

Ugly: 3 days in my use of the tripod, a tiny screw fell of from the tripod and one of the legs completely detached from the tripod. Because of the way the screw was positioned, I could not even use a regular screw driver to put it back in. I had to fashion a small "L" shaped screw driver just to screw it back on. I would not recommend this product.
