Velbon DF-60 Dual Function Light Weight Tripod: Customer Reviews & Product Details

this is a great tripod for a very reasonable price. it has all the major features you would expect from something like this, is very easy to use, and is light weight.

Really worth the money. I was kinda iffy about ordering this sight unseen and I had never heard of the company...as I really wanted a sturdy tripod but didn't want to spend over $75. I can say this is an excellent tripod and based on this product I would say that if all their products are of the same quality then I would try other of their products and have recommended them to friends.

I like to do a lot of night shooting with my digital camera (Fuji Finepix S6000fd which is a great little camera). This winter the little spikes at the ends of the legs really helped stabilized the tripod in the ice. I was also comfortable walking away from the camera and knowing it would not fall over in the wind. The only way the camera was falling over is if someone bumped into the tripod. I also really like the quick release feature of the tripod to capture pictures quickly away from the tripod.

My only two reasons for not giving it 5 stars are 1) it didn't come with a case which would have been nice and 2) I am a little concerned about the screws getting stripped in the panning handle, but so far my fears have been unfounded. All things considered I was really happy with my new tripod.

I shopped around online for quite a while before I settled on this tripod. I narrowed it down to this one and the Slik U9000. All other things being equal (from what I could tell), I chose this one for aesthetics. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but it looks very sturdy, not cheap at all (cheap is a relative thing, I'm not a professional, so for me it's fine). I'm glad that I bought it. It is well worth the price.

Good product but not suitable for medium format cameras and slr cameras with large telephoto lenses.

So far the tripod has served me very well. Light, full height adjustments, and quite stable for its weight.
