5 out of 5 stars A Very Nice, Cheap, Tripod.   September 21, 2008
Jeff Tomkinson (North Carolina, USA)
The Vanguard MK-1 tripod is extremely nice, and well worth the cheap price. When they say it is lightweight, that is exactly what they mean. It is quite sturdy and is built well. The rubber soles on each of the three pod legs helps a lot in keeping it steady.

I bought this mainly to use with my new Flip Ultra Camcorder to conduct interviews and it works extremely well. It also fits my digital camera as well. I would highly recommend this tripod to anyone who likes to have a nice tripod without breaking the bank.



4 out of 5 stars Nice inexpensive tripod   March 28, 2008
D. Van Hove (Fairbanks, Ak. USA)
Tripod appears to be as advertised. I wanted an inexpensive tripod for travel that could be used under rough conditions and if lost or stolen wouldn't "break the bank". This unit fits the bill. It has all of the basic features you would expect of a lightweight tripod and would be suitable for holding camera gear up to 8-10 pounds. At under 21" in length, it is more packable than many other units on the market.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect Tripod For All-Use   December 18, 2007

I have a Flip Video, a regular Nikon 7.1 (small) camera and a large 15 year-old SONY video camera. The SONY is touchy with the balance, but I rarely use it (uses tapes). The Flip and my Nikon are perfect, as I can raise and lower the tripod from 22" to 52". It's really lightweight and sturdy, especially with the rubber tip mounts. Maneuverability is great! Plus, its reasonably priced. For small stuff, I still use my Flip ATR1B Tripod, but this is great for outdoors on concrete or grass.

I've got it from Amazon 2 weeks ago and completely satisfied with it. It works fine, weight is light. Everything is fine. I highly recommend this tripod to any non-professional photographer as I am.

I purchased through you a leight weight tripod a month ago and received it from Ritz Camera in a damaged condition. The plastic guide of the center pole was broken and my contact with Ritz Camera was terrible, to say the least. I'll never do busness with them again. They were not impolite, however, the efficientcy to handle the matter more business like just wasn't there. I still dont have a new tripod and my return of the broken item was declined.
