Revainrating 1 out of 5

Robust construction, robust design. Winner!

I eyed this tripod for a long time and finally decided to pull the trigger and buy it because I wanted a good vacation tripod. Let me just say this thing is RELIABLE and built like a tank. That's exactly what I was looking for in a tripod. I have a Canon T5i and it does a great job. I can't wait to see how many positions I can put my camera in. UPDATE: 5/10/2016 I had this tripod and loved it for four months, but tonight I went through my gear and straightened one of the tripods. legs, and suddenly one fell down. I didn't do anything to lengthen the tripod or anything like that. I was completely flabbergasted because for something so expensive and seemingly well built, losing just one leg seems a bit odd. I'm just glad it happened when I was checking my gear and NOT when it was tied to something. So stay tuned! I'm not sure if I'll get another one of these or not. UPDATE: 05/14/2016 I contacted Joby after it broke and they responded immediately the next day with details on how to get a replacement, I think it helps that it was still under warranty. Well, three days have passed and I received a beautiful package in the mail. I went back to five stars because although it happened they were more than accommodating to their customers. This is a company I can stand for! Thank you Jobi!
