Review on Targus Digital Panhead 50 Inch TG 5060TR by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap things are cheap. Think twice

All I can say is that if you are planning to buy this item, know that when you buy cheap you are buying cheap. I'd spend another $10 and get something better than "saving" money and getting something that looks like it will fall apart the next time I use it. The tripod is light and compact and has a good length, but the legs are too thin and you feel they are not that strong. I have a Sony Alpha A65 and was afraid this thing would fall apart with the camera on top. I bought this to use on my travels and to have a portable tripod that would be cheap and small. When I received it, I found a used one, scratched and broken tripod. The leveling bubble is difficult to see (by the way there is only ONE bubble level!) because of the many scratches the material is very poorly finished, most of the screws that position the camera at the desired angle do not have enough strength to keep the camera steady, the bag was torn. I'm writing this to be cautious because I actually bought it from Revain LLC thinking it would be safer.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
