Review on VANGUARD Espod 234Ap Tripod Ph 23 by Cristina Zane

Whether you need a tripod for your DSLR, camcorder or compact camera, this tripod can be your first choice. I originally bought this for hiking with my wife; I needed something compact, lightweight, and durable that wouldn't drain my wallet. VANGUARD Espod is exactly what I wanted! PROS: - Light and compact: - Well built and durable: After 1 year of frequent use, it still looks and feels great - it could last me over 10 years! - 2 clearly visible layers: one layer is for the tripod legs and the other for the camera. Convenient Height Adjustment: Tripod height ranges from 23" to 49" with legs apart and no camera attached. I'm 5'11" and I'm fine with it. - Ease of use: All buttons and knobs stay tight, ensuring your camera remains secure, stable and easy to view and operate - even with the camera attached. - Stable: I have a Nikon D5300 and I have NEVER felt that my camera is unstable or that the tripod could fall off, which is amazing considering how thin and light the tripod is CONS: - Paint scratches fairly easily: Me I go hiking with a tripod once or twice a month and after a few trips to the mountains I've noticed a few minor scratches on my legs, but the scratches weren't that noticeable that they would be a cause for concern, they were just cosmetic, superficial ones Stains. - No quick shoes were included. : To purchase the correct quick change shoe for your camera and tripod, contact VANGUARDS Customer Service (1-800-875-3322).
