Review on Geographic Phototripod 4 Section Mid Level Aluminium by Jennifer Davis

I read a question asking "Where is it made?" The packaging clearly says "Made in China". I had to figure out how it all works. The user manual is written in 6 different languages, all functions are underlined, as is the packaging. It assumes you know how it works. I don't know how to remove the plate (I figured it out) then attach the plate to the camera by turning the thumbscrew on the plate to secure the camera. Not by attaching the camera to the plate. Otherwise you will scratch the bottom of the camera. (Learned the hard way.) The rest of the tripod works well for light purposes. I use a Canon SX740HS which is great for this. A great little tripod for the price. I think you pay for "National Geographic". Just remember it's still "Made in China".
