    Wow, only 22 buckarooos! Just slap a .5mm ply plastic bag around it, add long 90lb test string to it and fly during a strong breeze.

    This is a great tripod. It can hold my Nikon D5000 set up pretty well (18-200mm lense with sb-600 flash). It's nice and stable.

    The only complaint that I have is that the pand/tilt head is plastic. If you lean the camera 90 degrees, it feels like the hing will break off. But if you leave the camera in normal position (horizontal) then it's stable. I have not tested in windy condition, but overall very satisfactory with the tripod for the low price.

    I own this one as well. It isn't the greatest by any means, but for the price and the features it is worth having around as a secondary or beater tripod. As noted by others, it has quite a few plastic parts. One of the plastic snap lock levers cracked during the first week of use, but to be fair it was pretty cold outside. It's not a Bogen, but I'd say it was worth the $20.

    Yea good bang for the buck. Bigger than expected actually and not very "smooth" but not bad for SLRs. if you do video though, might have to get something better.
