Velbon Dual Function Mini Photographic/Video Tripod

I received the tri-pod in a timely manner,
it is very well made and supports my
Sony a100 with 200m lens easily. It has a
quick release mount which is very nice, if
you want/need to remove the camera quickly.
It's 3-way rotating base is simple to use,
and provides a steady base in any position.
I would highly recommend this product to
anyone.

I really like this tripod for two reasons.

1) Velbon quality. Velbon makes great tripods. Yes, you could spend thousands for a pro tripod, but you dont have to!

2) Height. I have a large tripod (Velbon model ordered from Amazon) that I use for portrait shots, etc. However, for macro owrk and other shots that require close quarter and/or low to ground access, this is excellent.

It also works with both cameras and camcorders, which is very handy. The 3-way pan head is critical in a tripod, and of course it has a quick release like all Velbon tripods.
