Not available at B&H or Adorama? Reviews hard to find? Stupid low price for carbon fiber?

At first glance, I'd pass. Try to save up for a proper Manfrotto system at least.

Those are Chinese knock-offs of Giotto tripods at a fraction of the cost. They look very similar from the outside but that does not mean they are the same quality and as sturdy. I would not buy one of those before trying it out to see if it would be suitable for my needs.

I hope someone gets it and does a review.

Sorry to hijack the thread. But has anyone got one of these tripods?

It works out at $101.12, i know it's one of the cheaper Giotto tripods, but it's all i can afford right now.
