FanCier Tripods???

[catweh00]

Hello everyone,
I ran across this auction listing the other day http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30094&item=7509508900
And I was wondering if anyone had ever tried these tripods. It seems like a great deal, but I do not the brand (Fancier) and how it compares with other companies. PLease let me know if you have any info on them.

Seems kinda short and flimsy. I wouldn't skimp on a tripod if its something your going to use alot. I use my Bogen all of the time and am happy I got it. Most of the better tripods will last a long time, so I wouldn't have to much reservation about buying a used one on ebay.

Well, it says it opens to 62" (plenty for me) an dit support 8.8 lbs. How much do most tripods support? yes, I don't want to go too cheap, and I thought about purchasing an Amvona because my friend has one and loves it, but these look pretty similar to the amvona ones. What do you all think?

If not this one, do you know of any good tripod stores (internet) that have complete tripods and are reasonable? I know they're not cheap...
Thanks

Look at Bogen / Manfrotto.
