Is This Tripod Worth the $$?

[zcar21]

I agree with both you and SCraig about the reliability of the "reviews" on the website...and I'm a skeptic by nature anyway, so I *always* doubt a product is as good as it's being made out to be. That's why I thought I'd post this here; see if anyone has had any experience with this particular brand or knows anything about them.

If I can find something in the same price range that my trusted TPF'ers recommend, I'll go that direction instead of risking the money on something none of us ever heard of, no matter how good it "sounds."

I'll rather trust somebody who has the tripod than someone who doesn't. The tripod seems to be heavy and sturdy, which is the main point of a tripod. For $83 there might be better build tripod, but not as solid.
