" ... The tripod bag is of similar decent quality and very useful. ... I would not use it fully extended, but it is a useful tripod in certain situations, e.g., when the exposure time is just above hand held (1/15 to 1 sec with a standard or wide angle lens), for tele photo lenses at regular shutter speeds, or as a tripod to hold an additional flash. ... "
" ... It is not a professional level tripod (nor is it priced at a professional level), but it is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious prosumer. ... "
