The 3-way panhead and quick release shoe are all a plus. I highly recommend this quality and low-priced tripod. If you are looking for a quality tripod and don't want to spend a fortune then get this Velbon DF-40. from Amazon.com the tripod is good knowing it's a velbon, i think it's good enough to handle enough battering, my only complaint is that the quick release shoe is hard to place under the camera's tripod screw, they should have used a metal knob that has a longer handle, when mounting on the tripod itself in vertical orientation, you must be careful for it not to be turning because of the camera's weight (my camera is canon 40d with bg-e2n grip and 28-135mm IS/ sigma 30mm 1.4) maybe for lighter cameras it will not turn when it's mounted, anyway, this is just my first tripod so i can say it's just okay, i'll invest soon on a better tripod (manfrotto). from Amazon.com Then I added four pounds in lead bars. Everything is stable, no wobble, no creaking or groaning. I paid for quality in Velbon over three decades ago, and now have gotten quality AGAIN by purchasing Velbon. That seems a pretty simple concept to me (G) from Amazon.com I've been researching and pricing tripods for about a month now, but when this deal came along with free shipping, I couldn't resist. I have looked at the Velbon DF-40 in photo departments of stores and really like the versatility and quality of this model, and when I received my order from Amazon, several days early and in excellent condition, I was NOT disappointed. It does everything I need a tripod to do, and it's very easy to transport just about anywhere because of it's compact size. from Amazon.com while it does feel a bit fragile it does hold up well with my canon slr very well, even with my heavy 75-300 tamron lens. from Amazon.com The materials are largely the same, minor differences in some places due to weight, others due to improved materials (today), so (albeit few, IMO) for cost savings. from Amazon.com the tripod is good knowing it's a velbon, i think it's good enough to handle enough battering, my only complaint is that the quick release shoe is hard to place under the camera's tripod screw, they from Amazon.com I got this tripod a few weeks ago and must say I am quite pleased with it. For one, it collapses quite well and can stand at least 4ft tall (Haven't extended it to full length yet.) from Amazon.com I was so disappointed with this tripod, I guess you really do get what you pay for! However, that being said, the information for this listing suggested that this tripod was capable of holding up to 10 pounds, which would easily hold most DSLR's, but it is definitly too flimsy. from Amazon.com I've been researching and pricing tripods for about a month now, but when this deal came along with free shipping, I couldn't resist.
