from www.amazon.com
At First Glance One can easily mistake this tripod for the vaunted Slik Pro 500 DX, in fact, it could very well be one and the same design manufactured for two different companies.

I purchased this tripod because I wanted something lightweight for travel that would work with my Canon Rebel Digital SLR, and my Canon G2.

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 www.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 www.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

Velbon RUP-40 4-Section Monopod

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
This works pretty well to help me steady my MiniDV camcorder that though they claim has stabilization is unusable at even moderate zooms without something to stabilize it.
from www.amazon.com
Monopods will not replace a tri-pod, but they come in handy for when you need more stabilization than just holding the camera by hand.
from www.amazon.com
This monopod is really sturdy, its great for a dSLR with 75-300mm zoom lens.
from www.amazon.com
Now I don't need to look for a bench or a tree to help me hold still though it's still not nearly as good as a tripod when the zoom gets out to 10 or 15X.
