Content: I bought this together with a Canon Rebel XSi and some lenses, the whole kit from Cameta Camera. The items arrived intact and I looked like a kid on X-mas day. I opened the Vanguard VT-126 and extended it to test its features and on my first crank of the extension shaft...the crank stayed in my hand. Upon close examination, the shaft turned by the crank is made out of plastic, not metal. Hey designers, lose weight somewhere else, this part needs to be made out of metal or it will break, just a matter of time!
I paid $60 for it, but I see lots of options on Amazon.com for less than that with more stars.
Ohh, but if you decide you don't need to raise the tripod and looks are important to you, this tripod looks great!
Summary: Did not last one day!!!

Content: Just getting started with this tripod; did a ton of research and this one really seems to be the best built for the money. The head rotation could probably be smoother if you're doing video, but for my Nikon D40 it's perfect. Very solid, easy to operate adjustments at every joint. I like it.
Summary: it's a great tripod

Content: Recently purchased this tripod to replace a very old one. Great build quality, you can feel it by the weight, though it is not heavy. I like the quick release head, small enough for it to live on your camera and makes it very easy to clip right into the tripod when needed. Has a sturdy handle and a very cool "crank elevator" that adjusts the height.
Some things I would like to see improve: There should be an additional level on the head in addition to the body's level. And the bottom of the middle support should include a hook to add a weight for stability.
All in all a great product at a great price, I actually paid 60$ at Beach so here it's a great deal.
Summary: Solid Tripod at a good price
