 SUPERB!!!! March 27, 2005

well i bought this on wed night and recieved it fri night, you just have to love amazons free shipping, it simply amazes me at how fast they ship out.
now about the tripod, its mostly metal which i like and its all black which i also like. it has a bubble level which comes in very handy when outdoors on uneven surfaces. all the controls move very nice and smooth which was my biggest concern with buying a tripod online and not being able to try it first hand. though i read some reviews online about this tripod and i was happy with what i read. i only wish that it had a handle to make it easier to carry but i have only seen bigger tripods with the handle. all in all its great and i love it, also it was only 5.94 since i used my 25GC from amazon weeeeeeeeee
if you dont want to spend much i def recommend this one as it out performs all the crap that circuit city had to offer.
 Bah. Mostly plastic, and heavier than described. July 17, 2008

When I was shopping for this, one review caught my eye saying this tripod was "mostly metal." That claim, along with the light weight in the description, were the two things that sold me on the model.
Well, NEITHER ARE TRUE. This thing is indeed mostly plastic made to look like black metal. Apparently, this fooled the other reviewer, but not me. The only metal I found on the whole thing were the bars of the legs themselves, and the bar of the swivel handle. Every single other part of this thing is black plastic. All of the hinges and joints are plastic. The leg braces are plastic. The height crank is plastic (yikes!). Even the center tube is PLASTIC. Overall, it looks nice, I'll give them that; but please know that you are NOT getting a "mostly metal" tripod here. No way.
Now, that by itself wouldn't be too bad, except that you'd expect something that's nearly all plastic to be much lighter - it isn't. The part of the description that reads:
Product Dimensions: 22.3 x 5 x 4.9 inches ; 1 pounds
..is WRONG. Maybe this thing weighs 1 pound on the moon, but it's much heavier where I'll be using it, here on earth. It is, indeed, much closer to it's described shipping weight:
Shipping Weight: 4 pounds
Why the large discrepancy? Who know? Sloppiness on Amazon's part, I guess. At any rate, the weight was key for me, and there were several tripods lighter than 4 lbs which I passed up. I guess I should have trusted my instincts when they told me this was too good to be true.
Anyway, if I'm going to buy a plastic tripod, I want it to be much lighter than 4 lbs.
 I like this tripod stand August 26, 2005

This tripod stand is very sturdy and its not that heavy that means you can carry this stand with you very easily. The only thing it lacks it the Case with the handle with the help of which it could be easier to carry it.
Best product for the money! December 20, 2005

Light, easy to use and adjust, classy looking....its a Sony! I am very pleased with the VCTR640 and would highly recommend it. It is very stable and pans with ease. You can spend more....but you will not find a better product!
Versatile and lite weight. September 1, 2005

Bought this tripod to use with my spotting scope for target shooting. Easy attachment to my scope and multiple adjustment heights, with the crank, make it easy to zero in on the target and allow anyone to see thru the scope, no matter how tall they are. Compact and lite to carry, makes it easy to transport to and from the range.
