Pros: The legs are all flexible via pivoting ball joints along each of the 3 legs in little sections. These sections then have a horizontal rubber material across them so that they are able to grip onto different surfaces.
I have tested it with my canon 400D and 17-85 lens and it is able to support its weight quite easily while standing up as well as wrapped around something such as the handrest on my work chair.
This tripod is a great alternative to the real product and is quite handy to have around.
There is also a 3/8 screw attachment on top of the installed 1/4 screw for other cameras. This can be taken off, which i have done to use for my 400D

Cons: build quality is a bit average. i have a feeling that the legs may get looser as i use it more and more, but then again i may be wrong.
the screw for the camera needs to be tightened via a screw driver or a metal coin. i used a 10c coin as im in australia and it works fine. should really have a loop which allows for hand tightening, but its no big issue

Other Thoughts: CHEAPER PLEASE!!!???
... only cuz things are never cheap enough :P
but srsly, this is quite a nice tripod which beats the other retail alternatives

Bottomline: get it!get it!get it!get it!

Pros: Cant Tell Yet. See review of the item supplied e.g. the SKU2331 in the Cons section. I realise you was expecting a review of SKU13610 and I will review it when it arrives.

Cons: I haven't got it yet. The item ordered was not delivered, I have got SKU2331 NOT SKU13610 as ordered. The SKU2331 supports 1Kg where as SKU13610 supports 3Kg. SKU2331 is not suitable for a digital SLR with a fully extended (300mm) lens.

Other Thoughts: Has anyone received this item yet ? I ordered SKU13610 on 17th August 2008, but SKU2331 was delivered. I am now told SKU13610 is 'long term out of stock'

Bottomline: Please Comment
