I bought this tripod after my old camlink legs finally gave out, and I have to say that it's the best decision I ever made! Being quite tall, I've consistently had problems with finding tripods that will extend to my eye-height, but I was pleased to see that the 055XDB legs came up to my eyes even without the head on! Although the twisty-releases on the legs and shaft are a little odd at first, they're very easy to get used to. For those of you worried by the looseness of the legs and shaft when they're being adjusted, I've had this tripod set up in a force 10 storm and was able to get a 1min exposure with absolutely no shake whatsoever!
I think that I'm most impressed by the price of these legs here on Amazon - after searching the web for a couple of days, this is still the cheapest price that I've come across. For a superb set of legs from an exquisite manufacturer, this has got to be one of the best deals around.

I bought this for product photography and I am pleased I did.
The leg angle adjustment is independent and there are 3 fixed adjustment angles and you can extend the legs individually, the pillar mount is also adjustable when fully extended. For me this is really useful as it lets me get right on top of small products for macro shots, I also purchased a Giottos quick release head with two way adjustment so thats all bases covered.
It is well built and has a quality feel to it, for the price I got more than I was expecting.
By Andrew Brown (England, UK)
After much thought and reading reviews, I purchased a Giottos 9351B Tripod. It is very well made with multi-angle extendable legs which allow a wide choice of heights and can easily handle uneven terrain. I like that the centre column can be angled through 180 degrees which is very useful for macro type photography.
The tripod is quite heavy at around 4 pounds or 1.8 Kg but for the price it represents very good value at less than half the price of carbon. I would absolutely recommend this tripod, it seems obvious but do remember to order a Head also (I chose the Giottos MH5001 which is good value for money).
By Mr. B. Foote (Spain)
I have for some time been looking for a good solid tripod for my digital SLR camera and lenses. I have considered many, some more expensive than this one. I have a friend with a much more expensive Manfrotto, but there is no doubt about it, this is the better tripod.
Solidly built. Secure and with a host of features normally found on higher end models. The swivel centre column works superbly and is great for close up work. The legs are capable of of being spread wide, to help on uneven land and to get your camera low down. It even comes with a little tool kit and a replacement head for the centre column to assist in very low angle shots.
For the money, I doubt this can be beaten.
By Natterbat (Hampshire UK)
This is a very good tripod, well built, takes any 3/8 screw thread head.
The two way column is a must for macro and awkward places.
I wish I had found it earlier!
By Andrew Johns (Taunton,UK)
Fantastic, professional feeling and looking product that does everything that is asked of it. I had a slight issue with the centre column but Giottos replaced the entire tripod with a revised version which has fixed the problem.
Slightly heavy but then you are not paying for carbon so you can't expect everything. Looks significantly better than the Manfrotto equivalent.

Hi
This works smoothly, as per description its a bit heavy duty but you need some weight for stability good middle ground.
Would be good to have actual weight in the description - about 5lbs
By S. Rose (UK)
..if a little heavy to carry all day. The plate that fixes to the camera is quite chunky which adds to the weight off the tripod, & the plate has to be secured to the tripod by sliding in & securing with a screw, which is a bit fiddly sometimes if you want to get that shot quickly. Carrying my Nikon D90 on the tripod over my shoulder is the way to go although I have had some heart stopping moments when the camera looked like it was going to fall off because of the fiddly securing screw not being tight enough. Overall very happy though, much better than what I was looking at in the Jessops range for the same sort of money. A good buy.
By M. T. Bannister (Hampshire, UK)
When this tripod arrived, I was surprised by the size and especially the weight. This is not a small, lightweight aluminium tripod, it is a sizeable and robust aluminium tripod. It has rubber feet which are screw adjustable and three section legs with aluminium clamp mechanisms that appear well engineered and capable of a lot of use. Each leg splays out to one of three fixed, lockable positions.
The central post is height adjustable and can be used either way up.
The ball head is extremely basic. There is no handle to pan or tilt the head, which means that you end up adjusting the camera by moving the camera body itself. This is a slight worry when you are trying to fine tune the position, since some friction from the lock screw is needed, but too much means you are putting strain on the camera tripod mount (many of which are plastic these days). The head again seems well engineered and does feature a quick release plate.
All it all, I am impressed by the quality and ruggedness for the price.
By Elsinore (English Midlands)
My previous tripod - branded as a well known high street camera outlet, failed while on a short break at the weekend (24th April 2010). One of the leg extension clamps fell apart irrepairably. I'm not a gifted or even prolific photographer, but I do like taking long exposures and some long lens shots, both of which require a tripod. So on my return home Sunday 25th, I got stuck into the internet and soon found this tripod. I don't buy on impulse but read all 49 interviews, decided that 49 people couldn't be that wrong, so placed my order on Monday 26th. Delivered about 36 hours later - Wednesday 28th April!
First impressions; It's a serious piece of engineering, very solid. The pay off is that it is heavy, certainly compared to my previous (partly plastic) tripod. One review commented on the amount of grease on the ball head. Well mine as delivered had no lubricant on the ball at all. The centre column can be located upside down (so the camera hangs under the tripod) - you just have to remove the rubber cover on the end of the column. One slight worry is that the leg extension clamps operate the same way as the one which fell apart on me 3 days ago, but that was cheap plastic while this is metal and all held together with bolts adjustable with allen keys (supplied), so they should stand up to normal use. I was also concerned that the information on the net implied that the fully extended height fell short of that average person's height, but I am pleased to report that at full extension it comes up higher than my eye line, so I won't have to stoop to use it. (I'm 5ft 9-ish on a good day!) The bag stinks, so store it outside the house for a while. It comes with no instructions, but then I had no problem working out how it all operates. Not having used it in anger as yet, I'm very impressed by the solid construction - but I wouldn't want to have to lug it over rough terrain for any great distance along with all my other gear.
All I have to do now is re-read 49 reviews to pick up on all the points other reviewers have spotted.
5th May 2010;
Further to my initial review above, I have come across a few niggles with this tripod.
Firstly, I wanted to check the tightness of all the bolts, particularly the adjustment of the leg clamps. Discovered that the supplied allen key is difficult to get to fit the bolts - seems to be a bit too big.
Secondly, despite my best efforts to lubricate the ball, it is still stiff to move. My concern is that the easiest way to adjust the position is to move the camera, but I consider that would be stressing (or worse) the camera body. I try to move the mounting plate now rather than the camera itself. I will start looking around for an alternative head, with a handle.
Thirdly, after playing about with the tripod for a while I discovered a small shaft of steel/aluminium on the carpet beneath where the tripod had been standing. It widens out at one end and then comes to a point. In profile looks like an arrowhead. It must have come off the tripod, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it goes.
I still think this is a cracking bit of kit, but some of the shine has come off it for me now.
By G. R. Woolcock (Norfolk)
This is a super bit of kit and,for the money,it's astonishing.It's so light and easy to adjust in any direction and,when tightened,turns pretty rigid.Everything on it is quick and easy to use.If you went for a Manfrotto tripod or similar,you'd be lucky to get a second-hand one of this standard for this price.Its rigidity and lightness make it perfect for stills photography.One reviewer said it wasn't suitable for panning with a camcorder because the head moves stiffly and there's no lever.Well,he's right about the lever but,as for the stiffness,all you need do is slacken off the butterfly nut that grips the central column and the entire ball head will simply rotate left and right as freely as you like while still being fixed in the other planes.If you're undecided about whether to buy one,don't be,just click that mouse.

The carry bag is probably worth the purchase price so the monopod and delivery are free. The head is cheap and cheerful but holds my Canon EOS 500D + Battery grip and fairly heavy 75-300 zoom with ease. I took half a dozen test shots at 300 mm hand held, on the monopod and on a sturdy Benbo Mk1 tripod. The monopod allows sharp shots down to four stops slower than when hand-held and was only fractionally inferior to the tripod results. As it weighs next to nothing, this monopod can be carried for ever and will be taken to places where the tripod would be too heavy. At this price, who could ask for more?
By S. Arnold (UK)
This mono-pod is good value for money and well made. In my view a monopod is probably more practical for use with a camcorder than with a still camera. This product works very well for me and enables me to take much steadier clips. I have a steady hand but that's not good enough when filming, especially when using zoom.
The only problem I found was with the mono-pod's footrest, which got in the way, so I removed it and have found it far better that way (also easier to put in the case without it.)
Recommended.
By Kathirvel Vijayavel (Edinburgh, UK)
I bought this Monopod as my Sony HDR-XR106E does not have optical image stabilisation. I really needed something to hold the camera in a steady position. After various research on using counter balance solutions, I finally decided to go with this low cost Monopod. Bought it in the afternoon and recieved it the next morning!!! FREE Shipping too!
The product is not the most sturdy build, but for my purpose, it is a great price. I was playing around with the ways I can mount the Camcorder on this monopod. I realised, I can use it in many ways. Add some weights to the base and it balances itself, like a steady cam. Extend the leg and you can extend the reach of your camera like a boom mike holder! This can also help making travel documentaries where you can shoot yourself, walking and talking!
Hold it upside down and do doggie cam! People at my work are surprised by the low price and great quality of this Monopod! Thanks.
By Andy (Newport, Wales)
Ordered Tuesday evening arrived Thursday morning. Makes me wonder how fast you would have got it to me if I had paid for faster delivery. Well impressed!!
Item itself better quality than expected and is just what I wanted. To be honest I did not expect such a good product and such excellent service for just over a tenner.
Thank you very much.
By C. Fletcher
For £11 you should, by rights, get a broom handle with a notch in the top but this is just superb. It does exactly what it is meant to, it gives you that extra support when you need it without the fuss of setting up a tripod. It extends easily and extends high enough for all but the record breakingly tall and you get a bag to put it in to boot. It's one of those "it would be rude to not buy at this price" items. Excellent.
