Summary: An excellent value, but the shipping cost was high
Comment: I have a very small camera (a Canon SD450) and find this tripod to be a perfect match. It is light and small and easy to carry with the included canvas case. It has a few nice features that I didn't expect (even though I read the text!) like the bubble level on the platform.
This product is an excellent value. However, the shipping cost as much as the tripod. Of course, that is not the tripod's fault.

Summary: Awesome, perfect light tripod!
Comment: I really looked hard at the various light (sub-3 lb) tripod options to use with my Canon Powershot S2 IS. Lighter the better, but I also really wanted a 3-way pan head and all of the little nice extras that I could get: bubble level, quick set-up/tear-down, fits inside of carry-on luggage, good build quality, comes with a bag, good hand crank, etc.
It definitely fit the bill perfectly, and was ONLY 2 lbs! Of course you don't get super strong wind-proof stability at that weight, but I was really quite happy with the overall stability on my recent vacation. When there was a strong wind, I leaned a bag, backpack, or beach towel around one of the legs and that gave me more piece of mind... but I think it probably would have been fine... especially when not fully extended to max height.
Before buying it, the max height was actually my only real concern -- would it be tall enough to take good people pictures/outdoor portraits while I was on my vacation? My experience says -- Yes, great people shots (and so much better than the typical shot you get by asking a passing by stranger to take a photo for you)!
Don't hesitate, just buy this one!

Summary: Love it!
Comment: I received this tripod for Christmas and I am totally delighted with it! It comes with a case and is small and light enough for me to carry. In just a few days use, it has made a difference on my low light level and non-flash photos.
