Customer Reviews
The minute I took it out of the carrying bag the tripod was already busted. 2 of the metal straps that keeps the legs from spreading too far apart were broken above the camera bag hook. I'm still giving this tripod 3 stars because of my other Ravelli tripod that I bought earlier this year ( see my previous review ) this little Ravelli would have some potential if it wasn't for the busted straps, this little tripod would be another steal for the price. Everything on it is metal and plastic but it's lightweight, the panning is smooth, and it has a quick release plate for camera mounting other the fact that it's all plastic. The plate also tilt for vertical photography but I dont think that I would use a SLR with heavy lens in that position,maybe a small point and shoot.
Too bad that it has a busted part, because I've seen similar tripods for $50.00 or more at camera shops. This will be the first item that I've ever returned to Amazon and I'm still debating if I want a replacement or my money back. No problem with the seller ( Cheetah Mount ) as far as delivery, item did arrived ahead of schedule.
UPDATE: Did filed a claim to return the tripod, CheetahMounts contacted me a day later where they told me not to worry about sending the old one back and a new one was already on the way. That's what I call excellent customer service, bought from CheetahMounts before and will do so again in the future.
NEW UPDATE: Did received my replacements tripod from CheetahMounts last week and all is well, tripod is fine for less than $15.00 and once again, excellent service from CheetahMounts :)
This tripod is excellent sturdy and works well. The packaging however was extremely poor with included items not even in their packaging and rattling around in the box, whomever packaged it should be fired since packing it like that is bound to cost the company money with unnecessary returns and bad PR.
