Here is a review of my new tripod which I bought off ebay last week.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=200107953112&rd=1&rd=1
with shipping it was £36.12.
Sent me an email to confirm shipment. Arrived this morning.
Nicely packaged.
The outer box was full of pink polystyrene shapes to help against knocks.
All the documents were there including a customs one.
A slight odour comes from the tripod but I assume that is just the oil/lubricant on the legs.
Everything is in the box and the bag has a seperate pocket for heads etc.
The legs are very sturdy and will take up to 6kg. The centre column is removable and reversable so low level shooting is possible. At nearly 6ft high this should be high enough even for you giants out there.
On the whole I think I have got myself a bargain from Amvona and I will definately use them again. Just wished I had ordered a ball head too.
If you use their auction site you can basically pick up items for next to nothing.
Its not a manfrotto or a gitzo but Its darn near like it for a fraction of the cost.
Hope this is useful
