It is made out of aluminum. Light enough to carry around the whole day yet still very sturdy. The aluminum ball head actually performs well. Once you’ve got the desired angle and lock it in place, the camera will stay on that angle until you release the lock unlike my 20 usd tripod. Im using a d80 with 18-270mm lens attached. That’s about 1.2kg weight. The tripod is rated by the manufacturer to handle up to 13 lbs of equipment. Other features are a quick release plate, 2 bubble levels ( one on the head and the other on the legs), user replaceable aluminum tripod head, a threaded weight hook and spiked feet. The tripod can also converted so you can take macro shots. The legs can be locked in position independent of one another. With all these features plus great performance, this tripod is a steal!
One minor hiccup, the plastic on the leg clamps, while not cheap, isnt top of the line. But they get the job done so it a no issue for me

If you’re a professional photographer, go look at Manfrotto or some of the other high end brands. If you’re an amateur photographer looking for a good tripod that won’t cut into your lens budget, then look no further.
The ball head is nice, but is sometimes a bit unwieldy, and difficult to set. Sometimes you have to crank down the tightening nut a lot to get it to stay. The snaps that extend the legs are plastic feel cheap, but what can you expect from such an inexpensive tripod?
On the good side, you are getting a ball head tripod, with legs that can be extended past their typical angle. They also have nice padding on them which is great in the Northern climates when you have to work without gloves. The tips of the legs can be rotated to reveal spikes for difficult terrain, and there’s two bubble levels: one on the legs of the tripod, and one on the actual ball head. There’s also a compass, if you need that utility. Even with all that, you still get a pretty nice carrying case.
If you’re looking for a high quality, professional grade tripod, this probably isn’t the one for you. But if you’re an amateur on a budget, you probably won’t find a better tripod for under $150.

Great tripod with performance legs that spread low and wide for macro work for the price. The quick release plate, quick flip lever leg release and lock, bubble levers, and a good tripod case besides being light and compact is great. The weak area for this tripod is the weak strength of the legs when fully extended, it has too much play but great for P&S digitals O.K. for small dSLR with small lens.

My Dolica Proline AX620B100 came in a huge box from Amazon. I opened it and there was a smaller box inside which was my Tripod box with a bunch of brown recycling papers around it they used for padding.
I took out the silver box with a white font saying PROLINE on it, opened it and saw my tripod bag. The tripod bag is very neat and well stitched, I can see it will eventually last for a long time. The strap is firm and I can wear it all day without it hurting me. There is one small pocket inside the tripod, I unzipped the pocket and found this octagon screwdriver inside, I was wondering what this tripod needed it for. I looked around my tripod and saw a octagon shaped screw on the ball head, I am guessing it’s for removing the ball head if a replacement is needed.
I unzipped the bag and took out my tripod. The tripod itself is very light, it must weigh a little over 2 lbs. The tripod feels sturdy and stable, there are these soft squishy padding that wraps around the top of each leg and one of them says PROLINE in front of it. At the bottom of each legs are rubber feet and hiding it are small metal spikes that you twist the feet for it to come out. Twist it in the opposite direction to hide them back so it doesn’t wear out if you’re using it on cement. Most of it is aluminum but there are some plastic too but the plastic aren’t cheap and are decent at least. There’s also a hook at the bottom of the long pole extension between the 3 legs, you can add weight to it to weigh down the tripod.
The best thing about this tripod is the cool ball head, you can adjust it to shoot vertically or horizontally and move the camera to shoot up and down, and what’s great is there is only one lever you need to pop out to adjust this. I went on a photo shoot yesterday with my tripod at the Japanese garden in my community college and it is great. The instructions say it can hold up to a little over 13 lbs, but I don’t know if it’s just the tripod itself or the head. Another thing I know is the head is actually good and looks like it can hold a quite a weight, but I question if it can actually hold 13.
It’s really fast to take out your camera from your tripod and re-attach it. There’s this lever that you need to press along with another button to remove it, you just need to pop the camera back onto the tripod and the lever will pop back in it’s place securing your camera.
There’s also a small compass on the tripod too although I will probably never need it.
This tripod is well worth the price. This is the first tripod I have bought. My friend has a Sunpak tripod that I use before I bought my own, and all I can say is my tripod is much better than his for the money. I did research before I bought my tripod and because I ended up buying this tripod, I knew this tripod wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t.

This is a very solid piece of camera equipment. I ordered it one day and it arrived two days later. Very fast shipping. The tripod itself is built solid, made out of black aluminum. The real beauty of this tripod is the excellent ball head mount at the top. The ball head mount allows a quick and easy means to point your camera is virtually any direction and orientation by just loosening/tightening one screw. That combined with the quick detach mount on the head allows you to have your camera on or off the tripod in a matter of seconds, an invaluable assistance to a photographer on the go. I can’t recommend this tripod enough. Its worth much more than its price, I’d suggest you snag one while you can. For a more complete review visit [...]
