Rating: - Great tripod, Great price, Go Amazon
Great tripod from Sony. Remote control in handle works great, very sophisticated yet simple. I had a Vivitar tripod but it is not worthy and decided to stick to Sony (I own a TRV-70 Sony camcorder and I am buying a Sony digital camera Cybershot DSCH1 also from Amazon). When I received the box, it had an oppening, you could stick your hand inside! But I was glad that Amazon warns you in respect: "This item may be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging, which could reveal the contents of the box". Everything in place. I want to give another star to Amazon for the speedy delivery although I ordered under Free Super Saver Shipping on the night of July 17th. Thought it would take forever but was surprised on the morning 22nd. In 5 days (with free shipping) I had it on my hands! Go Amazon

Rating: - Amazing Tripod. Works with non-Sony digital camera as well
This tripod is simply amazing. It is light-weighted enough (1.3kg or 2 lbs & 14 oz) that you would not feel burdened at all when you take it out for a hiking. Moreover, it works on other types of cameras instead of limiting it on Sony's products exclusively. I tried my 5 years old Olympus 2020 digital camera and it stayed there rock-solid. Keep in mind, however, that the attached remote only works with Sony-branded cameras/camcorders since the remote requires you to plug a cable into the equipment that you intend to use. I also try my newly bought Sony Camcorder Mini-DV DCR-HC42 and it worked flawlessly. The included air bubble was an ingenious device in that it allows you to see whether the tripod is level with respect to the floor. Thus, even if the floor is uneven, you can always find the best balanced spot by looking at the air bubble that's directly beneath the tripod's center leg. Like another reviewer said, this tripod gives the user almost unlimited control in that you can rotate it any angle you want, and with a range between 19 - 57 inches (or 48 -145 cm), it can almost satisfy any kind of everyday use. Finally, it was great to buy from Amazon because most people on ebay is selling roughly the same price, minus the great return policy from Amazon.

Rating: - Great Tripod
I purchased this tripod at Circuit City. When I got home, I decided to check the price here at Amazon.com and found it to be a total of 38.18 cheaper than Circuit City. I had already hooked up both my DSC-F828 still cam and my DCR-HC20 to it, and it worked like a charm. So I packed it back in the box and returned it... got home and ordered it from Amazon. I have yet to receive the product, but I already know I like it. Also love the shoulder strap and the fact that the tripod doesn't feel like it's going to fall over under the weight of my F828.
