        The head broke completely off after a couple months. Horrible quality.

          Comments about Carson The Rock Deluxe Tripod w/ Quick Release 3-Way Head:

          I did not realize that this economy purchase had a bubble level indicator for the tripod and another for the camera angle.

          I am impressed with the snap locks on the legs and small turn locks for the camera tray.

          I recommend the product especially for amatures. Operation is intuitive. I would recommend it for more advance users but I do not know how much movement the parts can take before showing wear. As an engineer, I think they will endure considerable usage.
