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

      Excellent value! The tripod is pretty sturdy and easy to use, and has a fairly large adjustable range. It is of course not on the same level as the much higher priced carbon fiber tripods, but for the cost it is a superb item.
