Bad design - should have returned. Cannot be tilted to full 90' for portrait orientation. Crank handle very delicate.

Comments about Slik U8000 Tripod with 3-Way Pan / Tilt Head (Quick Release) - Supports 4.40 lb (2.00 kg):
Holds any camera I have. Lightweight and the price was right. However, as others have reported, the crank lever broke off with just a little pressure, but I can still raise it using my fingers. Cheap construction on the crank. I'd advise to be very careful using the crank lever.

Comments about Slik U8000 Tripod with 3-Way Pan / Tilt Head (Quick Release) - Supports 4.40 lb (2.00 kg):
This has been my only tripod for several years, although it hasn't seen much use. It seems reasonably well built overall for the price, but I've had two problems with it. First, the lever broke off the crank for raising and lowering the center column. This isn't that big a deal since it's still possible to adjust the height, but annoying nonetheless. Second, the anti-rotation pin on the quick-release plate isn't in the right position to work with my Olympus E-620. This isn't a problem for horizontal shots, but when you flip the head over for vertical shots, heavier lenses make the camera unscrew from the quick-release plate. If the pin fit right or they had designed the head to flip the other direction, this wouldn't have been a problem.
