Deluxe Smart Shop UK Accessory STARTER KIT For The Kodak Easyshare Z981 Digital Camera

Seller was prompt filling this order. Product arrived in good time and packaged well. However, I purchased this kit for two items - the camera bag and the "full size" tripod. If you are looking for a cheap end accessory kit, then this might be a good bargain. However, I was looking for a decent case and a sturdy tripod. Neither of these are in this kit. The included camera bag is barely big enough for my Z981 let alone acessories (batteries, lenses, charger, etc). The tripod included is thin, not very sturdy and is not standard full height (only 50 inches rather industry standard 72 inches). Now I must go out and buy yet another camera bag and tripod - this is what I was trying to avoid. Also don't know if I can or should return this item as they (DBROTH) charges a restock fee. The other items in the kit look pretty cheapily made also (China??). This will be the last item I buy from DBROTH. Be cautious - if the price doesn't sound right for what you're looking for, it probably isn't the right buy for you.

I bought this for the Kodak Z981. The main selling point for me was the price in comparison to what others were selling a tripod for. I was originally in the market for a tripod and camera case but then found this deal. The camera case does fit the camera but I will need to get a bigger case as this does not allow much room for other accessories. There are pockets on the outside of the case for small accessories.

The main tripod is okay quality. I love the fact that the tripod camera mount comes off so that way it is easy to put on off the tripod. The tripod also comes with a case. It is nothing I would put a heavy camcorder on but for my type of photography it is a great deal.

The other accessories seem to be of good quality for the price. This is a great value for the money in comparison to what others are charging. Super fast shipping, ordered Sept 15 in the pm, received it on Sept 20. This also included a weekend so I would definitely order from this company in the future.

Was pleasantly surprised at the large tripod, very useable, lightweight, telescoping legs makes for multiple needs of uneven surfaces out of doors or tabletop to floor model and use of timer for group photos so you can include yourself in photo for a change. Comes with a black poly/nylon-like bag with a carry cord for over the shoulder. I suppose if you had a professional large TV station type of camera or video cam this might be too light weight for such a hefty piece of equipment...but then these pros would not be trusting such a low priced tripod to their unit that probably costs many hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

>>the Little camera bag tripod is sturdy to use & handy for those shots of longer exposure to steady the camera on most any surface from a fence to wrap the legs around to a solid surface.

>>Cleaner kit is large full sized pieces.

>>The SD card holder pockets are great idea but poor design as somewhat small netting with elastic band edge and only holds 3, so the case that encloses the SD card better not be much larger than the card itself or it will not fit in this thing. I really don't think you would want to put the card itself in these net pockets without a case unless you are going to wrap it in a piece of thin bubble wrap or something to protect it. I sew, so I think I will remake the pockets using larger netting piece & allow for thicker longer case of most all SD card cases or just make my own from scratch to fit plastic case of SD cards. OR the other use might be to put extra batteries in this to velcro case around them to prevent clanging around in bag.

>>Screen protectors are only 3 in container and must be cut to size of your LCD screen of your camera. I also used one on my large screen of my LG touch screen phone I got for Christmas from US Cellular, & it works great & easy to cut as it has a graph of lines & measuring numbers printed on paper backing.

>>the camera bag is a thin unpadded small bag so, probably not for anyone needing a sturdy carrying case for a larger camera than those tiny 3" X 4" cameras with it's accessories. (Certainly NOT for a Kodak Z981 so I was glad someone got me the Zeikos ZE-CA48B Deluxe Soft Medium Camera and Video Bag available at Amazon which is more than roomy with space on side of camera for the padded separator piece that velcros onto sides & creates an area for cords & camera book, PLUS it has two outside end pockets for batteries or SD cards with netting pockets on the outside of those as well, and a full length outside netting pocket on back side!) www.amazon.com/Zeikos-ZE-CA48B-Deluxe-Medium-Camera/dp/B001T9N120/ref=pd_sim_e_9

>>Cleaning cloths are quite nice, I even used it on our large flat screen Plasma TV.
All in all for the price of less than twenty, it is a good package & I would recommend it.
