    After looking at various ones in Jacobs Digital and Jessops I concluded this was the right tripod for me. Although these companies had them on show, they didn't have stock!

    It's very sturdy legs are what I was after, and with the quick release clips it's easy to set up too (others similar ones have screws). The head, which I've read poor reviews on, is fine and can easily be replaced later if required.

    My old tripod was one from Tescos, for about £ 20. It's fine for light work, holding a video camera etc. But now I've got a Canon 7D with 70-200mm L series lens the weight is too much. Simply put, it wobbles terribly and especially when it's windy. Looking at improved tripod options there were ones around the £ 50 mark in the camera shops which were better, but felt fragile. One showed me a very famous branded tripod, which was without doubt excellent, but much more expensive than this but not any more stable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and elegant
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2012

    I broke the locking mechanism of my previous tripod (a free gift when I bought my Nikon D3100) when trying to lock its leg, so I decided that I would like a new tripod with better quality. Honestly speaking, I have not expected a good tripod could make such a big difference. The tripod, needless to say, feels very solid in-hand, and looks very nice. The locking mechanism, which I pay extra attention to, feels exceptionally good - there is just the right amount of resistance when you push it or lift it. The image taken also appears to be slightly sharper on this tripod.

    I do agree with the other reviewer that the head is a bit troublesome to setup. It really takes quite some time to fine adjust the position, otherwise the tripod is perfect.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2015

    I've owned this for 2 years now and have used it at the top of large buildings, in heavily wooded areas, out in open urban areas, inside function rooms and also indoors for portrait photography. It has always performed as expected and I've never had a reason to doubt its general capability.

    I like how the head end can be angled and adjusted depending on the circumstance. The overall height/reach is good and can make for some interesting shots. Although it's sturdy enough, I wouldn't leave it unattended for too long because it would likely topple over if a gust of wind or careless person came along.

    My only complaint is that the pan/tilt arm grip started falling apart after a few uses, forcing me to use tape to keep it intact. It still functions exactly the same after 2 years, which tells me it was worth the money compared to some of the cheaper alternatives I'd used previously.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly well built but mine was defective
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this because it is sturdy, not too heavy and allows a good choice of angles.
    Upon unpacking it it seemed mostly well built, the leg locking was excellent.

    The head, however, had a defect. The head can tilt to place the camera in landscape or portrait mode, and the handle for this adjustment is delivered screwed into the end of the other handle. I unscrewed the landscape/portrait tilt handle from there and screwed it into the head, and found that it didn't actually 'bite' to give any real locking action. The head can be tilted between landscape and portrait with a bit of friction without the handle screwed up, but with it screwed in there was still not much friction. The handle turns uselessly with ease, the thread in the head appears to be almost nonexistent.

    The pan/tilt handle works perfectly and a small amount of screwing up gives a satisfactory lock to the head so it looks as if the thread inside the head for the landscape/portrait lock was defective on mine.

    I've returned this one.

    Three stars given, but it would have been an easy four without this defect which I assume is simply a fault with the thread cutting.

    I have previously only owned budget tripods. While this one was a little more expensive, it was easy to tell that it was streets ahead of anything I had previously owned. Versatile, Steady, Smooth and yet still light enough to carry around easily, and I'm 80 years old. There is no doubt in my mind, that it was an excellent purchase.

    Bought this as an upgrade from a Manfrotto Compact model. Quality is good, the comments about the head are unfounded, slightly heavier than I anticipated but just what I was after - a steady and easily manoeuvrable head to pan and set for macro work.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable tripod but room for improvement
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This tripod was my first heavy-duty one, replacing an old lightweight one.

    I find the tripod easy to use. The legs extend easily, and the locks hold very firmly. So far, I have used this tripod standing on concrete, wet sand, and grass; it has performed admirably, and has allowed me to get some good shots. Even in quite windy conditions, the tripod has remained very stable. I have only used it in the basic layout, and have yet to experiment with opening the legs wider, angling the centre post or inverting it.

    However...

    While the tripod is good, the acccompanying head is a disappointment. The quick-release D ring in the back is often a bit too quick to release. Unless you are using the camera in landscape mode, I find the D-ring will not hold the camera in place (particularly if using a zoom lens). If you do get the ring tightened enough to stay, the D-ring will then not return to the flat position, making it impossible to attach the plate to the tripod. My suggestion is to ignore the folding D-ring and take a hefty screwdriver with you instead - it save you mangling the edges of your coins!

    Also, be aware that the matching Giotto's bag will hold the tripod, but will only take the head if you unscrew one of the handles on the head, which adds to the time needed to set it up.

    Overall, a reasonable tripod and head, but with definite room for improvement.

    Giotto MTL9351 B Treppiede + MH5011 kit tre teste. Ho acquistato questo kit in sostituzione del precedente treppiede, troppo limitato per la mia nuova Canon EOS 60D con obiettivo 70/300 mm. La costruzione è decisamente solida e conferisce al treppiede una notevole stabilità, in tutte le condizioni di utilizzo. Notevoli le possibilità di regolazione: oltre ai tre assi della testa inclusa nel kit, la barra centrale può essere estratta ed inclinata fino a quasi 180°, il che può essere molto utile per la fotografia macro o per inquadrature da angolazioni inusuali. Il peso non è trascurabile, ma rimane comunque ampiamente gestibile (circa 2 Kg). Molto interessante anche l'estensione in altezza, da pochi centimetri a circa 160, il tutto regolabile molto comodamente mediante leve a sblocco rapido: niente di particolarmente innovativo, ma rispetto alla concorrenza (Manfrotto, ecc.) il prezzo è davvero interessante. Davvero una bella sorpresa: raccomandato per chiunque cerchi una soluzione semi-pro ad un prezzo ragione

    Muy robusto y con posibiidad de muchos reglajes para diferentes posiciones. Como único pero, una de las fijaciones de las patas extensibles se ha aflojado (debe ser cosa del tornillo que lleva) y si la apretas se cierra. Con el peso de una camara y objetivos, aun siendo pesados, no llega a ceder nada.
