Customer Reviews:
Good for the price!.......2007-12-14
Paying $25 for this tripod is worth it. It held my Nikon D200 quite well with a 18-200mm VR lens on it. Some moving parts are made of plastic and you probably cant abuse it like some other expensive ones out there...You should buy this tripod and determine how much usage you have before buying the more expensive one.
Time Marches On.......2007-10-28
The DF 40 stands next to my 35 year old, well beaten, much traveled VGB-3. The designs are very very similar. The methods are the same. The materials are largely the same, minor differences in some places due to weight, others due to improved materials (today), so (albeit few, IMO) for cost savings.
I've loaded the DF with the same "standard load" of camera, lens and other such that I used with the VGB. Then I added four pounds in lead bars.
Everything is stable, no wobble, no creaking or groaning.
I paid for quality in Velbon over three decades ago, and now have gotten quality AGAIN by purchasing Velbon.
That seems a pretty simple concept to me (G)

Cheap and extremely flimsy.......2007-09-27
I was so disappointed with this tripod, I guess you really do get what you pay for! However, that being said, the information for this listing suggested that this tripod was capable of holding up to 10 pounds, which would easily hold most DSLR's, but it is definitly too flimsy. This tripod is made for small point and shoot type cameras and small video camera's only. If you're looking for something to hold up your precious and very expensive DSLR, DO NOT buy this tripod, you will be disappointed! However, Amazon is awesome and this tripod arrived in record time and so far the return process seems absolutely simple!
Great tripod at any price--But the deal is what hooked me!!.......2007-05-29
I've been researching and pricing tripods for about a month now, but when this deal came along with free shipping, I couldn't resist. I have looked at the Velbon DF-40 in photo departments of stores and really like the versatility and quality of this model, and when I received my order from Amazon, several days early and in excellent condition, I was NOT disappointed. It does everything I need a tripod to do, and it's very easy to transport just about anywhere because of it's compact size. Super product form Velbon and super service from Amazon--Who could ask for more??

Huge bang for the buck!!!!.......2007-07-22
I didn't give it five stars because it's a really good tripod, not great. Having said that, Great Tripods cost $150 or better, Really Good Tripods will usually cost between $75-$100. At $30.00, this tripod is unbelievable.
Product Description
Our heavy-duty SkyView Pro EQ sets a new standard for stability, precision control, and affordability in a mount designed for the demanding amateur astronomer. A step up in rigidity and load capacity from the SkyView Deluxe mount, the "SVP" supports telescope tubes weighing up to 20 lbs. It is every bit the equal of venerable Japanese-made mounts but at less than half the price. Its all-metal head features enclosed 360-degree worm gears plus large, 86mm-diameter setting circles for easy object location by celestial coordinates. Telescopes attach via a quick-release dovetail plate (included). The head glides effortlessly in right ascension and declination. Dual slow-motion knobs allow manual fine control, and an optional TrueTrack single- or dual-axis DC drive can be added for electronic tracking and photographic guiding. Other features include an azimuth fine adjustment and a latitude scale. The mount accepts an optional polar-alignment scope.
Product Description
Our SkyView Pro equatorial head is now available on a beefy pier stand. In our tests, the pier edged out the tripod version of the SVP mount for stability, and that's no small feat! Credit the 4"-diameter steel pillar and the girder-like, 16.5" steel strut legs. The legs clamp on rigidly by means of just three bolts (total), for quick setup and take-down. Removable castors let you roll the mount on hard surfaces. Large leveling bolts on the legs provide a firm, level stance. Height at top of EQ head, 4' 1". Optional 16" Pier Extension available (ideal for refractor use). Weight, including counterweights, 73 lbs.
