Goldphoto tripods....any good?

[magal]

Hi chaps,
Came across Goldphoto tripods [on internet] and was surprised by how cheaply priced they are. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Does the price equate to cheap quality or is it a rare bargain?
Cheers
Mark

With out sounding like a smart alec you usually get what you pay for. I compromised a couple years ago and bought a Gitzo knock off for $500 and it was a horrible experience.

Near as I can tell, they appear to be identical to Manfrottos. It may be they are Manfrotto seconds. They are being sold at B&H so I think they might be a reasonable investment.
