Dolica AX620B100 Tripod

locky · 22nd of October 2010 (Fri)

Earlier this week I purchased the Dolica AX620B100 tripod off of Amazon for $40.00. I have used it now for 3 photo shoots and I have to say this is probably the best new tripod you can get for that price. I thought about getting a better named brand one but my biggest problem is most of my shoots involve sand and water. It is going to be a lot easier for me to stick my $40 tripod down in wet sand than it would be with a $200+ one. I will be using it a couple more times this weekend and hopefully it keeps performing great. The one thing that I did notice is the leg clips do seem cheap. Hope this helps someone out who's looking for a decent tripod on a budget.

Strangely Amazon seems to have a problem with the Dolica tripod, it's under review according to their website.

I'd be interested to find out what the problem is ?

You'll notice it's still able to be purchased from PC Universe via Amazon, maybe this is what you did or you might have got it from Amazon before they stopped selling it directly.

I was raising the point, there might be some quality or design issue with the tripod, if Amazon has it under review.

Ill second on the bargan for that tripod. I pack it with me on hikes and not afraid to get it wet or dirty. And it will hold up my 70-200 fine. Any larger of a lens though ya might wanna change out the ball mount for a sturdier one.

Read the one and two-star reviews. The QR mechanism seems to be faulty, resulting in cameras and the ground combining in an unfortunate and expensive manner.
