Here's a link: http://www.adorama.com …20/%20Monopods%20/%20Accs Any opinions on these? The specs look nice, and the price is pretty reasonable, IMO. Thanks. I just saw this there myself and came back here to do a search, of course. I'm also very interested if anyone has any experience with this brand. I may head up to adorama tomorrow to check them out, but this would be my first tripod so I'm not sure I have the knowledge to benchmark them. Still rockin the silver xti

Tomorrow will be the true test (photog day trip), but so far, it is very functional and very solid. It feels so well built, and the ball head is nuts!!! Compared to any other tripod I have used, it is well worth the money. Doubleshot Photography

kartik Member 57 posts Joined Mar 2007 More info | So far I was unable to find a User review on the Net. How was your experience with tripod/monopod. I am quite interested in Monopod at the moment but can even buy the Tripod if it gets good review. The equipment I hope to support is Sigma 100-300 F4 and hopefully within a year 500mm (which screams for a tripod).

sloonz Member 124 posts Joined Dec 2008 Location: Phoenix, AZ More info | Jun 11, 2009 14:28 | #14 Judging by the pictures, similar specs, and relatively low price I would think that the Flashpoint tripods are the same as the Amvona.com/Dynatran "enDurance" tripods. Someone would have to do a tearedown review to know for sure though. Either way, I've been very happy with my enDurance AT-A102T carbon tripod. Canon 40D | 50 1.4 | 18-135 |24-105L | Sunpak PZ42x
