Nice Tripod,
February 3, 2010 This review is from: Professional PRO 72" Super Strong Tripod With Deluxe Soft Carrying Case For The Nikon D5000, D3000 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
Other then simply needing a second tripod, I bought this tripod because of the 72'' length. I'm 5'9 and spend most of my days ducking under things or craning down, and this tripod is perfect because I don't have to do either.
The grip handle in between the legs made of hard plastic, is nice and sturdy for picking the unit up on the move.
The head is able to snap off and then lock back into place via a lever on the back.
The three legs, the tops of which are encased in a non slip padding, extend for the additional tripod height, and the head/platform extends upwards via a crank on the side.
There is a small water level on one of the legs that indicates when the three legs are, well, level.
You can swivel the platform around a full 360 as well as tilt it up or down.
The carrying case is plain and is not padded, though it does feature an adjustable strap.
The one downfall which doesn't really bother me, is that...

Bad crank,
August 27, 2010 This review is from: Professional PRO 72" Super Strong Tripod With Deluxe Soft Carrying Case For The Nikon D5000, D3000 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
The crank handle to raise and lower the unit broke the day I got it. I assume it's from low quality plastic. The company that sold it to me only handles customer service issues online, and since I sent a message to them about it about three weeks ago, and still have not received correspondence. I fear the company (DB Roth) has poor customer service. I am also afraid they may be stalling until the return policy expires for this unit. I'm sure that usually these products are not bad but this one was a giant flop with very poor customer service. Thumbs down.

Good sturdy tripod,
October 8, 2009 This review is from: Professional PRO 72" Super Strong Tripod With Deluxe Soft Carrying Case For The Nikon D5000, D3000 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
It's a great tripod. I'm 5'10" and I don't need to extend the 3rd leg extension
which make the tripod really sturdy. It's just a bit long when folded (26 inches).
