Title: Velbon Tripod
Product review: Excellent tripod. I was getting soft focus images with an inexpensive Promaster 6100 tripod with an Olympus E510 shooting the 70-300 mm zoom lens with a 2x converter. The focus was even soft with the 40-150 kit zoom lens. With this tripod and same camera set ups the focus is sharp. The tripod is easy to set up. I have used it in its lowest configuration for macro flower shots to its fully extended set up. I have not tried it fully extended (with the extension tube) with the 70-300 lens, but is works great with the 40-150 and 14-42 kit zoom lenses. With the 70-300 lens I keep the extension tube down.I also purchased the Manfrotto 323 R62 Rapid Connect Adapter for use on this tripod. The quick release takes a little jiggling to get it to work smoothly on the tripod's head but that really isn't a problem for me. I may in the future get a ball head.
