Pros

The u9000 has the twist foot with metal tip for outdoor use. The larger quick plate is even better for mounting flash and umbrella bracket.

The slik brand tripod was referred to me by a professional photographer. It is very sturdy and i love the different motions that you can put it through while still feeling like your camera is secure. It's sturdy enough to steadily and safely hold my h...  Read More

The slik is strong, but lightweight. Easy to assemble. More durable than most in price range.



Cons

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The crank handle broke off a few days ago and there are several other reviews here mentioning broken and cracked plastic parts

    If you baby this and are extremely careful with it it should last you quite a while but you may want to spend a bit more on something that will not break and have to be replaced several times

    I had a wal mart cheapo before buying one of these that broke just because it was cheap plastic
