Purchased my 2nd Ambico Tripod 5 weeks ago. The first one I had lost the lower leg (it just fell out while I was walking). I had only used it about 15-20 times, but figured it was just "one of those things that happens" occasionally.
Bought a 2nd one 5 weeks ago. Used it 3 times, and the lower leg fell out. Attempted to fix it, but cannot make it tight up enough to stay it.
Will never buy another Ambico product again. They may be well priced, but even at $20 or so, I don't want to replace them everytime I do some photography!
Had this tripod for about 3 yrs. The crank broke off so we cannot extend the height of the tripod. Emailed Ambico as the box states it has a lifetime warranty. No reply even after emailing them twice.
i got this tripod a while back for free (not a good model came with a camera bag or somthing). I clip it to my camera bag and go it's very light. if you use a heavey bodied camera on it you probly will snap it (it wobbes when i but my elan on it)
Strengths:
-very light weight
-cheap (if not free)
-movelble head
-for the price not bad at all!
Weaknesses:
-not srong at all
-no level
-for the price not bad at all!
i bought the tripod because i thought it was a good deal, but i was mistaken. the tripod pivots and it swings from a 0 degree angle to a 90 degree angle, but when it is at 0, it is off by at least five degrees
Strengths:
it is strong, and it doesn't wobble, plus the built in level is very useful
Weaknesses:
the swinging platform, as well as the metal dents very easily
i purchased a ambico tripod v-0552 and used it for about a month,the plastic piece that mounts to the camcorder broke the second time i used it. i do like the tripod but its useless without the plastic piece. i have tryed several places to get parts but no help. as far as going back to sears well i cant say enough,when your looking to spend money its the place to go but when your looking for help after the sale forget it they are useless.
