Speaking the truth, don't think the tripods are even certified totally by canon. Felt it was some warehouse left overs that no one wanted years ago and they are giving it away today. The plastic is horribly moulded. the aluminium legs are ok. The mount is terrible. Quick release, will just cause your camera to pop and drop on the floor. Not rigid at all.Ouch. Canon company will be heartbroken to hear comments like these. Haha.

canon company wont be heartbroken...they earn so much from selling accessories like lens hood and tripod collars...free lousy tripods dun mean anything to them!
Yeah...a freebie not worth to be a freebie. Haha...i thought they woul give a better tripod. If not i would have asked for something else. Who bought cameras at COMEX 2008? Did you guys take the 120gb HDD...looks like crap and i wonder if it can survive at all...haha...luckly i asked for something else, other than a cheapo 120gb HDD.haha thats why its a freebie!
LOL...don't bother....sell it as scrap metal. Go buy a real tripod!Something wrong with my tripod i think.. yesterday i trying it out.. Turn the knob too much, something drop out, and i re-attach it back, but don't know same place or not..

Wah uncle...wo bu shi rich hor.You may not bother but other people do. Maybe you can sponser a real tripod for him :bsmilie:
So not recommended to put your camera on it again. Besides, went to your flikr. Sorry to say, but your 1st picture is a little out of focus and has quite some handshake. Try getting a battery grip. Works good to counter these effects. Anyway, good job! Continue to take good pictures.Updated.
I think the thing that dropped out is a bolt or something like that.. XP

I actually bought my camera from COMEX 2008. I was working there. So i practically got the guy to change most of the freebies to more useful ones. Except the darn tripod. I should have changed that as well..haha..hahaha gman, my thoughts exactly! for me, buying at the comex with all the freebies actually not very worth it sia...coz u sort of pay for the freebies but look like u got a bargain...in fact the freebies are so **** its no point! i think best time is during such fairs, ask the big dealers for quotes, will get even cheaper n better deals...
eleventh...yeah, switching to full frame will be a pain! thats why i try not to buy EFS lens...coz i got film SLR then also can use the lens if i ever decide to shoot film...
