Broken out of the box The minute I took it out of the carrying bag the tripod was already busted. 2 of the metal straps that keeps the legs from spreading too far apart were broken above the camera bag hook. I’m still giving this tripod 3 stars because of my other Ravelli tripod that I bought earlier this year ( see my previous review ) this little Ravelli would have some potential if it wasn’t for the busted straps, this little tripod would be another steal for the price.

RAVELLI APLT4-A LIGHTWEIGHT DRESSED IN HEAVY CLOTHING Purchased two of these Ravelli APLT4 tripods that are to be used for a mobile quick interior set-up of two off camera Nikon SB-910 flash units and umbrellas.

There is nothing cheap or flimsey either on these Ravelli model APLT4, but a great quality tripod for the average rigors of amateur’s and some pro photographers. In truth, while these tripods might not stand the extreme torture test of some heavy pounding…
