Great tripod for the price March 22, 2010
Busy Executive (Long Island, NY)
I've owned this tripod a number of years, and it's always been one of my favorites. Although not hi-tech carbon fiber, it's lightweight and very stable, even with a heavy camera and lens. It extends to just under 5 feet tall, which puts my camera eyepiece at just the right height. Best of all to me is the way it folds flat, making it easy to travel with compared to most other brands - indeed, for this feature alone, it's worth having one.
Only minor complaint is that it sometimes gets difficult to operate in extremely cold weather. Otherwise, it always works smoothly and securely.
Highly recommended for a sanely priced high quality tripod.

So my old tripod had finally been done in. The legs didn't stay tightened anymore and it was time for a new one. I was looking for a tripod that I could easily fit in my existing backpack and didn't weigh me down. I took a chance on the Cullman Magic 2 and it is proving to be exactly what I was looking for.
Its unique design allows it to fold up into a compact rectangle which fits in my backpack perfectly w/ all my other camera equipment and any food I might be lugging with me.
It also has the ability to be turned into a monopod as well. Simply unscrew one of the legs and remove the piece w/ the camera mount and voila! This allows me to get clearer wildlife photos in the darker wooded areas & cloudy days then if I were shooting by hand. The ball and socket head allows for great range of motion too.
He likes his new camera, but is totally in love with this tripod! February 8, 2009

This is a unique design, but it works very well and is a high quality. It can be used raised a little and put on a table, it can be very tall, or it can be used with only one leg to steady your hand. My other half just likes playing with it! He loves it. The camera is nice, but the tripod is terrific!

I bought my Cullman Magic 2 tripod several years ago and have taken it around the world with me. It packs well and is extremely versatile. I love the ball head and ability to use it as a tripod or monopod. Since it is light, it might not be completely stable if you have a heavy camera or lens, but you can hang ballast (such as a camera bag) to the top to give it more weight and stability.
My only problem, which is why I give it only 4 stars, is that a year ago one of the joints became stuck and, after freeing it, I found that the bushing (or plastiuc washer or whatever) had become torn, which makes that one leg a little less stable. It still works, but I am more careful.
Given the many years of service it has given me, this is a great and innovative product.

This handy tripod is great! It folds up flat for easy transport in a backpack or even a briefcase. It unfolds into a full-sized tripod that also converts into a monopod! As you can see from the picture you can even mount your camera underneath for macro photography or for whatever reason you might want. It also has a quick detachable plate for mounting the camera to the tripod so you don't have to screw the camera onto the head every time. The head is a ball mount for positioning your camera in every conceivable direction. It's well built and solid. I definitely recommend this tripod.
