Did you receive protective rubber tips for the heavy duty tripod.?

HeyIt didn't come with it, but I bought their vibration control pods that serve the same function and more...

No, I believe the rubber tips are a separate item. The tripod legs have metal tips.

Yes there is indeed an improvement. The one I purchased from Amazon, windage adjustment,broke off in no time. I called the manufacturer to complain & they sent me a whole new tripod free of charge claiming they wanted to make sure of customer satisfaction.Very pleased with new one.

I don't feel that way at all. At first I thought there was a pin missing but quickly realized it wasan "operator" error. I use my tripods all the time. They are handy for wiggly littles. For the price I feel the value is great!

One of the legs is marked :SLIK U9000" in large red letters. That's the only number I can find on the tripod.

Thanks, Luckybook. I have got mine from amazon yesterday. It is fantastic. I have prepared tripod, carrying case, a 1G memor stick pro duo for it and they all fit well. Voila~~

Mine do have rubber tips, about 1" down the hook. it is the same color as the copper hooks. This protects the copper from marks while hanging on metal rack. I love them. It is so well done, you might not notice the tips.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

Can't answer as I have the tripod that was sent in error instead of the bipod that they allowed me to keep.

No. Mine came in a box. This tripod is VERY light weight. I couldn't use it with my canon rebel for fear of it falling over.

Has anyone figured out how to contact the manufacturer? Ours came with a screw missing! The tripod cannot be brought to its full height without it...

You can buy it extra... I don't know if the one I got was defective but it would not hold the camera still (when attached the camera would still be able to rotate freely on the tripod).

Yes, I have, but you want a very sturdy tripod, as the camera and the pack and a lens adds a lot of weight.

Yes it does,but beware you get what you pay for. A leg came out where it joins at the top, I grabbed my camera before it hit the ground,I have bought a new tripod,

there were two tripods in the package I received. One was a flexible one, maybe 3" tall and one was a plastic one that was maybe 9" tall. Both were very cheaply made and I have not used either.

None. There is no specific tripod mount feature. You'd just have to rest it on something.

Having owned two of these, and about to order my third, I can answer the question = to best of my knowledge, NO. After repeated searches on line, and at local stores, I went an alternate route. I found some chair leg/tip protectors that were really inexpensive. they come four to a box so I have plenty of spares. To avoid losing another rubber tip, however, I use black electrical tape to secure the tips. As I use my walking stick as a cane, however go, have found that even with the tape, a tip can be lost via shopping carts (wire mesh catches It). So, be careful. Hope this helps.
