Every major part of this tripod is made of plastic. I was looking for a 72-inch tripod that I could carry around to conventions and other remote events I shot that was lighter than the metal Manfoto tripods that I have. Given its low price, I was actually surprised at how well this one works. It is sturdy and I've been careful not to bang it around or work the crank too hard. Overall, you can't beat it for the cheap price.

It has plastic components, but is very sturdy. I've had no issues. It's a great tripod for the price.

By the way there is an old saying. If the camera cost 100 dolllars don't trust any tripod to do the job. Those flimsy plastic jobs aren't worth a hill of beans. You might take a look lat this one Ravelli APGL4 New Professional 70" Tripod with Adjustable Pistol Grip Head and Heavy Duty Carry BagI bought this one.

Handles are removable. Have had tripod for a year and no wear and tear on handles is apparent.I would guess replacement parts are available.Ron

It is plastic. I don't really reccomend it though. On ours the battery didn't work and it broke within a month. It just wasn't good quality.

Everything but the legs seems to be made of some sort of plastic. The tripod is quiet sturdy nonetheless.

The part that wraps around the metal ball head is plastic. It it were made out of metal, it would be too heavy for my monopod.

It is mostly made of fairly high grade material. I would not call it plastic, it is a fairly strong material. It would be practically impossible to break this piece. The screw to attach to the camera is metal and some of the parts to hold it in place (it is adjustable) are metal.

Hi Mark. The release lever and the wing nut to adjust tilt is plastic. Everything else is metal. I must say, I am very much satisfied with my oben tripod monopod and heads.

It is heavy plastic and does not fit my flash very well. I do not use mine.

Hi Piyush. The majority of the unit is made of cheap plastic. Parts of it are stainless steel and that's why I made the purchase. I thought it would be a quality item. However, just lifting it out of the box by the handle made the handle break right off. I super glued it back on but when filling up the individual containers with seasonings, the clear cover caved in and my seasoning spilled right out. This is not a purchase I would make if I could do it again.

It's plastic. But, I'm pleased with it. I've never used a Nikon grip, so I cannot compare. But, user reviews were mostly positive about it, so I saved myself a BUNDLE OF BUCKS. You might not want to use it on a tripod with heavy lenses, possibly too much stress on the plastic construction. FYI, on my Nikon D800 if there's no battery in the grip, the camera won't shoot.

The handle is made of plastic and metal. The black parts are plastic, but it's really heavy duty material, better than what they make cars out of.

It is made of hard molded plastic. My only problem with the pool...otherwise I loved it...is the umbrella is made of a thin plastic, it had a hole within a few days but I put tape on it and it worked fine.

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.

I own this and it is made of plastic, however the grip is very sturdy for what it is. The look matches the design of the body so they coincide nicely.

I would not depend on this tripod to make the trip. Lots if plastic that does not hold together well. Only used mine around the house / yard and it started falling apart on day 6.
