A Great Tripod

Advantages: Great piece of equipment for great photos
Disadvantages: Sometimes can get blown about a little if the winds too strong

...I bought my Vanguard VT 133 about 2 years ago from a local camera shop that was closing down so I got this product brand new for about £15.99 when other shops where selling it at about £50.00 mark, some lower, some shops slightly higher. The tripod was bought not long after I had purchased my camera from the same shop. The tripod is fully complete and has a quick release system and tilts in the direction you would want all with a nice hand controlled lever, which is very easy to use making this very convenient to use as a travelling companion Fully folded this tripod closes upto around 21 inches and is very light to carry around.. I have both a Nikon F65 35mm SLR and a Sharps Video camera,, also for a period had the used of a medium format camera from the college where I attend.. This tripod well suited all cameras used on this...

Lycos Tripod domain transfere registration is A Joke

Advantages: absolutely none
Disadvantages: A to Z

...Well If anyone is thinking about signing up with Lycos Tripod to use their web domain and site builder service. Stay clear! You will find they don't have a live chat and all you will get is help topics in troubleshooter that are only meant to keep you on board. They offer 3 email accounts well just try to sort that one out. I have tried for over two days to transfer my domain with out joy to my other ISP and we are losing valuable time trying to sort out our business. People just be aware that if you are going to look for a simple site-builder or if you are advanced HTML coders go somewhere else because you will have possibly the worst customer service know to the web with Lycos. Off to fight the battle to retrieve my Domain! ICAAN here I come!...

Try Tripod!

Advantages: Fast, free and simple
Disadvantages: You need to add some HTML for backgrounds etc.

...The Tripod Homepage Builder is relatively easy to use when compared with most other homepage building services. You can choose from two building methods: pure HTML for the professional, or the quickpage builder for the beginner or those who want a simpler page construction technique. I always use the simpler method, but it does help if you are capable of adding or changing some parts of HTML where needed (such as to add background pictures, music, etc.). At first your page may seem plain and simple, but after a while you may pick up some hints and tips about HTML, in which case you’ll be able to jazz up your page. A good site for those looking for HTML codes is Funky Chickens at: http://funky-chickens.com/ If you are looking around the Tripod site for the simpler method, look for a link that directs you to the original Homepage...

Tripod is excellent, easy to use and FREE

Advantages: FREE, 10MB, easy to navigate and use, lots of tools
Disadvantages: The banner pop-up, if oyu do not incorporate the advertising on oyur web page

...I've been with Tripod (albeit the American site) since 1997, (Tripod UK since 1998) and I think it's the best webhosting place you could ask for. For starters, it's FREE and they give you 10MB, but that's not all. It doesn't matter if you are a novice at the whole web-page game or an absolute HTML superstar - the site is easy to navigate, and there are tools for all levels of webmasters to create great looking pages. They cater for everyone. Uploading files is easy, and what's really nice for the non-techno, is that they take you through stuff in easy-to-understand language. Some things, step by step. They have hit counters, images library, guest books - take your pick. Now with Trellix, you can get a really professional looking website and do it all yourself. But Tripod is much more than just a web-page provider. It...

Cullmann 54100 Euro Uno Stativ/Tripod

Advantages: Lightweight, Sleek and attractive looking, Easy to use, Affordable
Disadvantages: Possibly too light for heavier equipment

...My tripod is the Cullmann 54100 Euro Uno Stitiv/Tripod This is the first time I have purchased a tripod of my own, having researched the market I decided to buy mine at a Photographers Exhibition so at a reduced price. Having only previously used second hand tripods found in charity shops, made of heavy metal and designed in a bulky style. I was very pleased when testing the newer tripods, that weight has been considerably reduced, and the style and shape has been streamlined for convenient handling and transporting. The Cullmann 54100 has a handy carry handle that allows easy transport. It is also extremely light. Not so light that it topples over when standing, but light enough to be manageable. Easy to use, the camera fixes nicely into place via a plastic square that detaches from the tripod and fixes to the bottom...

Review of Cullmann Jet-Set 52013 Tripod

Tripod is free

Advantages: Free
Disadvantages: Banner ads on pages

...http://www.tripod.co.uk/index.html I have put three sites up on Tripod and have found them OK. Apart for the banner ads that pop-up on each page, that is unless your register and pay for a domain name. I haven't used the Homepage Builder as it is very basic and does not allow you to create a very pleasing site. I would think that a newcomer to web page authoring may have a little trouble using their builder. I would suggest learning something like Frontpage and uploading that to your Tripod web space. Tripod does support Frontpage Extensions so you will have no problem putting page counters etc on your site. They have also built a community for web page sumitters called Pods. I haven't used it but I should think that many people do. For free web hosting Tripod is not too bad....

I think Ive outgrown Tripod

Advantages: FREE and easy to use with expansive space on offer
Disadvantages: The "Unbearable Pop-ups"

...Tripod is the easiest web hosting site to use, the largest and one of the fastest (Considering these services are classsed as "read slow"). But its pop-up windows containing advertisements are making me look for another web hosting company. I signed up to the site about one month ago, and as a first time user, I found Tripod an excellent site due to its partner FTP software called Trelix Web. I actually found that you could host a site on Tripod for free by accident. I did this when I bought my new computer that had Trelix Web pre installed. As I was playing around with making a web site, I decided to look at what publishing deals were on offer through Trelix Web. I found Tripod and chose it simply becuase it gave me a fairly expansive size (50mb) and with the ability to upgrade this size to 100MB if necessary. SO I signed up...
