The tripod only holds 13 pounds for $249. Run Run Run

Only six complaints? That sounds pretty good.

Seriously, deal with a "real" camera store. For example - Adorama, Amazon, B&H, Cameta, Costco, Crutchfield, Hunt’s, Robert’s

Thanks,

Dealt with the Camera Gear Store once ordered a back drop after 6 weeks of fighting with them my item finally arrived from China. The Camera Gear Store stocks nothing when you place an order they place an order with someone else and have it shipped to you usually from China. I had to file a formal complaint with ebay in order to get my item

The best advise I can give you is to buy from a reputable dealer and to buy a brand name tripod. There are many to choose from.

Did it ever occur to you to contact the website or store?

Yes it looks comparable to many tripods on Amazon for less than half of their $249 price. A no-name tripod listing for $499 is not really a $499 tripod. It's an artificial list price to make their selling price look good. Without a brand name on it there's no way to verify a REAL list price. Stick to reputable sellers that will stand behind their products.

The webpage says they are in Melbourne, Florida.
Looks like the type of place where you are best off visiting in person so you can see and identify what they are selling.

Looks like a ripoff place. Also on the home page is this for $80:

MACRO LED RING FLASH PACKAGE (WITH 4 DIFUSSERS AND 8 LENS ADAPTERS)

There are dozens of them on ebay selling for $30 each.

P.S. And all the reviews are 5 stars!
P.P.S. Check out the names of the people posting reviews. If they don't look made up.....

I would suggest adding KEH to that list Jerry. In the past I had outstanding customer service from them on an order and just received a used lens from them with another order. Again the customer service was outstanding, the price excellent, and the lens was better than described.
