Found this Tripod at TSCC for $1.99. Not many left in the stores, but some still available in selective stores. How good is this tripod? Anyone bought this from TSCC or using one?

It looks top-heavy, which would put your valuable camera at risk.

If you must go for a cheapie the one at Dollarama is probably better, and cheaper!:)

LMFAO!!! Amazing!

My good friend had one of these overseas when were together for holidays. It was the niftiest thing. He started ejecting the bottom legs like a switchblade very quickly. Always impressed me. It does appear top-heavy fwiw though.

Id DEFINATEly PICK one up for a couple bucks lol.

I have this one and it's stable enough for me (although I don't have a lot to compare it to) - probably how the feet are designed. I've used it with both a various camera's, the largest being a Canon S2IS.

Problems I have with it are:
- pretty easy for feet to get "lost" inside the barrel, so you have to fish them out
- the ball-lock lever has very little play to go from tight to loose, so fine tuning the camera angle is tough.

OOS in Vancouver. Pretty neat this one. I have a similar one, and it helped a lot when there's no one around to help you take a picture on vacation.
