Uh oh, hope it works then

Depending on the company you bought it from they should be willing to help if they didn't make it obvious that's what the crack is.

I've had my 70D for about a month now. Very pleased, although getting used to the where the functions are now new takes a little getting used to. I went through a you-tube tutorial for 40 mins which helped.

Camera arrived, got to give it a proper test when charged and SD Card arrival.. It's really nice so far though

Made my first error, thought it was shooting in RAW, however it was shooting in Large JPG, hence the images looked like ****

At least you're out there and enjoying it

Neil79 · 12 Sep 2015 at 12:41

Buy **** get ****

Opened box, took it out of box and snap!

I knew it was cheap, as it was only for just light weight to carry around, but this :rolleyes:

Waiting on mine to arrive, not holding out much hope

Is it broken badly that it cant be fixed or even well bodged?

Looks like the plastic at the top has sheared which I guess might mean it's withstood a shock (fall etc) during delivery and fractured it and OP moving it slightly has just made it a bit much

Shows the quality of the plastic, not sure I'd want to bodge it.

I only wanted mine for indoor photography of PC bits (just to make the images even sharper) and so for £5.60inc deliver I thought it was worth a punt.

In that case, I'd hope for the best that it comes in one piece and use it. Would never use this outside though

There was also a huge amount of resistance when pushing out the legs as if they were not meant to go out at all.

Hasnt arrived yet

Does not matter as it looks like I am not missing out on anything good.

stulid · 15 Sep 2015 at 09:34

Its arrived and unfortunately its in one piece.

Its not very tall and looks and feels like a piece of crap, but its a £5.60 piece of crap so is forgiven based on its price.

I got the refund for the Tripod, which was good
