Reviews of Opteka Digital Camera / Camcorder Lens Cleaning Kit, Tabletop Tripod, & LCD Screen Protectors

1.) A good freebie

I received this product as a freebie through another purchase. I have already used several of the items contained in the package although the tabletop tripod is worthless unless you have a inexpensive point and shoot camera. I bought one of these at a retailer for a dollar sometime previously and could not even get it to stand stable with a small camcorder. The lens cleaning equipment and the bulb brush have already come in handy!!!!

2.) Great Buy!

Was alittle hesitant on buying a lens via the internet. But did my homework and look at reviews. Boy was I impressed by this lens. Pictures are crisp and clear. I'm no pro, but then again I don't think this is a lens a pro would buy. Couldn't ask for a better value for the money.


3.) Handy

Came free with the purchase of my flash, but the kit is handy if you don't have cleaners. The screen protectors are flimsy and cheap but what do you expect for the price.

4.) Nice little bundle...

This came free with a lens purchase I made. Not sure I'd buy this, but it's a good little bundle!

5.) Gimmicky at best

I received this free as a promotional item in a larger order. I can safely say that I'm glad I didn't pay for this.

The tripod is just a couple of inches long. While it has a surprisingly high build quality, it's totally useless. It's not heavy enough to hold up any sort of front-heavy camera (DSLRs for example). Many point and shoot cameras also have the tripod mount on one side or another, not in the center, making it impossible to balance the camera properly on the tripod without completely splaying the legs, leaving you with maybe one inch of height gain - you're better off leaving the camera on a table.

The screen protectors are thin and flimsy, but they'll probably do their job just fine. The screen protectors are giant however, and will need to be cut to the size of your camera screen.

Seeing the low quality of the other items in the kit I've been hesitant to use the lens cleaning solution on one of my actual lenses, but I've tested it on a piece of glass and it left no visible residue. I can't comment much on it otherwise.

Lastly, my favorite part of this kit by far, is the brush/blower. It's horribly cheap feeling, but it works perfectly, and that's what matters at this point.

All in all, the tripod would be useful for webcams with a tripod mount, the screen protectors are fine in you have scissors on hand, and the blower/brush are cheap but functional - and very portable.

6.) Looks and feels cheap, but..

got it for free from 47th St., and no additional shipping charges, too. :) Tripod is not very reliable - I feel like the camera might tip over anytime. Of course if you have the smaller ones (I have DSLR), this might actually work better. Haven't tried the cleaning solution yet - it might take some more to convince me to try them on my lenses. :)

7.) Free! YEAH RIGHT! More like SCAM!!!

I bought a higher priced item from 47th street photo and this was offered as "FREE" with my purchase. However, this is nothing short of a SCAM. With my initial purchase I was supposed to get free shipping, that is until I added this "FREE" promotion to the cart. My shipping jumped up to $8. Don't let them fool you. 47th Street Photo is using this promotion as a scam to get their shipping cost. What a joke!

8.) No Good

I got this item for free. Don't pay for it. It is not worth your money. The tripod wouldn't hold the cheapest lightest camera you could find. Lcd protector not any good either. Lense tissue is the same as for eyeglasses. DON'T BUY!!!!

9.) Free with the frame

This was a free item with the Opteka 15" Digital frame (Excellent). The items themselves were a joke.

10.) Read like it was free but charged me anyway
