5 Stars Lithium battery
Good product and very good brand. Shop around for best price. Will buy again when needed.

1 Star Don’t buy it!! Spend the money on the real one.
I wish there was this source of reviews when I bought mine, 33+ other people had the same problem – the Lenmar DLC4L does not hold a charge at all and is completely unusable. The seller at the time was the battery center, who conveniently doesn’t answer email now. Unfortunately for me, Amazon is unwillingly the solve this problem since it is more than 90 days since the day of purchase (battery worked for a short period of time). What poor service. What a waste of money, especially the shipping.

1 Star Battery Stinks…Warranty Is Worse
Like many others here, my battery died and wouldn’t take a charge after less than one year’s use. As there is a 3-year warranty, and I had my receipt, I didn’t think it would be difficult to get a replacement.

My initial request (per online form) to Lenmar was simply ignored. My second request got me a form letter saying that I should mail the dead battery to them, preferably insured, at my own cost – after which they’d send me a replacement battery for “$7.50 shipping.”

In other words, I’ll pay as much in postage as I would to replace the battery. And, oh yeah, “allow 4 weeks for your replacement to arrive.”

I’ll try some other brand of battery, thanks, and hope that this warning can steer others away from this questionable company.

1 Star Not worth the price.
I bought a Lenmar DLC4L batter to use as a backup for my Canon camera. I used it occasionally, and the last time I tried to use it, it would not power the camera, but the charger indicated it is fully charged. I thought that one battery was much like another with the same chemistry. Not true. The Canon battery works well, and continues to work well for me. The Lenmar battery worked for a short time, but now does not work. I won’t buy another Lenmar battery if I can help it.

2 Stars Worthless Warranty
Bought this battery because of the 3 year warranty. However, if you claim after 90 days they make you pay $7.50 shipping so you know you’re paying for the replacement so there’s really no difference between the quality of this battery and the cheapies out there.

5 Stars Cheap and serves the purose
The product is really cheap but serves the purpose. It is easy to setup and there is nothing much to it really. There is a level height to set up the level correctly. Rods a mix of plastic and aluminium. It is light and easy to carry around. Good product overall.

5 Stars light, easy to carry, very adjustable
It has a level in it, easy adjust legs, a sturdiness that’s surprising for such a light weight tripod. It adjusts to over five feet, folds smoothly, and great for hikes, or timed pictures.

5 Stars Good Tripod
This has come in handy for our telephoto lens. It also is nice to be able to have everyone in the photos at one time.

4 Stars Very useful
I’ve owned this tripod for almost 9 months now and I love it! I’ve actually taken it to long trips such as Las Vegas, NY, and San Francisco and it’s been very handy for long exposure shots,it’s a little bit unstable when it’s windy but nothing that can be solved by holding it down, it’s really light and comes with a convenient bag.

I’m only giving it 4 stars because there are better brands that would probably give you a more stable grip, but overall it’s a really good buy if you’re on a budget.

5 Stars Perfect for our purpose
We needed a very light, very portable and very inexpensive tripod for a short period of work at our church. This has been perfect for the job. The adjustments move smoothly, the camera is held firmly and it folds quickly to fit into the storage/carry case.

This is not a professional metal tripod — don’t expect that in this price range. However, it is good for tourist type travel and general usage. I would recommend it for anyone with these requirements.

I would purchase again for our own use or for a gift.

5 Stars Does its job without taking up space
If you have the type of Canon battery that this charges, this charger is probably your best bet. The multipurpose chargers that stores tend to carry are much bulkier and often more expensive as well. This product is identical to the charger that came with my camera (before I lost it…); it is compact and convenient (the flip out prongs make this especially true), and the orange/green indicator light is simple and effective.

5 Stars As Promised!
I purchased this charger to replace the one I lost for my camera. This charger came brand new in the package, inexpensive and has put me back in business with taking all of my snapshots.

5 Stars Thank you!
I got this charger in a VERY short period of time and was in great condition! I even got a battery that wasnt even in the description which was even better! Thank you very, very much!!!

5 Stars works well
havent had any problems so far, had it for close to 8 months now, keeps my battery charged

1 Star Slooooooow shipping from Amazon
Product works fine – it charges the canon battery NB-4L. However, amazon took over two weeks to ship this product which was listed as “in stock”. Don’t buy if you need this anytime soon.
