Just purchased this myself. It's a Leica tripod, which, unusually, is 1.72M tall. That's the average man's height.
The quality is superb, it's strong and sturdy and has levelling feet, two bubble spirit levels and a standard camera mounting attachment.
It's actually intended for use as a laser measuring tripod, hence it's tall and sturdy, but if you're a serious photographer, this is an absolute steal for £30, and postage is FREE NEXT DAY.

Good price ! Seems to be a steady £60+ on amazon.

This looks like one of those cheap nasty tripods from Jessops you can buy for £15, but with the Leica brand slapped on... But that's just from looking at the photo, you can see from the crank handle that it's a plasticky mechanism- and any tripod with a foldable support from the legs to the central column is questionable...

I'm guessing this would be no good for a Spotting Scope that weighs around 1kg? (Probably a dumb question, but, anyway).
Can anyone recommend a decent tripod that can handle something weightier, and doesn't cost the earth?

Exactly what I thought, looks like the velbon brand at currys, just a cheap chinese generic plastic tripod with Leica branding, and so £30 seems the usual price for something like this.
