I've not used a Giottos tripod in the field but a place I used to work sold them so I have spent some time playing with them. They appear to be closely modeled on Manfrotto tripods (which isn't a bad thing), but are cheaper and lighter. The legs of the Giottos seemed to have a bit more wobble but they still seemed quite stable when being used. Overall I think that they offer good value though I doubt you'd get as many years of service out of one as a Manfrotto will give.
