Sturdy Tripod
This is a sturdy tripod. The tripod has a nice solid feel to it as opposed to light cheap plastic. I use it with my Nikon D7200. It has a ball swivel which can be locked down or loosened. When loose you can adjust the camera while mounted moving up/down or right/left with ease. There is a groove where the camera can be adjusted to face at a 90 degree angle facing down. The tripod legs telescope up/down to either extend or retract. The legs are locked down with a simple twist/pressure screw like clamp. Its a little heavy but still portable. The tripod does not have a level on it and I do find it rather difficult get the legs to be equally extended outward in triangle or the ball swivel to be flush. Its probably because it is a ball swivel type tripod. I would recommend this tripod to any camera user and I believe that it is a high quality product that will last a long time.

Great travel tripod, if you don't need panning.
This is a very sturdy tripod with excellent build quality. Setting up and tearing down of the tripod can be done in under one minute. The ball head locks pefectly in any position without issues. But, when making the adjustments you have to hold the camera before loosening the knob. Otherwise camera could drop 90 degrees from vertical. This tripod lacks separate locks for horizontal and vertical motion. So you cannot use it for panning. This makes it very difficult to lock your focus and recompose your shot. If you don't care about panning, then this tripod is definitely worth it's price.
