I purchased this striped to use for my grandson's musical productions. Its easy to set up and very sturdy for my camcorder. It would be ideal if it it had more than two settings but that's not a deal breaker.

So I bought this for a surf competition to take surf videos and omg ... it's amazing. I switched from a monopod to this tripod and aside from the fact that it's a little heavy and doesn't fit in my camera bag, it's the best.

Decent tripod for the money. Unfortunately it was an after market package it seems with the tripod head and the tripod itself so I don't really love the construction of those components per say, but it is a very solid, sturdy, beginner tripod with fluid pan and tilt.

easy to use and has the feel of a very well made product which it is. Firm, locking extensions on legs of tripod and very smooth rotation of camera mount and base. Good balance.

I truly love this tripod so very much! It’s so sleek and sturdy. I love how easily it pans left, right, up, and down. It’s just perfect and fits my Canon M50 with no problem.

It works excellent, the only thing I would say is that, the base plate where you screw into the camera is long and if you're using it with a camera with long lens like a 70-200mm lens then you might be able to fit it on. Unless you adjust it so that the camera sits at the end and you don't have to worry about if the lens will fit.

Great tri-pod. Been using it to take night photos of the sky when we’re able to drive up in the mountains to a dark sky location. Only complaint is that when purchased it was missing a screw. I went on Amazon and had to buy a new platform but I mean I guess I have a spare now.

Very sturdy tripod, excellent for cameras with some weight especially DSLR’s. It can be adjusted several ways and us strong enough that wind won’t blow it down.

Great stable tripod for most simple camera setups. However, for the price, I wish it had a bit higher of a payload capacity.
