    Lightweight item. Not very sturdy for larger cameras or if you are using a 200-300mm zoom. Locking mechanism is very small. However a Lightweight stand could be good for long treks. This would be the absolute lightest stand I would consider. The stand had a little shake on long exposures

    It broke the exact same day I bought it :) The part you are supposed to be able to put your phone in literally snapped in half when I tried to put my phone in it . Waste of $80.

    Felt cheap and legs were very flimsy. I own 3 other tripods and this ones legs were awful. The only thing that was even remotely good was the trigger ball head and it worked pretty well.

    The head adjustment is cumbersome at best. Getting the camera level is hard and the lens will sag a few degrees after adjustment. I used a 5d ML iv with a 24 -104 f4 and it couldn’t handle the lens weight.

    Cool design, but not built for Live music. Stage vibration would easily loosen every clamp on the handle, wasted opportunity for fantastic live music b roll.
