    Good height for someone who is 5'5", quite durable can handle bumps. Great especially for the price, a little stiff at times. I really enjoy it :)

    This is an awesome tripod to use for big cameras, I have the Nikon D5200 and was pleasantly surprised when it held the weight, it does slip a little with a bigger device, the anchoring pad when leaned a little forward starts to 'slip' and you have to put it back in place. But still a great product!!!

    I needed a good tripod to photograph the super moon. However, there was only one on the shelf. It looked like it had everything I needed but when I pulled it from the box, I could tell it was returned previously. One of the adjustment knobs was broken off. I returned it the next day. They still don't have any more in stock.

    This tripod is too flimsy and unstable for a spotting scope or heavy camera.

    This is the first time I brought a tripod so I didn't know what to expect. However, it worked well with my camera. Recently, my niece dropped it and a piece broke off, but it can still be used

    One of the better tripods I have used. Some are not easy to use while trying to shoot this one is easy to use and I like that it is sturdy feet.

    Very good tripod, definitely meets my needs.

    Positives - quite sturdy, has a useful bubble level to help level the tripod for shooting. I have a Nikon D5300 with two different lenses. (I bought my system a la carte, so my lenses are not the "kit lenses"). Negatives -- just one -- the screw that screws the shoe in to the bottom of the camera is not permanently attached and it falls out all the time when installing or removing the shoe. When shooting in the dark, I really have to keep an eye on it. There are better tripods for lots more money, but for what I've been doing (just shooting as a hobby), it has done quite well.

    Not very good

    The legs/base are quality however the swivel mount on the extension column is substandard at best, the rest of the head is not the best either. The 6 lbs rating is so not accurate, the head is only stable with a camera and lens of a combined weight 2 lbs. or less. Simply put the entire head is just cheep wiggly low grade plastic. I have just bought a different tripod with a full metal head assembly which is rock solid.
