    I picked up this tripod prior to traveling. I was interested in finding a tripod that would be lightweight and yet sturdy. This model is both.

    This product is a good buy and is compact. The last one I had was too heavy and bulky. This one could be carried on the plane when traveling.

    Works well when fully compact but gets incredibly flimsy when extending the legs. I dont trust it with my camera whem extended but does a great job on a desk whem compact for video blogging and even works well as a handle for that as well.

    This has been a great travel tripod. However, there is no way to control the level of pitch on the tripod. My Sony Mirrorless camera must be a little too heavy for the tripod, because the camera is always tilted horizontally. There is no way to adjust the tightness to fix the issue, I have to correct the photos in the editing stage.

    If you are using a camcorder it doesn't sit straight. I had to stick something underneath to make the camera straight.
