Cheap.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Technically, it functions. However, the locking mechanisms for the tripod don’t work, and trying to get all 3 of the legs to the same height and making it stable is a pain. You get what you pay for.

Adequate for inside usage on a stable surface
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to use in several different applications; indoors for pictures/video of a student performance and hopefully to use on a trip for outdoor shots of the family. There are a few things that prevent it from getting a higher rating. First, if the extended legs are not in the locked (using that term loosely) position the weight of my pocket camera will cause it to tip. The locking is not a true lock it's more like the pin slips into a notch but it can easily be twisted out of the notch if not careful. The other issue I had was with the stability of the neck (where the camera attaches and where the arm to move it is.) I took the first tripod back because I thought that it was broken. However the second one I got is the same way. I haven't had time to find a replacement yet so if I use it I just hold on to the arm and kind of lift it into a level position.
