    This is a great on the go tripod, but I would recommend to not use it for everyday use. I use mine for filming at conventions where space is tight, and it works very well; however, I can see easily if this was my everyday tripod, it would get beat up bad. Some wear and tear is already showing on ours and we've only had it a short time, so storing in a backpack may not be the best, but it is still working a-ok. Overall, I'd recommend this as a lightweight travel option.

    Folds up nice and small. But it is a little wobbly. If my camera was any heavier, not sure it hold the weight.

    It's small and light. Easy to carry. Too light, sometimes I'm afraid heavy wind can blow it off.

    My second Sunpak - PlatinumPlus 4200XL 42 Tripod

    I bought another one not because the other broke or anything but because this is the best tripod I have used and because of an additional camera, I purchased another tripod and it could only be a Sunpak - PlatinumPlus 4200XL 42 Tripod. These are simple to set up and just are fantastic at shoots. It does what you need a tripod to do.

    I have a Nikon and this was really easy to set up. I needed it to be able to manage my camera during an event I was hosting. I was shaking from being nervous so extremely helpful!

    This is a very cheap tripod. I got it to fit in a backpack on a vacation overseas. In that sense, its great! But it does feel really wobbly and cheap. You get what you pay for, but I'm still satisfied because its so cheap.
