    The tripod folds up fairly small so I'm able to put it in a backpack which is really convenient. It is time consuming to put it up/take it down and comes with no instructions to do that. The guy at the store had to play with it for a few minutes to figure it out. Seems sturdy enough.

    A little flimsily but works great for one shots. Not sure how it will work with SLR's.

    Works as expected, like a tripod. Only issue I have is with the retractable legs. There is two little nubs you push in for them to collapse but those nubs are sort of sharp and are very hard to push. Other than that, it works and is sturdy.

    The top that has the screw you use to fasten the camera to it became loose after owning it for just a few months. Its decently stable but nothing amazing. The price point was one of the things that sold me on it, but there is probably something better out there.
