    Perfect size, adjustable, well balanced, the only pitfall is that it doesn't come with a case. I used a black utility rectangular zipper bags at Walmart (for 2 bucks or so) and it perfectly fits inside along with the camera in its own camera bag. So far so good!

    This is a great value for the extremely low price. Needed a tripod while traveling but missed that the head does not swivel. Holds the camera as well as expected but you can not pan. Ideal for a lightweight camera, especially if taking photos, or a camcorder as long as you don't need to swivel / pan.

    This tripod is perfect for travel. Lightweight but sturdy while in use. Half the weight and dimensions of my normal tripod. A bag would be very useful so it does not get tangled with other items.

    The tripod does the job, but with time and use it will need to be replaced. Cheap plastic parts DO NOT hold up well with use. But all the models are made the same way and all the manufactures charge to much for cheap plastic.

    This small tripod has metal legs, which makes it sturdier that small plastic tripods I was using for desktop recordings. It is heavier than I expected which helps keep the camera perspective from shifting.

    Works great for the camcorder I originally purchased it for but also works great with my projector. Seems to be a good compact and easy to use universal stand.
