    I'm still very happy to have one this size. Now when I go to shows and/or any other park event, I can easy set up quickly & when carrying it, it isn't big & bulky.

    This is a good tripod for any small camera. If you have a really expensive camera I would probably step up but this will be good for general use

    Easy to set this tripod up, and easy to connect the camera to it. Has a great range of motion on the tripod, overall great little addition to a camera purchase.

    I love this tripod! It is so easy to carry with my camcorder and camera in one carrying bag. It sets up fully extended about 44" which is great for my purposes.

    Difficult to use, because it is loose at the top, camera keeps moving around very easily.

    It's a cute little tripod but I have to use a brace under one of the legs to even it out. That is with the legs extended 1 click.

    Good for point and shoot cameras, but not the best for heavier digital cameras and recorders. Fine for average photographer to use for image stabilization at full zoom, night shots and timer shots.

    Would be better for a smaller camera I have the Nikon d. 3300 and it seems a little to heavy for it. I had to take a peice of cardboard to prop it up so the camera sets on it straight, and the legs and very Tricky and do not like to stay in place so be very careful. It does the job with a little extra card board and being very careful with the legs but do plan to upgrade to a better one.

    even for price very flimsy. seemingly descent metal, plastics doesn't seem to be durable over long term, parts seems not to hold my 11pro pad evenly constant adjustments to tilt, as well as to adjustments to legs(opening leg stance) afraid of wrong move or someone kicking it may break it...rate a 2 of 5
