    I purchased for my teenage daughter who is experimenting with photography and shooting videos. When it arrived, I was disappointed with the quality but my daughter has made it work. Her camera and Go Pro video camera are so small and light they work ok on the tripods skinny legs. I wish it balanced better and folder quicker but it is the cheapest model so maybe I am expecting too much.

    The good is how compact this tripod is. I can put it in my purse and have a tripod with a decent height. I use it for my cellphone. The legs are super flimsy and they get stuck all the time or the opposite- they don’t lock. But it can be great for lightweight equipment like a pocket LED light, cellphone or GoPro session.

    I liked that it's rigid and strong. Only thing that bother me is that once the camera is screwed on the mount is not always straight, takes some adjusting to get a level picture
