    I bought the tripod for a cheap option to use with my camera. Photography is a hobby of mine. It's okay for the price. It's a little flimsy but I haven't tested it too much yet.

    You can't beat the price for a tripod this size. Very easy to use once you learn how the legs retract from a locked position. Great for the occasional user.
