    Good product, however, the legs are a little on the flimsy side when pulled all the way out.

    Tripod legs are very light weight. The do not hold position well and the locking mechanism to keep them extended isn't worth the name. I went out and got a decent stand that uses tension locks on each joint and I will never use this again.
