    This tripod is very small and thin but unbelievably sturdy. Folds up to about 12 inches tall but opens up to a full size trip

    Hate to write bad reviews, but this tripod is sorely lacking in the ability to hold the attached camera in a level position. It's better than nothing, but not much.

    If you don’t use the adjustments without extending it it works fine. Once you extend it the locks do not hold her legs in place. My camera almost fell however I was able to grab onto it. I immediately return this product
