    I actually use this for my small projector. I took off the black cover that keeps the legs even and from going out any further, adding a washer to replace it. On the table top, the projector would topple over when pointing up. Now with that black piece off, the legs can go out further for better tabletop stability. But, beware it can be a pain when the legs are all the way extended. Nothing a bit of practice can’t fix.

    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

    It's ok, but not incredibly solid and sturdy.

    It's an average tripod. OK for the price. Not incredibly solid and sturdy, but does the job. I also found that when my camera was positioned and tightened in place, the camera would settle a little from the original position. So I had to learn to set the position above where I wanted it, making the process not incredibly accurate.

    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.
