    This tripod is good if the legs are not fully extended, when fully extended the legs bow in. For the price it is still a good tripod.

    This tripod is tall enough to work for most people standing (using a camera with an adjustable digital viewfinder screen) or sitting. It is, however, very light duty. When using it to record a moving target, the mechanism is not smooth enough, substantial enough...or both. My camera is a Sony RX10 II
