    This is exactly what I needed. It holds my camera firmly and is just the right height.

    Look, I’m a novice. I got this at the price point. We get what we pay for. The actual part the camera sits on is fairly loose compared to what I know it could (or at least should) be. For example, without actually moving the camera, (the part to have it turn in place or tilt up/down) it is still able to move/shift within the place it is locked facing towards, almost like the camera is on an un-even surface The legs also do a decent job of locking into place, but feel flimsy, I would not have it fully extended personally. In the end, IT DOES WORK, but not really the quality I want with the price range of camera I am in. 600-900.

    I was excited about this tripod. It's small and I wanted it to travel with. The only problem was that one of the legs wouldn't lock. I was reduced to using it solely as a table top tripod. And I didn't have the receipt or packaging to return it being that I bought it right before a big trip...
