    This tripod isn't heavy enough to handle panning/turning the camera head. If you turn your camera right, the tripod will follow, which causes jumping. For still pictures, OK.

    This stand is very good. For the price, it's tough to beat. I wish it was stiffer/more rigid, but otherwise like it.

    I wish it had a level but it is very compact and easy to carry. The legs extend quite far so it will be nice for panoramic shots.

    This tripod is decent but I used it for an international trip. After the first few days it started to fall apart. By the end of the week it was useless. Its not well made and certainly not good enough for long term use
