    The only problem with it is that it is very hard to push the buttons on the legs to shorten them.

    This tripod is a great value for the light/average user. My 14-year-old son uses it constantly to make video game play-throughs - he has delusions of making millions from posting such instructional videos on Youtube. Sure, it's nowhere near rugged enough for the professional, but it's plenty tough to stand up to a 14-year-old for pretty constant around-the-house and occasional outdoor use.

    When purchasing this product, it is important that the customer understands that this tripod is an entry level, basic tripod. They should not be confused thinking that they are buying a high quality tripod at a $30 price point. That being said, for its price point this is functional and perfunctory. It does exactly what I need it to do: hold the camera so that I don't have to.
