    No, it is not nearly as good as some others. But when you only need it occasionally it works.

    This was hands down the worst thing I’ve ever bought in my entire life. And I’ve bought second hand Pokémon cards. Never again. I’ve had tinfoil more stable than this thing. I farted once and it fell over. Baby deer have more stability than these legs. I’ve seen girls in heels drink a bottle of tequila and stay up longer than this thing. If I could give a -59 I would.

    Very flemsy legs

    When the legs are extended, the tripod becomes very unstable. Also, if legs are not snapped just right, they can collapse causing your camera to fall down with the tripod. Better off buying a much sturdier tripod.
