    Sadly, had to return this tripod because even thought my husband's DSLR is right at the advertised weight limit for this tripod (2.5 lb), with the tripod fully extended, it did not provide a stable platform for his Canon DSLR.

    Never accidentally bump something up against this tripod because you’ll have to automatically go to the store and get another one. I’d suggest spending more money on a better one.

    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.
