    For my minimalist purposes this tripod gets the job done. Adjusting the height is a little difficult due to the ball bearings which are used as locks. To collapse a section you will need to press down a couple of ball bearings while sliding the section.

    This is a flimsy tripod, honestly thought about returning it. However, it is much more stable at lower heights; don't expect to use the full 42" and have your camera be stable.

    It does the job and holds the camera steady and sturdy. Adjusting the height can be difficult because the legs just don't want to go back down when you need them to. If you don't mind a little fight when putting it away, then this is a good sturdy tripod.

    Camera sits at an angle without a way to make it straight. Extending the 3 legs is tricky and flemsey. Great size, portable, but not good quality!
