    It's very sturdy and works very well, however it doesn't have much flexibility as the more high end tripods do. If you're looking for a sturdy tripod for a fairly heavy camera, and something that does work then this is a good tripod for a good price.

    Buying a product the day you need it is always a bad idea. By the time I realized it was broken it was too late and we had to use it and that led to a poor video.

    Recently purchased a mirrorless camera and wanted to explore taking pictures using a tripod. This tripod has provided the stability I needed to get clear, steady pictures so I can focus on the view instead of worrying about any camera movement.

    I bought it for a recent trip. As soon as I opened it up at home, my son said, "Thanks" as if I bought it for him. He said he was going to steal it from me. He loved the compact size. It works great and doesn't take up a lot of space.

    It works as a tripod but the legs are not great quality when extending. returned the first one for a leg with issues. Second one failed after second use.

    This is not a very sturdy tripod. It tends to tip easily. I do not recommend using wothout holding and think twice before using with a nice camera.

    Ok for the price. A lens of any length will cause it to tip over. But for packability and casual vacation use, works for me.

    The legs didn't stay in place when extended. It's possible that it was just the one I purchased. Decided on another brand.

    I bought this to hold my iPad Pro to film games for submission and analysis. Very sturdy and adaptable legs for uneven or multi level surfaces to ensure an even film screen.

    This tripod was simply too small for my full size camera. I should have known better, but was looking for something lightweight to carry. I have returned it.

    I bought this tripod because I loved how light and portable it looked but ended up returning it because it was too flimsy. It couldn’t hold the weight of my small camera and didn’t stay up for long without falling.

    Was prefect for what I really wanted it for, but only concern was that it was built really cheap and felt very easy to break. Recommend for a beginner and a person on a budget!

    I got this tripod as part of a bundle package with my camera. The legs of the tripod are pretty flimsy. I don't expect it will hold up very long with extended use.

    Tripod is great for my needs for my Zoom calls. I put my lighting lamp on top of it and angel it upwards a bit. Looks great in Zoom. Highly recommend.
