    Awful product. This is my first ever tripod. I bought it to pair with a mini project I bought. It's flimsy and difficult to adjust. I thought $30 for a tripod would be a decent product, but this is on the low end. Returning and upgrading.

    This works well enough. The attachment to a webcam is a little off level, but ultimately works.

    The locking function on the telescoping legs really seems to deteriorate over time, which is unfortunate because at first it seemed like a nifty little tripod.
