    Held up well my dslr with 18-200 mm lens. It does what it's suppose to be. Not sure yet how long it will last. A must for amateur like me.

    I dont recommend, it's not user friendly and doesn't work as mention on the package. I will be returning it. Legs are hard to lock so they won't stay in place. I really tried to make it work but it was useless.

    Bought this for my sony nex camera after the bestbuy salesman recommended it to me. unfortunately once my camera was on the tripod it never stopped tilting forward because of its weight. But I am sure this is a great product for a small point&shoot camera. it does not take any space and is not heavy.

    Only buy if its an emergency and on a budget type buy. Poorly made and didn't even last one use. Just pulled it out of the box and the legs were already falling apart. Could never get the stand to actually stand, the legs kept sliding even after the locks on the legs were on.
