    If you have a big dslr camera it gets a little too heavy but this tripod does work wonderfully!

    For the price of this tripod, I suggest spending a little more and getting a way better one. The legs are hard to adjust and broke within the first day of having it. Returned it the same day.

    The tripod was great. The only problem that I had was putting the extending legs back in. When I tried this, only one went in leaving me to mess around with the other two. The "lock" and "unlock" on the leg was very touchy as well making it more difficult. I returned this tripod in search of an easier to use, and stronger tripod.

    Pretty flimsy. Was crooked right out of the box and the piece that keeps the camera landscape/portrait fell off for no apparent reason. Will be returning.
