    This camera stand is awful. Do not buy. Extremely flimsy. Not a lot of stability or adjustment options. Avoid at all costs.

    Concept of a compact tripod is good BUT this one is not worth the money. Flimsy legs and feet with poor design for locking the three pods. First use and one of the plastic feet broke off. No way to repair. Go with a full size version.
