Poor Quality

Screw falls off.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The black knob falls off the screw making it impossible to put camera on securely. It pops back on but as soon you go to put the camera on it falls off as you tighten the camera.

This isn't stable at all.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to use this at work when doing table days and taking pictures at my events. It worked the first time I used it but since then it won't level out correctly. :(

Flimsy tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this on a whim knowing it couldn't be much at that price. I was correct. It may be okay for a small point and shoot but never for an SLR camera.

Don't! Don't do it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought I give it a try since it was so cheap... tried once and the legs felt so weak and unstable that I returned it right away.

Not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a good tripod. Mainly because it takes so long to extend all the legs to full length… And they are very flimsy. I want a tripod I can quickly extend, and one with the legs don’t feel like they will just bend with even a little bit of pressure. I’ve other cheap and expensive tripods that work much better, and I probably will never use this one again.

Cheap and flimsy
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth it at any price. I would highly recommend the Manfrotto Pixi instead, which is also less expensive.

Cheap quality

Looking for small tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Difficult to get leaks to stay up. Camera weight causes legs to collapse. Camera easily attaches to tripod, which was a plus.

Only good for really lightwieght cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice looking tripod, but that's where it ends. Way too flimsy except for the lightest cameras - I returned it the very next day, and it was royal pain to collapse it down.
