    The swiffel head that mounts to the camera is very poorly manufactured.It does not lock in place as you would expect and is not under 90 degrees angle, has way too much play!

    The legs are flimsy and hard to adjust to the same length. I suggest spending a little more on a more stable, sturdy tripod.

    Leg locking mechanism is clumsy to use. Pan handle does not turn until head is completely locked. This small tripod isn't worth $29.99.
