This product is perfect for taking pictures on the go. It is small, light and will fit in most camera bags. If you are looking for a stand to use at home for portraits and such you would probably want a different stand. This one is short and not at a comfortable height for most people. However it is perfect for travel.

Compactness and lightweight makes this tripod perfect for me, since I travel with friends on motorcycle excursions. Many times in remote locations such as the Blueridge Parkway, we want to take a group picture, but someone has to snap the photo. With this tripod, can quickly set it up and take pictures of the entire group.....

The compact size of this makes it very appealing. I use it with my GoPro and can easily fit into my backpack.
Having said that, the legs are a little "flimsy" and I'm not sure I'd trust it with a more expensive camera.
But for the price, I felt it was worth the purchse.

Larger tripods are fine unless you are filming from inside a press box. You will need a tripod this size to fit under the typical window height in most High School press boxes. Easy to use and set up and is very durable. Functionality is good for moving side to side and up and down

I bought these without much thought to use on a vacation with a new (not very lightweight) DSLR camera with zoom lens. I was focused on having a lightweight, packable tripod that would work in my backpack. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the thin, telescopic legs in a position to stabilize enough with which I felt comfortable in leaving the camera for timer shots in windy conditions. The camera is fairly light for its style, but I wouldn't trust the tripod with it. I would rate this 'poor' but maybe I could work with it more to improve stability. I waited too long to return it or I would have.

Works well for our uses. We use it with a Microsoft Lifecam Studio to demo our products during webinars with prospective customers. It works well unless I am trying to look straight down at something on my desk, is hard to work with it then. I think all tripods would have this issue though.

I had this tripod for about a month. It works well with my iPhone, large and small digital cameras, and the hand camera. It fits in my bag and back pack, but it does take up a lot of space and is bulky. It sets up easily, but on uneven surfaces it takes a bit more effort to get a level position. A level bubble would be great, as would quick release features for the legs.
