flimsy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.really flimsy, not sure why its rated so high? the pros is that it's light weight and easy to travel with. the cons is that its also light weight and not steady or stable enough for a real camera. I'll pass on this and will be returning. there are plenty of light weight tripods that are much sturdier for a good price.

Second One I purchased
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this a few years ago and it worked great. (yes it did break) - But I used it for a few years - and for the money - and the size - it does what I need.

Good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a perfect starter tripod for my son. He is just getting into photography and videography and the tripod gives him the ability to be in his own productions without the added cost of the larger versions. It is a little on the small side so if he continues with this hobby I will need to get a larger one but it is perfect for now.

Not too sturdy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's small and very easy to travel with. If you have anything bigger than a kit lenses on a mirrorless type of camera, it's not going to do well in holding that weight. It felt a bit cheaply made but you get what you pay for.

Portable, telescopic, for smaller cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were looking for a tripod at the last minute for our 12 day trip to the US NW, and knew we'd want to take scenic pics of our little group in places where there'd be nobody to ask to take our picture. We found this little gem for a great price. It telescopes higher than other ones we tested, to about 3 feet, and it will be great for tabletop shots. It is sturdy enough for our Nikon Coolpix L610--but might not be the best for heavier/better cameras. It has locking swivels that turn left and right, and also another to tilt up and down. We even adjusted the leg height separately to accommodate for uneven slopes. This is a great tripod for our everyday uses--nothing super heavy duty or ultra professional, but it was perfect for all of our needs and aided in some great pics!

Just not strong enough...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the tripod to hold a Canon T3 with a speed light flash. The cost was great but the tripod is not sturdy enough to hod the camera and flash level. If you have a smaller camera or a camera without a flash it may work for you.

Compact but unstable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a very portable and convenient tripod, however, when it comes to stability won't do the job, I have a baby and a large dog, both have knocked it down, camera has survived, but not willing to try my luck again.

Very handy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Webcams have been problematic to me, as I often use them for meetings, and it it hard to move the camera from one speaker to another, while also taking notes, or being otherwise active. With this tripod, it is easy to set it on the table and move the camera when necessary. It has made live streaming or recording meetings much easier for me.

Small Cameras Only
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very small when collapsed and would be nice for traveling if you use small pocket camera. I would not use this with a dslr or larger superzoom style camera though... way too flimsy. Had to return mine.

Decent beginner tripod, but priced to high
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent beginner or casual user tripod, but priced to high for what you get. It does have a few options that you would expect for a tripod though. It is quite portable because of size and weight, but it will expand to full height.

Inexpensive but sturdy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was great to use for practice recording for becoming certified as a teacher. However, I feel that if the camera I was to use was any heavier, it would fall forward due to there not being a locking mechanism to hold it in place. The tripod does exactly what it is meant to do, and I am gearing up to use it for trips as well.

good, but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this item is very small and portable but the legs are not very sturdy. if you bump or tap the legs while extended, they retract. So not for heavy cameras or rough enviroments. good for light casual use. great price.

Great stand
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use and good quality. Fits my Cannon dslr camera without a hassle. Sturdy and doesn't disappoint. I would recommend this to a friend. Accidentally bought one with one leg but I like this alot better because I don't have to hold it.
