    The legs were very thin and it made it very shaky when taking photos with a zoom lens

    Garbage

    This tripod literally came apart the first time I tried to unfold it after removing it from the packaging. Even if I just got a lemon, the unit felt light and cheap. Once I got it back into a usable state, the cheap metal and construction meant that vibrations were transmitted through the tripod extremely easily, rendering it useless for nighttime photography. I returned this as quickly as possible. Save your money and buy something solid (or, don't forget your good tripod at home when you go on vacation, like I did).

    Junk. I bought this is a backup for a tripod a paid a lot more for. This is simply useless. It does come with a phone attachment which is basically the only thing capable of being used. The whole thing is made of plastic, along with barely metal hardware. This particular one came with an empty level, rendering the head useless... Don't waste your money even if it is dirt cheap.

    I bought this tripod at the same time I bought my cannon rebel T7. I took them both to the beach to get some pictures. I got two good uses out of it. I went to spread the legs on it, to get it set up and one of the legs snapped off. I'm not sure if I got a faulty product or what happened but I'm not satisfied with this product.

    definitely price goes with quality. This tripod doesn’t hold steady that’s why I had to return it and purchased another that gives me more security with my camera.

    This is not a product made for serious photographers. It's too lightweight & will NOT support a DSLR camera body & lenses that tend to be on the heavier side. On a quick trial run, a light breeze almost took out my $2,000 camera. Thankfully, I was standing right next to it, caught it, & Best Buy made the return process easy.

    Be very sure you understand that this tripod is for light weight cameras, as noted on the box. It was too light weight for me. It does NOT claim to be more, but i would not usually want something with such alimited use

    I bought this to use with a tablet to record Sunday services. After several uses, the item could be better. It's serving its purpose.

    It lacks the necessary sturdiness to cope with pro or enthsiast DSRLs. Its head and grip are plastic and seem that will not resist intense use. A produt for weekend and casual photographers with light cameras.

    Doesn't work well. All the adjustment knobs fall off or no longer tighten, which makes astrophotography virtually impossible. I'm returning it.

    Seems flimsy and cheap. Almost lost my camera when the top head flipped over. Just not appropriate for a heavy dslr camera or someone who shoots outside.

    I wasn’t even able to use it once. The latch that connects the camera broke off the very first time i tried to use it. Very cheaply made

    I bought this tripod and have to say if it were for my kids, it would okay. But I had issues with the head because panning was not smooth. Because the tripod is light weight, wind is an issue as well.

    Shaky

    This tripod is one of the worst that I have seen/used. Because of the lack of tensile strength in the legs, this is pretty shaky. I have already purchased another one and donated this one to Goodwill.
