    Not very sturdy, hard to keep level, moves constantly, and broken within a month after being used twice.

    The support bars holding the legs broke shortly after purchasing the product. Once the support bars broke then, the tripod started to fall apart.

    After a month of use, the "geared center column" no longer works because the metal teeth stripped the plastic gear. Best Buy won't accept as a return; have to go through Sunpak. You not only have to pay to send it back to them but you also have to include $9.95 for them to return it to you after repair. No way to just get your original purchase price back.

    I bought this tripod thinking it would be of poor quality but I liked it. It has 3 adjustments which makes it easy to use.

    The product does not feel sturdy. Defiantly not worth the price. Go 10-20 bucks more get something Stuart

    I wound up exchanging this tripod for another one by Manfrotto which was much better quality...cost a little more but worth it in my opinion.

    Ive bought inexpensive tripods before because most of them do the job. I thought the same about this one but unfortunately, the both levels were off. One of them wasnt even placed properly. The top mount was crooked. I ended up returning it.

    The legs of the tripod are great. The part that attaches to the camera is Mediocre at best.

    We ordered two of these tripods to take on a trip where we would be hiking and taking photos. The screw on the piece that attaches the camera stripped out on one and a plastic adjustment knob broke on the other. Very disappointing as we had read good reviews of the tripod. Might be okay for light use around the house, but it didn't hold up to activity.

    My Daughter is a photographer and adding this tripod to her equipment allows her to get mutitable shots of the same subject at different heights using the iphone and GoPro adapters.
