    I bought this to use at home. It works great for my needs. But it may not work for others, it’s lightweight. If there’s a lot of movement around it, like an accidental bump, it could tip over. I don’t feel comfortable using it outside.

    This tripod is exactly what I needed. I hooked an outdoor video camera along with a solar panel. I use this to capture outdoor images in my rural backyard.

    Works fine. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is the legs are skinny and might be fragile. I like the bubble levels to help get everything stable and set for the shot.

    My wife and I purchased this tripod as a last minute resort. We were very surprised with the versatility and sturdiness of it! We shot our maternity photos using this and the results are amazing. Highly recommended!

    I used this in my carry on bag for an international trip. I wanted a decent tripod that would stand up to the elements and yet be compact enough to carry everywhere. I read the reviews online and this tripod held up in -20 degree weather with 30 mph winds.

    Purchased this to replace an ancient Vivitar tripod. It works great, lightweight and portable, adjustable tripod head, easy to level. Just don't expect to use it for heavy duty use.

    Very light weight, easy to open up and pack away. Does not have a very smooth pan if you are using for video cameras, but it's about the best you can find for the money.

    I like it a lot, I take it on hikes with my on the outside of my pack and it gets beat up quite a bit, but besides the scratches from my abuse, the tripod holds up just fine! I would buy it again.

    I love this tripod. I have bought several from Walmart and they don't last longer then 3 months. The tripod I purchased from best buy is awesome. It is sturdy for a great price and I would purchase again

    Not a bad tripod for the price. The height adjuster broke within a week but not a vital piece for me. Pay for what you get and this tripod is a good midrange tripod.

    Love this thing! Bought it because it was taller than the other tripods available, but LOVE that it came with adapters for both my GoPro and iPhone too! So handy to just have one piece of equipment for everything!

    Nice tripod. Does what it needs to do. Not super light, but also not too heavy. It's being used with an old Canon EOS Rebel.

    Nice backup tripod to keep around the house. I attached a webcam to it to use to record me while I teach. You can be so creative with a tripod for classroom use and what steal at the price.
