    If you are looking for a steady shot this is perfect. It has two different Levels on it to make sure you get the straightest shot. easy to set up. great overall product the only thing that would give this five stars is if they made it a little more video moving friendly but other then that, for the price you can't beat it.

    An Amazing Tripod For An Amazing Price

    I bought this tripod becuase my older one had served its purpose and was on the way out. I was suprised at just how premium this tripod is for its price. For context it regularly goes on sale for $39.99, which is an amazing price. Everything else is great too, the metal frame, pistol grip (compact and easy to use), and its adjustable up to a very reasonable height. Overall, its a great tripod for its price ans I highly recommend. Nothing disappoints me about it.

    Very lightweight, you can attach to a backpack and forget about it. My favorite part is the pistol grip style handle. Makes adjusting so much easier when speed is important. Especially with heavier lens.

    I thought I should go the cheep route at first in getting a tripod, when they started to prove to be defected, I restored to not caring of the price but the quality. Since I purchased this product I haven't had any regrets, it's better to invest on a quality item over a less quality and cheeper price.

    Doe a great job. Very sturdy, very steady. I like the pistol grip, and more so that it and the base have bubble levels. I gave it four stars because I would like to see graduated angle markings on the head so you knew how far you were adjusting it (like the Monfrottos), but you get what you pay for.

    I bought this because I wanted to take better night pictures. The tripod is excellent, versatile and lightweight. The only reason I don't give it a 5 stars is because you can not point the camera more than 50 degrees to the sky. But you can play with the legs lengths to achieve higher angles.

    It's a great prosumer tripod. I have used it successfully with my EOS-M to video tape segments, as well as my logitech webcam c930e. It is definitely more sturdy than the Targus brand I purchased a two years earlier from Walmart. Great purchase for the price. I didn't want to invest much more and don't feel cheated.

    Feels solid and sturdy. I don't have to worry about dropping it and breaking. I like how it has bubble levels to make sure that the tripod is level regardless of the terrain. I would recommend this for anyone looking for their first tripod.

    I bought a similar pro master tripod 5 years ago and it had the same pistol grip head as this tripod. Lasted me 4 years of professional real estate photography. This tripod legs are not stable but the head is totally worth the money. If I could just buy the head I would buy two.

    Works great I really like the easy to tilt function and it also has 2 bubble levels built in which is very convenient .I use mine mostly for YouTube filming so I am not having to move it around much, but it was easy enough to set up and adjust when I do need to move it. Very affordable price

    I bought this for my son who need something light and that can adjust the camera with better angles then his older tripod. He likes the handgrip because it's easier for him to move the camera around when mounted on the tripod and has more control when filming trains, yes he is a train nut.

    To review this item would not be fair to give it a 5 star as for my use. Although it served my purpose for balance, construction, ease of use, portability was lost due to size. I’m not a pro, I was only looking for a tripod to support a weighted, motorized gimbe and my iPhone.

    I needed a tripod in a pinch and figured this one was a throwaway. My mistake. It needed the swivel head tightened a bit and it has now become my favorite tripod. Lightweight and sturdy, and the swivel head is the bomb!

    Strong and sturdy stand that is light weight. The adjustable legs are easy to set and lock at different hights for uneven terrain. The pistol grip handle makes it easy to set your camera in the position needed for your photos.

    Its a nice tripod for amateur use. it stays a little closer to the ground that I thought it would but it works great to video my yoga practice. It takes a little extra effort to center the camera just its nice and sturdy.

    I compared the different tripods available in the store and this one seemed to be the best option. I liked the pistol-grip ball head and this tripod was sturdier than the more expensive "better" brand. It works fine for a Cannon T7i.

    This tripod is a great medium duty tripod with features found in much more expensive tripods. It's relatively light if you gotta lug it around but heavy enough it won't tip over.
