    This tripod is very light and compact. I wouldn't recommend using it in strong winds outdoors but that goes for every tripod in this price range. It's very easy to set up in my small apartment so that I can record myself playing guitar standing up. If I stand about 3 feet away from the tripod with it fully extended I can easily get my face and guitar in the shot.

    Wobbly Top

    The material seemed a little flimsy, but still would have worked for light cameras and phones. However, the top mount piece was very loose in it's attachment and was very wobbly, making keeping the camera still harder, especially in wind.

    It's an inexpensive tripod, you get what you pay for. Worked will, did the job. Takes a little to screw your camera on but maybe to was my cam- corder.

    Great for the price, good for hiking. Better for lighter weight cameras - connection tilts a bit with the heavier cameras.

    Is functional for the price but don’t expect excellent quality in the material because it’s fragile and if you put a professional camera you need adjust good the screws so it can be steady.

    Its alright for the price. Seems a bit weak wouldn't trust it during a windy day or uneven ground. Gets the job done though for simple cameras, I don't reccomend for dslrs

    The legs are a little flimsy, and it’s hard to adjust the head, but it serves its purpose for the price.

    Honestly I bought this for my son's soccer games. However, I have yet to actually use it. But my Sony camera does set perfectly and it seems sturdy & user friendly..

    this tripod is very light and portable, but rather flimsy. It's plastic construction makes it feel like it somewhat cheaply made. Surprised by its maximum extension/height, roughly 4ft tall. Stability bubble is handy. Main drawback is that the connector piece doesn't sit firmly into the top of the tripod. Need to be perfectly still when shooting because this tripod isn't the sturdiest. Should be fine for small cameras and phones, but wouldnt recommend for expensive DSLR's or the like. Buy only if you need a tripod right away and you're cheap, like me.

    Terrible Tripod

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This tripod is lightweight and compact, but it does not hold even a small compact digital camera in place. The piece of the tripod that is directly under the camera kept flopping down, even when the screw that holds it was screwed as tightly as possible. It's possible that the one I purchased was faulty, but the whole thing seemed to be really poor quality and mine was unusable.
