Several users reported instances of legs breaking or becoming damaged easily, even upon initial use. The inflexibility of the legs was also a common complaint. Overall, the product's structural integrity appears to be a significant point of customer dissatisfaction.

Love the idea. Had it for a couple months. Worked great until I tried to make a last minute adjustment with my digital camera on it. The camera and swivel mount snapped off it my hand with the breaking point being between where the legs come together and where the swivel tightens. I am going to check into the warranty, but it may be cheaper or easier to buy a new one depending on shipping costs. I tried to super glue it, but it was just too small of a surface.

it is hard to bend the legs, which is ok, but at the point where the legs connect to the mount it's very loose. it is very cheaply made, and i have had a very hard time getting it mount well in any position but just standing on it's 3 legs. the part that connects to the camera is not very sturdy, and wobbles easily. you can get something that works way better for about the same price.

I purchased this because of the great design and it would have given me a lot of flexibility for my digital camera. However, less than 17 hours of usage, 2 of the legs broke off just under the base where the camera would be mounted. The concept of this design is great, however, it needs to be made of some other flexible material instead of the aluminum that is wrapped in the outter plastic. I was tempted to exchange this for another one, but I think a traditional tripod (small tabletop type) will suite my purpose better. Again, this is a great design, but the flexible legs need to be made of a strong flexible material.
