Excellent and light weight tripod for the money. Some plastic, some aluminum but works even with larger telephoto lens on.

I decided to purchase this tripod after having ready multiple reviews. It's a nice and sturdy tripod. I love the way it folds down so that it has a small form factor and easy to transport. It comes with it's own travel bag which is good. It is not a true "light, compact travel tripod" like the Vanguard VEO 2 204AB which I almost bought. I tried securing this tripod to my manfrotto DSLR backpack and it won't fit, it's too big. Reason I went with it though was because looking ahead, I might use a DSLR cage/jig and add my shotgun mic, 7" monitor etc to it, and the Vanguard can only handle about 9lbs. This tripod can handle like 26lbs.I don't mind sacrificing the weight capacity over portability so I'm happy with the purchase. I would recommend it. In an ideal world, I would buy the Vanguard 204 as well for those times I was just going to travel and needed something light.

The tripod came covered with tones of dust and it look like was stored somewhere humid.. The quality of tripod is good but it was disappointing to receive it in this condition. Had to wash the tripod bag and everything, don't want to send it back due to the current situation otherwise would probably demand a new one.

Well made piece of kit. Bought one for my grand daughter and she uses professionally. Will fit any camera with 14" thread (I.E. Most cameras) Should be good for video and brilliant for stills.

Good quality, seems sturdy enough & supports my DSLR & zoom lense. Not afraid of it falling down like my previous tripod which was way too light for the zoom lense. Used it in snow & on snowy deck, very stationary. I haven’t used it on a windy day yet. We’ll see if it stays put?

Stable, and solid equipment for video shoots! Very versatile, great hand grip and leg extensions. I bought these a few times for friends and work contacts.

Excellent tripod, I brought a cheaper one and sent it back for being rubbish and then purchased this one although a little more expensive for budget photographers this is well worth the money, very stable and compact, extremely lightweight and durable, I have used this a dozen times and it’s been perfect it also comes with a very good carry bag not like the cheaper ones, this carry bag is robust and can be carried a multitude of ways very happy.

Very happy with this. I actually hate having to use a tripod, so didn't want to splash out ££££s for something i dont enjoy using! But my priorities were: total folded length (to be able to fit it in my suitcase when travelling), weight, having a decent ball head, and leg clips and aren't too stiff or too loose.So far, it's ticked all the boxes. The clips that determine the angle of the legs do worry me a bit because i'm clumsy and can imagine snapping one off by trying to force the leg the wrong way, but that's on me.OVerall, i did a lot of comparison and i think this offers the best combination of price,weight and features currently available on Amazon.
