The tripod is very sturdy, light weight, and has lot of features and uses. Well built and looks professional.However, both tripods I have received leaked a sort of oil/fluid where the joints were which made your fingers and the joints sticky at times. Also, the tripod is not very good for portrait orientation and when being folded, the ball-head with its plate mounting mechanism blocks the legs from folding as small as it could. Other than that, it is a great tripod and it definitely stands out from other cheaper alternatives!

For the price, it definitely exceeds expectations. It performs just as well as any tripod and it being so light makes the payload on my bag more manageable. I survived casually walking around the city with this on my backpack for 7-hours (with breaks). The only gripe I have with this is that if you do long-exposure shots, the lightest bump to the tripod can cause enough vibration/shaking to affect your shot. I've yet to try it on a relatively windier day. I will try updating this review until then.

So far I like it, I never use the last set of legs on the tripod they seam very small for a larger lens. Build quality is good. I have done some long exposure and it doesn't look like it caused any motion blur.

Happy with this....haven’t used it a whole lot planning on taking this trip needed the compact travel size. Good quality

This is a great travel Tripod for me. I'm really happy with it.The quality of this tripod is really impressive. when taken out of the box, you're introduced to the thick and durable carry case in which the tripod lies. The body of the tripod feels strong and robust. I believe its made of aluminium, when pulling out the legs they click in to place letting you know how far you have pulled them out and gives you a sense of security, knowing that this isn't going to fold in. each click and clip feels like its permanent, (until you want to change it)The body is made of aluminium so it's light and durable. You can carry it with one hand or even attach it to your own backpack or camera bag.The head is very straight forward to use, the ball joint at the top lets you have the camera in any position you desire. you can turn from landscape to portrait in seconds.This tripod goes as high as 62" which is almost as tall as me, (i'm 6ft) but as it extends to this height, it does then start to get a little weak, but it can be weighed down with a camera bag hook at the bottom. The Tripod can have all its legs at 90 degrees and and get really low.Overall this tripod is strong and durable for most and everyday camera usage and Ideal for any photographer looking for a compact tripod solution.

love this tripod! have purchased some cheaper tripods in the past but this one is by far better. hold my dslr without having to worry about it buckling. feels sturdy and appears to be designed for durability.

Very pleased with this product, a great bargain for the price. I especially like the quick release plate and the fact I can use it at eye level. The ball head makes things a lot easier as well.

The ball head movea slightly as you tighten the head. Otherwise it’s a decent tripod for the money. I use it mostly as a B-camera tripod when shooting video.

too good for it's price, very good product

It is very lite... But it feels like it is a little bit overpriced. I saw $50 tripods with higher quality/features.
