The tripod is great in concept. I would have preferred they put no head on it as opposed to the cheap one that came with it. It can't hold any weight at all, making the ball head pretty much useless. I am looking to find another head for it.It isn't as sturdy as my Manfrotto, but my Manfrotto cost a lot more and is too tall to be effective in macro photography which is why I bought this.The rest of it is pretty ingenious. Overcome the head issue and it will make a pretty effective macro tripod. I hope it is something I can quickly overcome because the concept is awesome!

As far as the hardware itself, this is a good piece of equipment -- lightweight, sturdy, and easy to set up and take down. However it gets downgraded a star for user experience, particularly for non-professionals with their first tripod. The instructions, for example, consist of several sentences that were apparently written in Chinese (original on the back side?) and then rendered into English by a very early version of Google Translate. Fortunately, there are links to videos on the Amazon site, and using these, I was able to assemble the tripod and mount my camera. It took a couple of more days to get the all wobbles out, and I still don't have a clue what one piece of metal hardware is for. Everything seems to function OK without it.Having said all of that, the system works great. If you can get past set-up, you'll have a fine tripod at a most reasonable price.

I recently received this tripod as a gift from a patron and used it in The Bahamas on an assignment. It is quite sturdy and I find it useful, especially when I was making a few quick panoramic images. It is not perfect; but it is definitely one of the best travel tripods I have used in over a decade.

Returned it! Too short and the camera plate is plastic. I'm not setting my DSLR with zoom lense on plastic. Doesn't make sense everything else is metal and looks well made but the make the plate and base plastic!

I really like the double ball head design which was lacking from my previous tripod.This design provide much more flexiability when changing shooting angles and hold the much strongly where as my single head tripod would easily slide from time to time.

I bought this to hold my mirrorless camera to travel around. It came with a carrying leg to hold the tripod and accessories. It has great quality metal tripod legs and is lightweight, which make it easy to carry around. The legs can be easily adjusted and can also be converted to a monopod. When it comes to holding the camera, it is very firm and sturdy. The 360 degree rotation is stable and great for landscape and panorama shooting.

It feels cheap and unstable with D7000 with a flash unit attached.
