My biggest worry about buying a light tripod was that the manufacturer would skimp out on material and I'd get a flimsy thing. But this tripod was very stable and solidly built. It really was lighter than other tripods I've used before. The tripod was able to fold up pretty compactly as well. Legs extend the tripod to about 150 cm high, give or take. The screw is the standard screw, so I was able to use it with my action camera. The head of the tripod has a built in level as well, so you can easily set the tripod and camera level. Brought it up a mountain with me no probs.

Very pleased with this! Good price and seems to be very sturdy and excellent quality! Much better than my last tripod, and I love that it has a roller ball head. Also comes with a nice carrying case. Came very quickly too!

Very sturdy and versatile tripod with monopod option. Will work great from a small camcorder p to massive telephoto lens support.

Works great and is lightweight. I had been holding off getting a tripod for awhile because I hadn't really run across many uses for a full size one for what I do but I recently opened an online clothing business and I needed one. I am glad that I did. I shoot with a Canon 60D with a battery grip attached and usually either my 100mm macro or my Tamron 17-55, neither of which are super heavy lenses but aren't light like, say, the nifty-fifty. My camera usually has some weight to it with all gear attached and this tripod held up under pressure, even with my camera attached and rotated 90 degrees. It didn't feel unstable at all. I also love that it collapses so small. Would recommend for the photo enthusiast.

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.

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.
