Great tripod. I now have a much sturdier tripod in my inventory. Very versatile as well.

For the price this is a really great tripod. It may not be the lightest or sturdiest but it's definitely not hundreds of dollars more to get that slight difference. The features it includes does put it in the same category as those costing hundreds more. I've included a picture of the manual that came with since a few people said they didn't get one. I didn't really find a need for it as it's very simple to use and figure out. Overall very pleased with the tripod so far.

I’m not a professional photographer, I purchased this for a laser level I wanted something very sturdy. It is very nice looking and it is sturdy. I would buy it again for sure it is really high-quality

The quality, design and affordability of this product can't be beat. Bought it because im in the process of starting a company and I needed a tripod. This thing is incredibly sturdy and versatile with a really good design. Comes with a little travel case as well. Very compact once packed up. If youre debating whether or not to get it, just click the checkout button, you won't be dissapointed.

This is the first tripod I've bought in a loooooooong time. Most of my shots these days comes from a smartphone that's being handheld so I was really looking forward to buying this for my XT4. All and all this is an amazing tripod for the price and there isn't a whole lot more you could reasonably ask for it.

Pros
- This thing is feature rich. It has a gear hook, monopod, and the ball head assembly is entirely removable which really helps distribute the weight of the thing when it's hanging off the side of a bag.
- Smooth actuation. Sometimes the locks get in the way of breaking it down but I'm actually listing this as a pro. If you actuate the legs to their furthest position at each stop then try to push them any further the locks will really get in the way. This means that if your leg is going to give way on terrain it's going to stop pretty easy.

- Plenty tall when you extend the center column. I'm 6' and I can bring my camera to eye level easily.

Cons
- This thing is not light. It's on par for other aluminum tripods but if you're really looking to drop your weight look into carbon fiber.

- The monopod leg is SLIGHTLY shorter than the rest of the other legs. This isn't too big of a problem if you take some time to balance the other two legs. It's also not a problem if you're shooting landscape and wildlife and you're already going to have an uneven distribution between the legs.

Missing/Neutral
- No threads to put feet or screws on the bottom of the mount. Not a problem for me but do be advised that if you're shooting on sand or water and you want feet it could be an issue. Not sure why you'd buy this tripod for that purpose at this price point anyway.

Upgraded my old tripod to this new design and I'm pretty pleased with it. I bought a K&C Concept tripod two years ago, it was more of a traditional design, which worked really well for me past two years. However, that was a little bulky, even when folded and in its bag, so it was harder to bring it during travelling. I checked for newer tripod design and saw this so I gave it a try, and it was much better design than its predecessor. When this tripod is folded, and stores in its carrying bag, it's only about 20 inches long. The carrying case is also well padded, so it's easier to wear on my shoulders. The tripod itself also weight much lighter, provides much better portability. I like the new ball head design, it's easier and faster to securely attach/remove my Canon DSLR onto it and easier to rotate it 360 degrees during photoshoot. It can also be changed into a monopod quickly by pulling up the center stick. The three legs looks smaller, but they are sturdier and can be locked/unlocked faster. The orange metal pieces on the tripod also make it looks much nicer and more attractive than those standard one color tripod out there. Overall, it was a really upgrade for me.

Nice tripod strong and sturdy dose the job

I have multiple tripods, but this one is definitely worth the money spent. Very sturdy.

The stand is great and has alot of cool features. The only issue I'm having is with the mounting screw that attaches the camera to the stand. It's pretty short and I have a hard time getting it mounted, there should be more threads on the screw.

Very well built strong construction smooth operation fairly lightweight comes with its own strong fabric bag
