Very good product! Good value. If anything to improve, the 3 legs can be stronger and heavier.

It's a nice lightweight tripod that folds up into a fairly small package. It's good for a travel tripod. Due to its construction materials, I would be careful of dropping it. However, it's a good tradeoff for its weight improvement over my Manfrotto. I wouldn't take my hand off of it if it's windy, but the hook underneath should stead it if you hang a heavy enough bag on it. If you're planning to put an SLR on this that isn't one of those lightweight intro models, I would definitely use a bag weight underneath. Otherwise the setup will be fairly top heavy and a little unstable.The one annoying thing is that the head has a screw in tightener instead of a lever-based clip for the plate on the head. It makes getting a camera on and off a little annoying. It's a small quibble for the price of it ($80 on a Lightning deal, $100 regular) and the feature set you get with it.

Ive had this tripod for about four months now and I absolutely love it. Super durable and decently light weight. Works great for everything I use it for. Biggest plus for me is that the legs are not a spin to unlock instead they are that little flip lock. Makes extending and putting away the tripod so much faster. Also it extends to quite a high height I'm 6,4 and it works fine for straight on head shots if im ever filming myself

I have only used it a couple of times. Smooth and quick set up. I like the various heights and angles that you are able to use. The locks are tight right now, but I feel like they could be sensitive to knocks and bumps or brittle in the colder elements.I am happy with the tripod, if I can get two or three years use, with no broken parts. I will change the ratings too 5☆

So far its everything I wanted on a tripod it has. I use it in a fixed location and it rarely badged when wind blew on it. I purchased this so as to have a quality tripod that would be stable when set up and plenty room for adjustments, but the primary element that attracted me to this one is the ability to tip the head to a horizontal position so as to allow the camera to look down upon a subject. The locking mechanism is really sturdy as well, easy to switch between different position. Diffidently recommend to other ppl

Would have loved this but just not considered "professional" or "Heavy Duty" if the top of the tripod (the part that gets used the most) is made of plastic. Great set of features though, but just to expect to last a long time.

Really good and durable. First trip to Seattle. Took some cool shots at Kerry park. Compact and very extensible
