I didn't expect to get a really high quality tri-pod for this price but I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this item. The locks on the leg extensions work perfectly and the pan, tilt and lift feature works just fine. If you are looking for a cheap tri-pod for occasional use, and for a camera or large set of binoculars that is not really heavy, this one is perfect.

Pros: Compact, light weight, good leg locks, extends to full 60 inches. Cons: Very small almost toy-like QR plate, center column has slight tendency to wobble during raising/lowering of head, some plastic pieces that seem rather cheap. Overall, for $17.95, this would be a good tripod for beginning shooters with small cameras and quick set-ups. DSLRs or heavier video cameras, it would seem, are much to cumbersome for something this light weight.

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS TRIPOD; HIEGHT IS MORE THAN ADDICUT FOR TAKING EYE LEVEL PHOTOS OR VIDEO, TRIPOD IS VERY STABLE EVEN WHEN FULLY RAISED, ALL FEATURES WORK WELL AND THE QUALITY IS VERY GOOD FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL TRIPOD. COULD BE IMPROVED; THE CRANK IS A LITTLE ROUGH AS I NEEDED TO STABILIZE THE CAMERA WHILE MOVING UP OR DOWN. FOR UNDER $30.00 THIS IS AN OVERALL GOOD VALUE.

It is the same size as our higher quality/more expensive stand. It's an identical design with the same features. Yes, clearly it is not the same quality but it is also lighter and more portable, which is what I wanted. I only bought it to hold a cell phone or ipad and its a perfect fit. I wouldn't try to use it with a heavy expensive camera.

This is one of those products you should spend a little extra for better quality elsewhere. The metal supports (edit: just noticed its not metal; its cheap hard plastic) that link the tripod's legs together are poorly made and brittle. One was already broken when I opened the bag and little pieces fell out. I tested (as best I could) to see if it might be worth getting another one. This is what I decided : Do you really want to risk an expensive camera by placing it on something like this? Sure, you can save a bit by buying this type but I honestly wouldn't expect it to hold against a brisk breeze and it would be infuriating to damage a quality camera over a product like this.
