Initial impressions of this tripod (as a camera newbie) are very good. Fit and finish is really nice and it went up easily and is very stable. The integrated level makes adjustments so much easier to dial in and the snaps on the legs hold very tight and are easy to use. It comes with a good assortment of accessories based on your needs and I had it setup to my liking in just a few minutes from opening the box.

This also has a hook for a counterweight to hang from that is super solid. I was able to easily hang some ballast from it and it definitely improves stability. Dialing everything to keep a tight and smooth pan/tilt was very easy. It doesn't skip or jump at all, it is perfect.

The included bluetooth shutter button worked perfectly on the first try for me - a really nice bonus.

Without looking at the listing you would never know it's such a cheap tripod. It clearly isn't a super high end one, but for most people this will be better than anything else you could get in this price range. They clearly take pride in their product and present it well and it delivers on that.

It's just a very, very good value for the money and for my basic needs (phone camera and a light weight SLR) it is perfect and I am super happy with it. It should be still good to use as I upgrade equipment in the future without spending the tax of super high-end equipment.
