When I saw this tripod at this price, I assumed it would be cheaply made and break easy...I don't think so. The legs are durable aluminum, the tripod head looks to be a durable polymer, maybe ABS plastic. It's tough and can hold some weight. I had my 70-200 on it and it held fine at a 45°.

Folded up it's super compact and easily held with one hand, and light weight. Fully expanded, it's crazy tall, around 7'. I wouldn't recommend anything heavy on it while fully expanded but that's just me being cautious. I bet it could hold it especially with some weight hanging from the integrated sandbag hook but honestly who's shooting at 7' anyway?

The head is well built and capable of any angle. It flips allowing for a quick switch from horizontal to vertical orientation. It comes with 2 mounting plates which is nice to have one ready to mount to any camera. The other i keep attached to the included phone mount. I have a S24 Ultra (big phone) and it fit in the mount both horizontal and vertical.

Everything fits in the included compact bag. Overall, this tripod is a great value! And for the price, it's not a risk to try yourself.
