Bought as a Present for my Son who wanted to upgrade His Tripod to a Lighter combination Monopod/Tripod.Arrived ontime, well packaged. He is very statisfied with the Item and has said it is well constructed.A excellent more affordable alternative too more exspensive versions - that don't offer any more in benfits or features in regards to Photography while taking Pictures.Early days yet but so far I've been very impressed with the quality of this tripod. Seems to be made to a high standard and supports my Canon SLR very well. Great for the price, would recommendCracking price for a good piece of equipment. Seems to be well made.Fantastic solid and sturdy very pleased great price definitely worth the money.I needed something lightweight, quick to assemble/disassemble, had a good wide range of movement for different angles and would elevate to a good height and this fitted my needs, it arrived in a long branded box with a plastic sleeve covering it along with an instruction sheet and draw string carry case.I love this tripod. It does everything I wanted it to. Looked at other reviews before I purchased and could see some negative feedback, but it holds my Canon just fine. Maybe I can see what others are saying that it feels a little flimsy once all legs have been fully lengthened (If you want more then buy one that extends further) but I don't need the full height so it's perfect for me
