I used and abused this tripod and it remains as strong as the day I bought it. A real warrior.

Ah, the camera tripod - boon and bane of the landscape photographer. I had been shooting with a rather aged Sears tripod that I picked up in a thrift shop for a few bucks, but I wanted something sturdier and more compact for a trip out west. It was indeed compact enough to stuff into my checked bag, and then into my 25L day-hike backpack, and it was also light enough that I didn't really feel it too badly whenever I took it along. When set up, it's a reasonable height for me, but I'm on the short side of average...if you're taller, I'd look for something that can extend higher. I will say that it's vastly more solid than the cheapo tripod I had been using. I really like the ball head; it helps me dial in the angle I want with minimal effort, and I can take portrait-orientation photos with it as well.
All in all, this is a good travel/hobbyist tripod. It was nice to have on this summer's travels, and it's continuing to be useful on my photo excursions more locally.

This is the first ball-and-socket tripod that I've used. There are fewer moving parts, folds up into a smaller, lighter package than what I've used in the past, and is decently sturdy. The adjustment features provide more options and with fewer moving parts. The hardware seems very sturdy, and the colors are very cool and unique looking.

Very very well made, sturdy, best tripod for the money by far. Comes with a level bubble on it. Very impressed with this
