The quick version - this tripod is amazing, get it home and look no further.
The long version - decided to purchase this as an upgrade to an older, lighter and less sturdier tripod that served me well for quite some time, but was rather wobbly in windy weather. The tripod came packaged nicely, so I expect no issues whatsoever with transit.
It comes with a nice carrying case that also features a shoulder strap if you're into this sort of stuff. Setting it up is quite easy and natural if you're into photography, but in case you feel unsure about something - it also features a user guide, which is fairly descriptive.
Once extended, the notable features can be easily spotted - nice build quality, smooth rotational head, padded grip on the side for carrying (no more cold hands..), side-extensible arm for some top-down shots (though expect to have to cut on the tripod itself in post as arm is not too long anyway), quite sturdy, fast lock-unlock of legs, leveler on the head..
Overall, I believe the tripod is well worth the money and looking at the build quality I expect it to last for quite some time. 5/5, would totally recommend.

Excellent quality...added carry bag is very useful as well.
Design is easy to use and VERY flexible for all those awkward shots!

Needed to get something more serious for photo and video use. This thing is versatile with a bunch of configuration options. It's well made and solid.

Once you’ve made the decision to move on past your first “$30” basic tripod there are sooooo many different choices / options - it can be hard to decide which one to choose from. This tripod is very light and portable and quick to set up, but most importantly, offers endless options for every imaginable shooting situation as far as angles / camera positions and what the tripod is standing on (even / un-even terrain, stairs, table tops etc) and is super good for low to the ground shots used in macro photography and some cinematic shots. Note: this is not a heavy, sturdy tripod which is what you’d want for study portrait/still/video work - if that’s what your after there are better options - this is a great on-the-go tripod option for your mobile photography needs.

My first experience with this type of tripod, and I am not disappointed. Feels as good as other bigger brands which cost much more. Thoroughly recommend it.

This is a good as described. It is both lightweight, but sturdy. Well built with good materials. I needed to be able to mount the camera on the end of the horizontal rod in order to get a perfect overhead shot of grouped food items. The rod is not long enough to get that shot, but I am glad to have the tripod anyway. It folds into a very compact bag. It has become my favorite tripod. I get the food shot another way. Worth what I paid, and was described properly.

He makes YouTube videos with tablet and phone and uses this with ease. From standard tripod to filming pages of script this is perfect for him.
