A sturdy and feature rich tripod that is tall enough to reach my eye level. This tripod is much lighter than my ancient entry level mancotta, has nice features, and comes with a good case. All of that at a price that is hard to believe.

Pretty decent little tripod for the cost. To those saying it's too heavy, perhaps eat some more protein based food because this is beyond light.The only real complaint I have is the leg release locks on the main hub where all 3 attach. It's rather flimsy but very very minor detail and doesn't stop me from using this tripod in any way shape or form. I tested it out for stability on my 1984 Canon AE-1 Program and put my longest lense onto it. Locked everything down and gave things a good wiggle. The tripod held up well and I feel confident taking it out in the field. It's a good height and I really like the twist locks on the legs. It's compact enough that it will fit into the side of a camera back pack with no issues. The carrying bag is decent quality it seems and is a nice add on. If you're thinking about ordering it, go ahead. It's a nice little tripod for the field and folds up quite compact.

This is the first tripod I've bought in a loooooooong time. Most of my shots these days comes from a smartphone that's being handheld so I was really looking forward to buying this for my XT4. All and all this is an amazing tripod for the price and there isn't a whole lot more you could reasonably ask for it.Pros- This thing is feature rich. It has a gear hook, monopod, and the ball head assembly is entirely removable which really helps distribute the weight of the thing when it's hanging off the side of a bag.- Smooth actuation. Sometimes the locks get in the way of breaking it down but I'm actually listing this as a pro. If you actuate the legs to their furthest position at each stop then try to push them any further the locks will really get in the way. This means that if your leg is going to give way on terrain it's going to stop pretty easy.- Plenty tall when you extend the center column. I'm 6' and I can bring my camera to eye level easily.Cons- This thing is not light. It's on par for other aluminum tripods but if you're really looking to drop your weight look into carbon fiber.- The monopod leg is SLIGHTLY shorter than the rest of the other legs. This isn't too big of a problem if you take some time to balance the other two legs. It's also not a problem if you're shooting landscape and wildlife and you're already going to have an uneven distribution between the legs.Missing/Neutral- No threads to put feet or screws on the bottom of the mount. Not a problem for me but do be advised that if you're shooting on sand or water and you want feet it could be an issue. Not sure why you'd buy this tripod for that purpose at this price point anyway.

The quality, design and affordability of this product can't be beat. Bought it because im in the process of starting a company and I needed a tripod. This thing is incredibly sturdy and versatile with a really good design. Comes with a little travel case as well. Very compact once packed up. If youre debating whether or not to get it, just click the checkout button, you won't be dissapointed.

It looks and feel nice. Comes in a good carry case. Is quick and easy to assemble and is versatile. My only complaint is the camera mount cleat screw, which seem to loosen up very easily if being active with the camera and needs constant retightening to keep the camera stable.

I researched Many options before choosing this tripod. I needed some thing that was sturdy yet lightweight and easy to carry around. All the prices I was getting locally at my camera stores were over $200 for tripods.When I received this in the mail I was actually amazed at the quality. I have a friend who will be purchasing this exact one soon as we went for a shoot and her very expensive tripod snapped at the pivot joint.She was impressed with this piece of equipment for the what little I paid.
