I wasn't expecting much from such a low-priced tripod, but it's incredibly well-built. The leg extension clamps hold well, as do all the adjustments at the mount. Buttery smooth pan and tilt actions, but they lock well, and the spirit and bubble levels help enormously. For equipment under 2kg I highly recommend it, especially for portable use. It even has a handle on the side for moving it to a new position without risking sliding something of place by grabbing it elsewhere. Comes in a nice zip-up carry case also. Only two complaints: The carry case is a very snug fit around the mounting part, and requires you to collapse the tripod in exactly the right way to get it in there at all. The rotary lever that extends the centre post sometimes skips over the track it's supposed to lock into if you try to extend or collapse it too quickly. All in all, very happy with my purchase, and I'm fairly certain I would have paid at least $50 for the same thing at my local camera store.Read full review

The tripod legs are stable and work fine. However, the panhead needs some design work. The locking screw tends to lift the camera attachment slightly when tightened. The Panhead assembly is stiff and takes some force to move it in a horizontal plane. The vertical plane, which is adjusted by a handle (not to be confused with the up and down winder) is also stiff. The locking not for this, doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, I purchased this not realising that this is poorly engineered and manufactured lacking in any precision. I guess, you get what you paid for.

This really is a quality product, very impressed with all the features especially like the quick release attachment plate for camera mounting. All features are quick & easy to use. The tripod is aluminum alloy so is light & comes with a strong carry bag making transporting easy. Postage is speedy. Delighted with my new purchase & highly recommend.

It's cheap for a tripod with it's included features. Although it is mostly plastic, there is a handle that is created with metal and there is also foam that is attached on the three legs. The head is unfortunately not fluid and not that smooth. But great for still videography and photography!

Pan and tilt function is a little sticky, not smooth to operate. May improve with use, or application of silicone spray. Quick-detach feature is good, (although not compatible with other Q/D mounts). I'm pleased with the product.
