The tripod was a touch different in operation than I thought. It's a bit complicated but quickly figured out.
The upside down low angle is an awesome idea but theres no stabability to lock the legs on slippery smooth surfaces.

I needed a tripod to hold up a tele-promoter. It weighs a bit more and this tripod stated it could hold several pounds. I've been using for a couple months now and I am very happy with the performance of the tripod. I'd recommend this product for any type of need in tripod. It holds several pounds and is still light weight to carry if necessary.

Because of Covid, I've been using video more than ever. My phone has significantly better quality of video than anything else I have, but I don't need a ringlight type of set up since I'm not doing instagram kind of stuff. While a tad pricey, this product is easy to use, well designed and built, and has more features and ease of use than the old tripod I had been using. If you need better than cheap but don't need professional (although, this is professional quality in regards to my needs), give this product a try.

This is a very nice little tripod. We were looking for a light weight , foldable tripod for our cameras. This tripod height can be adjusted in three ways. You can also keep it firm in different positions. It comes with a nice little carrier bag. We really liked the size of it. You can easily put this in a carry on luggage.

I have been using it with the original 5D for a few days. The tripod goes a lot higher than expected. There is a spirit meter. The ball is metal. The tripod mount is compact and feels strong. I couldn't test it in wind though.

I bought this tripod mainly for filming on a table and taking photos for my blog articles. It is a bit heavy compared to other tripods I own. The roture provided with is not bad but I regret a little that the quick release is not by clip. I had to weight it to counterbalance with my lumix on it because I had to extend my arm in a horizontal position almost to the maximum to film my hands correctly. The kneecap tends to move even when aimed at the bottom. In short, to set up and adjust regularly which is a bit of a shame when you want to save time. It's still a good quality/price ratio compared to the Rolls of tripods, but it's likely that I'll change my tripod again in a while given the little things that I don't like on this one.

Hi, I have been testing this for the last 3 days. The tripod feels sturdy even with large lenses on it. Being able to convert to a monopod is handy as you don’t have to carry both but the process does take a minute. At this price point, I was unsure of the quality of the tripod, but I can say that the concept is an amazing tripod for photography. It is rock solid even in winds. Although weight may seem like an initial con, the fact is that this tripod is light enough to carry with me yet heavy enough to sustain moderate to somewhat heavy winds for long exposures.If you are looking for a tripod for your camera that is of outstanding quality without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this tripod.Overall great tripod

I used it with my canon 5d and a sigma 150 600 zoom to which I added a canon 2x focal length multiplier which gave me a 300 x 1200 mm. At night, I used long exposures to capture stars and a sunset. Of course I used a remote shutter to avoid any movement. The foot supported the weight which was 3 to 4 kg well and my photos are successful. Just one thing, I haven't figured out how to turn it into a monopod yet. I will read the note again.

Very good product which offers many possibilities for a good shot requiring the use of the foot. Too bad that a counterweight system is not offered when the upper bar is in a horizontal position, for the stability of this placement.
