Many of the other tripods I've used with my dslr tend to flex a bit while snapping the shutter, this thing is rock solid. I only gave it 4 stars for the weight as it is sortta heavy, but the weight definitely adds to the stability of this thing. There's a video review of an owner struggling with removing the monopod leg from the tripod. In my case this was a very smooth process. I'm guessing he has a burr on one of the threads. I really love the adjustability and feel of this tripod and would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a great modular stand without breaking the bank.

The camera works great!

Nice camera for the value.

Good for beginners and works well for the price.
