This is a very professional looking tripod with many setup options. I love that it breaks down into a monopod. But still left to lug a slightly bulky case with the rest of the tripod. I wish it had a pan arm on the ball mount. Came with a bonus aluminum cell phone adapter mount that I didn’t notice in the description. Easy to adjust the legs pans the ball mount is solid

I got this tripod for a variety of uses; landscapes to macro, portraits to travel. It is very versatile, and nice to have carry case to make it easy to bring with me.

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.

I have to admit, I've only had this tripod for 30 minutes. That said, I am quite impressed. I will follow-up this in a few months once I've actually *used* it, but initial impression is that this is a very sturdy, well-made tripod. It is not the lightest tripod I've owned, as those typically last a month or two, then I throw them away. I can tell you that will not happen with this tripod.

As the title says it is light and sturdy. Materials seem to be good quality (haven't had it long so I will update if it breaks unexpectedly) the rotating ball is a very nice touch, makes for some unique shot set ups.
Overall it seems as if it was actually designed by someone that wanted a tripod capable of being used in plenty of rugged situations.
If I was to harp on something it would be the camera mount. Most parts are made from high quality aluminum so I would like to see the mount done the same rather than plastic. As well (this is probably me not mounting it right) but the mounting plate that goes on the camera doesn't seem to fit like others do and it feels loose. I fixed it with a bit of craft foam to get it tight but I would like to see a mounting plate that fits an older camera a bit better.
Solid buy especially for the price.

The product arrives well packaged, it comes with a carrying bag. It is big sturdy and strong. Note that it is very flexible. It really is worth it!

My only real gripe with this is the ball. Works fine with a stock lens... but anything bigger and it wants to creep no matter how tight you get it. Great idea tho. Just, not without its design flaws.

The tripod works really well and is very sturdy. I use it constantly for shoots but the one thing that stresses me out is the top. I wish they provided a couple of them because that just makes too much sense for how small and it is. Otherwise, it's great.

This is a very good tripod in a good price.
The price is lower than the expensive tripods and the quality of this is similar or better.
I want to try the others products and see how good they are.
