Good tripod, for the price
It works good. It has all the angles and pivots of your standard tripod. Its not as light as you might think though for being so small when folded up.

Overall, this is a decent bargain tripod. The legs appear to be aluminum, and most of the rest of the unit is plastic or PVC. It has a quick-release head for attaching your camera but it only comes with one quick-release attachment, which sort of reduces the utility of it, although I’m sure you can buy more somewhere. The BAD news is that this unit is cheap, light and flimsy. The GOOD news is that it is that it is cheap and light! For the price, I would call it an excellent value, especially for someone who needs to carry it around with them since it is so light weight. Many ultra-light tripods feature a hook on the bottom of the centerpost that allows you to tie a bag of rocks or dirt or whatever to weigh down the tripod for steadier shooting. Although the picture of this item shows such a hook, my unit did not come with one. Fortunately you can always tie a weight on with string if you need to. If you have a slightly higher budget I would recommend looking at the various tripods by Sunpak first. And if you can afford them I would also look at Slik brand tripods as well.

A well made cheappo.
I had a really fine tripod in excess of $100 that belonged to my roommate which we both used on weekend trips.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews. . . but I’ve appreciated all the other Amazon users that do so in aiding my purchase decisions and would like to reciprocate the favor. First off. . . the item is just as pictured. Contrary to a previous post, there is a hook for stabilization. Nobody mentioned that the tripod has a directly mounted carry handle also (kinda like a briefcase handle). Pros: light, stabilizer hook, carry handle, carry case (perfect fit – doesn’t add bulk), dual liquid bubbles, and quite study for the price (which is pretty damn cheap and sufficient for most users). Cons: materials used may not be the best quality. . . I wouldn’t want to place my $5000 digital SLR on this (which I don’t have), but if you’re a pro, you’d probably spend >$100 for one anyhow. Very please with purchase. Highly recommend!

This tripod has everything you would ever want, from it’s quick release plate in the tilting head, to it’s crank elevator with locking ring, to it’s easy to use leg locks to its self leveling, gimballed rubber feet. The tripod’s legs brace to the center post and lock. There are spirit levels on the the head and at the point where the legs meet. there is even a hook on the bottom of the elevator post for your camera bag or a weight for extra stability. The tripod is light, has a built in carrying handle and even comes with a carrying case. A tripod with all these features usually costs over $100. There is only one problem, its not that stable. The materials used to construct this thing are as cheap and flimsly as they could get away with. Its perfectly adequate for the very lightest of still cameras but I wouldn’t recommend it for even the lightest of video cameras. The tilt head cannot be tilted or panned smoothly for even the most elementary of moving shots. The legs only extent to about 3′ the last 1′ of height is achieved with the center post which even when locked is wobbly. Not a design flaw, the instability is due entirely to the materials used in construction. It does rate 3 stars because of it’s light weight, brilliant design and low cost but “buyer beware” this is only good for lightweight cameras. It’s not a bad alternative to a fullsize tripod if you are tring to travel light and want something more substantial than a tabletop unit.

You get what you pay for
You are paying $20 for this tripod for a good reason; it is a $20 tripod. For the price, it is a good value.
