I purchased this tri pod for my binoculars on western hunts and I have put it through absolute hell and the thing has held up and still going strong. The smoothness of the ball head makes it easy to pick off creatures in all terrain. The legs are a bit noisy if excessive dirt gets in them but what tripod isn't. It is a bit heavy but the rock steady feeling this tripod gives you makes you forget about how much it weighs. It folds up super easy and stores well in my pack making it easy to pack around. All in all functionality to price is excellent and I would recommend to anyone for their next hunt.

Great tripod super durable. Good for content creators and professional photography. I love how you can setup to get top down shot for product reviews. The ball head is useful.

This is my go to tripod. I use it for all sporting events and party events. Almost 5 years and not one complaint. I did lose the piece to change it into a monopod, and that was the best part but that was on me. A bunch of abuse and no damage - great tripod.

first impressions.I will update my review when I have had more time spent with it.First impressions on this tripod is good for me. It’s lighter than what it looks. It comes with a carrying soft pouch / case. The design of the tripod is something I haven’t seen before. It’s something I am getting used to but it’s a good welcome.-As you can see in the pictures how the tripod folds out. Because of this design, it does have its perks for being shorter than most I’ve used. The material of the tripod I think is a mixture of plastic and aluminum. But it is sturdy and durable from what I’ve tested just for the short time I’ve had time with it. It can hold my Canon 77D with my Sigma 17-50, those two combined are pretty heavy. The tripod itself can extend pretty tall as the description says. I haven’t had a tripod that can go this tall. I’m definitely loving that about it. I make YouTube videos and this is a nice addition. My other tripods I’ve had over the years were always so short.-The tripod has a ball type of head. The nobs on it turn and lose very smoothly and when loosened the tripod head maneuvers very well. No jerks or shakes. It’s super fluid. Most tripods aren’t, you’d usually need to buy a fluid head for that but this is smooth like fluid heads. It could pass for video making. I like that.-It also has a latch that comes in handy, i tested its durability by shaking it around with my camera on there and it seemed to hold up. I honestly was a little skeptical about it actually holding up, I’d thought for sure my camera would come off or the latch itself but I shook it around pretty well.-One thing I don’t like about this tripod that might be a deal breaker for some is the release plate is a screw rather than a quick release. It might need be a deal breaker for you but if you are a run and go type of photographer, it can slow you down. I am just okay with it, I am definitely in between about it. But if you look at the features this tripod has. It might weigh it out for you.Like I said, I haven’t spent time in the ‘field’ with it. These are my first impressions. So far so good.

I should have known better, but went with it anyway. First of all, it's a travel, fairly lightweight tripod. It DOES work well for your camera being mounted in landscape position, or if you were going to throw your cell phone on the included mount. This ball head does NOT hold a camera and heavier lens, 105mm macro, in the portrait position, w/o out it drifting. I have other heavier lenses planned, so this will be a back up tripod, or for use out in the gardens, and have ordered a full size heavier tripod. I doubt this will hold 40-something pounds of camera gear, and the legs are just too narrow to provide solid imaging for night photography. It looks great, folds up compactly, and will be great for smaller uses.

Easy to set up; easy to work with; tall; monopod capable...perfect versatility. Have used it for 5 years without issue.

I bought this tripod on November 19, 2019. I am always hesitant buying brands I never heard of but the price and the other reviews convinced me to give this one a try. I saw a lot of videos on instragram of photographers posting different locations and various style shoots and how they used this tripod. The one photo I saw was the maximum height which to me was awesome since im 6ft tall. I am planning to shoot over a bridge overpass to get light streaks and usually overpasses fences, walls are usually high. I see no problem getting the shot I want. The other factor was the weight. I carry a lot of lenses with me at all times because I shoot different subjects and having a light tripod was a must. im not talking tiny litle tripod. I wanted a full length light tripod that wouldn't cause me back pain. I would normally use a zomei aluminum tripod and it was too much weight. I bought this tripod and gave away the zomei tripod. In summary, this tripod is affordable, light and sturdy enough for everyday use. I sometimes post videos with this tripod on my instagram account: musicman33us.

The media could not be loaded. Glad it came in on time and everything like the picture. Setting it up took me a min but once I put it together it held my camera. Definitely makes sure you secure the camera to the lock thing and tighten. It may just be me but it does look one sided but once I fitted it to my adjustment it seem to correct itself I guess. I’ll see how this do me for self shooting etc but so far I’m pleased.
