Reviews around value (4.75 of 5)

  • Very happy with the tripod, good value and good build for the money.
  • Where the legs attach to the body is flimsy and will move if you touch the camera, which almost negates any value of HAVING a tripod since as soon as you press the shutter button, the pod will shift.
  • Like that it's light weight don't like the way the stand/legs is made it's too weak u have to very careful when you opening the legs if you pull it out too harsh it breaks which I find is poor design and material they use to make the legs I would not recommend this to anyone don't buy it
  • Very solid and sturdy tripod....excellent value for the price (just as good quality-wise as a much more expensive tripod)
  • Really good design well thought out sturdy and good value for the price

Reviews around feature (4.09 of 5)

  • Great features, very stable and easy to carry and set up
  • It's great quality, especially for the price, and has a bunch of awesome features you don't often find on a tripod at this price point, including the telescoping top portion and the level
  • I just make home movies, so didn't need a professional model with a lots of expensive features.
  • Like that it's light weight don't like the way the stand/legs is made it's too weak u have to very careful when you opening the legs if you pull it out too harsh it breaks which I find is poor design and material they use to make the legs I would not recommend this to anyone don't buy it

Reviews around weight (3.76 of 5)

  • Light weight, arrived quickly, works well for what it is.
  • If I ever get one of those honking long lenses for my camera...this has something to hang weight from in the center of the tripod to keep it from tipping over.
  • Overall, great pricing, light weight and easy to use for the amateur photographer.
  • Bought this for my Lab Radar, good shipping nice light weight well built tripod.
  • A hook to hang a weight on for those really intense shooting conditions

Reviews around tripod break (2.33 of 5)

  • I only gave them four stars because the other tripod broke, but I'm definitely appreciative of their customer service
  • I can see where this would be an excellent choice for an outdoor photographer as you can easily set and secure this on uneven terrain
  • It is a very suitable piece of equipment for my Nikon D-3500 at an excellent price.
  • Now I am glad my old tripod broke.........
  • n’t like.

Reviews around time (2.26 of 5)

  • The first time, a screw that keeps the camera attached fell off, and the send time, a leg broke
  • I've only used this a couple times so far... and works as advertised... build quality seems mediocre, and pretty much the whole thing is plastic...
  • Admittedly, every time I used it, it seemed like something else would break or fall apart
  • I see no reason why this tripod can't last a good long time.
  • one of the locking clamps broke the first time we used it.

Reviews around latch (2.09 of 5)

  • n’t disappointed me yet
  • I can see where this would be an excellent choice for an outdoor photographer as you can easily set and secure this on uneven terrain
  • The screw holding the latch had worked itself loose and the adapter fell off the tripod when transporting the camera in a horizontal position
  • This is a bit annoying for transport, as it would be nice to just leave the base piece attached to my camera when setting up and taking down the tripod frequently while moving from place to place, but I don't want to risk the latch getting damaged in transport while it's sticking out open
  • After 4 hours of moving it around and shooting I was walking back to the studio and the latch came loose and my camera fell off the tripod, lens first on the floor
  • Read remaining 8 reviews for latch

Reviews around breeze (1.80 of 5)

  • On the top of a mountain, a breeze almost knocked over the tripod and my camera
  • I’m not trusting this thing to hold my nice camera without me being less than a foot away because a stiff breeze is likely to knock it over.
  • The slightest breeze will blow it over even on level ground.
  • This super useful, it helps you smoothly pan the camera vertically for some exquisite b-roll
  • A strong breeze would likely blow this tripod over, just use caution

Reviews around plastic (1.72 of 5)

  • Why it broke is because the leg parts are made of cheap plastic
  • For the price you can't beat it but don't expect much more than cheap plastic
  • I can see where this would be an excellent choice for an outdoor photographer as you can easily set and secure this on uneven terrain
  • One of the plastic slips that secure latches for the legs snapped meaning that the leg would extend, but would not stay in place
  • Has a nice plastic handle so you can carry with ease if you are going from location to location

Reviews around terrain (1.69 of 5)

  • n’t like.
  • I can see where this would be an excellent choice for an outdoor photographer as you can easily set and secure this on uneven terrain
  • Definitely not ideal if you have to move it around much like on rough terrain
  • The feet have ball joints which allow it to adjust to uneven terrain
  • Simply flip the clips to adjust--even on uneven terrain

Reviews around screw (1.63 of 5)

  • The first time, a screw that keeps the camera attached fell off, and the send time, a leg broke
  • The screw holding the latch had worked itself loose and the adapter fell off the tripod when transporting the camera in a horizontal position
  • Small parts to keep a screw in cracked or fell out under normal use, rendering it useless except for perhaps bashing peoples heads with
  • The only downside was getting the screw to tighten and hold it securely.
  • The screw that holds the lever at the top just got lost and the legs are too flimsy and my iPhone tips it over if I reach to turn the video on or off on the phone
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for screw

Reviews around lock (1.54 of 5)

  • The locks all seem sturdy enough for every day use and are easily to adjust
  • The level works just fine, the legs extend and lock like you'd want them to, when you lock the legs, the locks aren't too stiff or too weak
  • In addition to the plastic locking tab that broke off early on (see below), the quick release plate that attaches to the camera body cracked, and was no longer fastening securely to the camera.
  • A couple of months ago, I began to have issues with one of the legs no longer locking properly

Reviews around people (1.00 of 5)

  • Great to weigh down the stand in a brisk wind or to keep it from toppling from simple bumps by careless people
  • I think people are twisting the camera instead of the screw
  • Now something I am surprised at is how many people I saw damage their product with the screw for the camera
  • With the adjustable legs you can use it anywhere and with the crankable height adjustment its perfect to get the shots over peoples heads or obstructions.
