I like this tripod. It’s really adjustable and goes quite high. It also is pretty sturdy and has everything you’d need for a basic tripod. The motion on the pan and tilt isn’t completely smooth, so depends on your needs.

I have used other more expensive and more metal component (heavier) tripods similar to this one. I had gotten out of my hobby for awhile and have just gotten back into it, so I thought I would try this tripod.
First off, for those that have never used a panhead on a tripod, the knobs and levers do certain things.
I have seen reviews where people have complained that the “elastic knob” doesn’t hold the camera up, it will droop. It’s not supposed to. That’s not the “tightening screw/lever” for up and down, it’s for panning side to side. You will want to pan at different tensions to control the speed of panning without jerkiness, hence the “elastic knob”. Also, you might want to set the tripod legs at a certain position that may not be a good direction for the lens. This is where you can loosen the elastic knob, turn the panhead side to side to aim your camera where you want to, then tighten it down to hold it from moving side to side. The legs stay where they were, on uneven ground where you might have uneven leg extensions so that the tripod is level for panning this is very helpful to not have to move the whole tripod itself and just move the panhead on top.
The long thin handle that comes uninstalled screws into the panhead and is what controls the up and down of the camera/lens, that will tighten more than enough to hold any dSLR and lens combo without drooping. The handle is long and thin so you have something to grab and position the up/down of the camera/lens and then just twist to tighten to hold your position. Very useful design.
I advise people that have never used a panhead on a tripod to do a quick google search to know exactly how they work, I’m sure you will be pleased with this tripod after having learned how to use it properly.
The tripod itself. Lightweight, good. Height, good. Sturdiness, ok. But, it does have a hook under the panhead that you can hang your camera bag or anything else on, and that WILL add a bunch of stability to it. So, definitely not a drawback.
Maybe a bit too much plastic (lightweight), so be careful over tightening things, not necessary to do that, either. Also, I wouldn’t advise being too rough with it. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good tripod, I think it is. But, it is a lightweight one with a bit more plastic than a high end professional one would have, and it is at a very attractive price point. So be aware that plastic breaks easier than metal (duh, right?).
The quick release plates are a nice add-on, I have used them before. They make it easy to remove the camera for various reasons while using the tripod, but I don’t leave them on the camera when I am not using the tripod, I take them off. You’ll understand why after using it a few times.
All in all, after having used high end tripods with panheads in the past and this one now, I think it is a very good tripod at this price point, hard to beat. I do like the compact and lightweight aspect of it. I have only just received it, so if anything changes with repeated use I will update this review.
EDIT: I should mention, as to the stability, I never extend the smallest, bottom legs on any tripod, regardless of how heavy duty it is unless I have to, which I almost never need to do. I’ll extend the post the panhead sits on before I extend those bottom legs.
The reason for this becomes obvious once you put regular use on a tripod with any height to it. It is the biggest contributor to instability on any tripod, keep ’em closed up unless you absolutely need to use them, then just be aware of how much more unstable those legs are going to make the tripod, any tripod.

Unit is very sturdy and easy to set up and level. I love that the storage carry bag is big enough, but not too big, so you don’t have to fight with it to get the tripod back in it. Still trying to figure best way to secure camera to the unit. I know, it’s with the screw mount supplied, however so far I’ve found the mount loosing up to my camera, I think it may be due to me trying to move the camera without loosening the adjustment controls. The control knobs and joints are a bit tight, then become very loose, not very linear, hopefully it will get better with time. I’ve only used it 4 times so far, and it’s been a bit awkward, but most of that can be put on operator learning curve. It’s just been a long time since I’ve used a tripod. Overall a very good, well put together tripod.

Heavy duty, sturdy with multiple adjustments and configurations. Like so many other products , the user manual sucks big time and the assembly instructions have a few gaps that you have to figure out, but these are minor issues. Would highly recommend this product for every day use

After several questions for similar products (thank you Amazon shoppers!) I bought this tripod for telescope use primarily. Most important parts are made of plastic, but they all work! I was worried about smooth panning and tilting, but this head performs very good. Maybe because my Orion telescope weighs around 8 lbs (with gadgets attached), which is right in the middle of tripod’s weight capacity. Fluid motion is a critical feature and I was very pleased that a plastic knob on the side is actually an adjustment knob for regulating the tension, not a locking knob! Of course, you can lock it tight with screwing it all the way and it will hold the position. Tilting motion is even better, very fluid and strong enough to hold the telescope in upright position. The best feature: pan head is attached to the centre column via standard 3/8″ screw (see advertised picture), which means I can replace pan head when this one dies out, without buying another tripod!

Considering this is a more “affordable” tripod, it has help up really well. I bought it for my Nikon Z30 for vlogging and photos, and I wanted something that would extend higher than 6’… this tripod has been perfect. If you extend EVERYTHING all the way up, yes it is not going to feel quite as stable, so I only do that indoors. But it stands secure, I love the handle on the side, and it comes with two docking feet which is nice.
I’ve only had it a week and just used it a few times, so I’ll keep this updated if anything changes.

Got this for my laser level. It said it lifts up to 72″, it’s better than that. The build is good except the nut is plastic. The nut can be better but the rest is good. Once set up it stands very good and is solid I will buy more for all my other needs.

Works good. Fast to set up. With it came with spare quick camera mounts. Not metal but pretty tough.
