1out of 5

Pros: Unfolds Quickly

Cons: Weak Construction, Heavy, Unstable

Best Uses: Home

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

Was this a gift?: No

Saw some decent reviews on this thats why I bought it, but after about 6 months everything started falling apart. The fasteners where each joint is are very very poorly constructed. On a real estate shoot with my clients one of the joints fell apart and nearly toppled over the tripod and camera on it! I would have cried if it did happen.

Sooner after even with minimal weight on one of the legs it would slowly retract back into itself.

Dont buy it!
