Good value for money. Loses one star because the head movement is inferior to my other, larger, Manfrotto video head but is much cheaper. I now use this item for most things that I do, video and still.

Purchase this a few months back and thought it was reasonable after one or two uses. Unfortunately after a period of extensive use it is flimsy and the head is really not as easily operational as described. I dont recommend this. It is sold as a very versatile fluid and smooth unit. I have set my purposes of general photography and vlogging which is what they describe a lot actually what this can do maybe a specialist out there knows what this is actually perfect for certainly not broad wide use.

Great travelling companion for filming
Upgrade from cheaper tripod. Much happier that this is higher quality.
I've had so many fails with tripods that I want to show this is a positive tripod, even though I'm a little disappointed by one aspect. It is light, compact, easy to work. It is also a great price so I'm still giving it 5 stars. The aspect I am disappointed with is that the head only goes completely up and down it doesn't go side to side. That means that I cannot easily set up for a profile photo using the tripod. It also means that is I"m slightly to the left or right it's the legs I need to adjust, not the head.
lightweight, very nice clamps on it's legs and fine camera plate. Don't has any hook to add some weight. Not very sturdy knob, protrudes out: better don't drop it's head. All metal, handle and joint. But could be a little more smoothly to rotate.
Don't be put off by the 'light' moniker, this tripod is good and sturdy, whilst still being portable.The sliding quick release mount is a bit fiddly (you have to turn a screw to stop it sliding around), but manageable.
very smooth
