I bought this based on other’s reviews its features list and the reviews on several sites. I also had a nearly expired gift certificate balance to use up. If I’d paid cash for it I may have returned it. That being said for under $13 it’s a serviceable tripod. The legs at full extension feel very flimsy and in even mild wind generate shake. There’s no hook (though some site’s descriptions claimed there was one) to add weight to counteract this but one could easily be devised. The ‘fluid’ pan head is anything but, at least in the vertical, there’s spots where it ‘grabs’ and/or sticks. Horizontal panning is acceptable. The bubble level (not mentioned in the Amazon features list) is hard to view and use. The quick release head offers no knurling for finger tightening and is recessed in the shoe requiring a screwdriver or coin to tighten though it does attach securely to the camera and tripod. Overall I’m disappointed in the quality but for what I ended up paying for it I can’t complain too loudly.

This is a very nice tripod for $15 plus shipping and handling.
I was very pleasantly surprised.
Screwed into both my digital camera and my camcorder.
It folds up to a nice size and is very lightweight, but sturdy even when fully extended.

After purchasing based on the previous reviews, I was a bit underwhelmed after recieving this tripod, but what else can you get for $13.
If you plan on using this for video or time-lapse work, I would recommend finding a thicker, sturdier model. I have a very small DV camcorder (Canon Elura 100) and am unable to pan or tilt without jerking the picture. Also, if you raise the telescopic part more than a few inches, it becomes very shaky.
All of the knobs and locking parts are totally plastic, so it wouldn’t be good for use in the cold or for rough use.
