I bought this review based on some of the other reviews. It came, nicely in the box, but with absolutely no instructions. We did figure it out after awhile.
I have a Nikon P90 and my husband has a Nikon D5000, both expensive and his hefty cameras. This tripod is not stable at all and at one point in time, the camera actually fell off the tripod.
It is difficult to make the camera become parallel to what you are shooting.
If I could give this tripod away, I would.

I like the product but was disappointed that it did not include instructions, but otherwise I was pleased with the quick shipping and the great communication between the seller & his desire to make sure I was satisfied. I would buy from this seller again. Thank you.

I was looking for a tripod that would allow me to tilt and pan smoothly for a reasonable price.
The tripod is both, light-weight and sturdy, thanks to its wide footprint.
It does not come with instructions, but it is easy to figure out how to set it up and how to control the pan and tilt smoothness. The handle is in effect a screw that, by turning it, allows to control the tightness of the tilt. The camera is screwed to the “quick release plate” from underneath. The quick release mechanism works very well: you just put the camera in position and it automatically latches on.
Pan and tilt are smooth, but I doubt this would work well with a heavy camera. My camera weighs about 20oz (or 500g), and it works perfectly for me.
I am giving it five stars because I got the product that I expected based on descriptions and reviews here on Amazon.

This tripod is more than I expected. I bought it for a fall color trip to New England (Vt, NH, Maine) and on my hikes to remote places I was grateful for it’s light weight. It is easy to level and inspite of its light weight is quite sturdy. As an amateur photographer I met every need that I had.

I was looking or a tripod that would be solid and work well, with a good price to boot. Based on the above reviews, I figured it would be fine.
I guess I might be a bit more “hardcore” of a photographer than the average user. I’m using a Canon 500D/T1i, that might be a bit heavier than smaller cameras others are using.
On to the good. It comes with a convenient bag with a shoulder strap. It’s light. The feet swivel well. It has a handle right below the head.
On to the bad. It’s much too flimsy for any serious photography. If you’re trying to shoot something very precisely, there is no hope with this tripod. I ended up cranking everything as tight as possible, and I still had to force it against it’s settings to stay exactly where I wanted it. It doesn’t hold the camera up if you have a bigger lens on it, so it slowly droops. One time a mystery screw fell out from the head in the bag. I couldn’t figure out why nothing worked for like 20 minutes, until I found the screw in the bag and figured out how to put it back in.
Not recommended if you’re in any way particular about composition.
