St -111 Photo Video Tripod/Monopod with Ball Head.

Need a tripod with a ball head? One that’s easy to travel with? This isn’t the best bang for the buck tripod I’ve ever owned. I just wish it came with two or three mounts so I can keep one on each of my bodies!!!

absolute junk. don't waste your time.the locking collars are fragile, the legs are plastic with an aluminum veneer,the legs would bind when extending and collapsing, the spider looks like it's cast out of pot metal, anything threaded sticks, the center column isn't straight and the whole unit is incapable of maintaining level. even the ball head was mediocre at best and that's the only part i'd trust on it. the whole contraption was so flimsy i wouldn't dare place my camera on it; i packed it all back up and sent it back.this is one of those products where you get exactly what you paid for and will feel like an idiot for having bothered.

For the price, this tripod has blown my mind! It is very light, easy to manipulate, and is very versatile. I have 0 regrets buying this tripod. I was looking into a $200 Manfrotto, and although that is still on my radar, this guy has given me less of a sense of urgency in upgrading. I am very satisfied with this!

I so wanted to keep this tripod. Let me tell you - this is a nice tripod, especially for the price. The weight is fantastic - comes in a pound lighter than the competition, the legs are screw adjust rather than the flap locks - you can use one hand to tighten all three levels at one time when putting back in the contracted position. The bag was high quality and the pan head seemed to rotate well. Monopod too a minute to figure out, but yes, sturdy enough to use as a walking stick/snake pusher on a hike. Note it does make use of one of the legs - it's not fully removed out of the center like other models. Because the legs don't have the triangular stabilization bars it has more flexibility to get in cramped corners/odd spaces. Came with an additional bag for weighting. And of course the center pole can be reversed for hanging the camera down low. The tripod trim is gold, and the bag reflective trim (I assume) is more of an orange but that was not problematic for me. Looked and felt professional. There's a bubble level and the whole thing just felt sturdy and a good value for this price point. So why did I return it? Sigh - I needed 180 degree panning and you might get 90 with this before you get a wobble - it's not a defect, just how this tripod is designed where the panning actually is a function of unscrewing the ball head. Sadly I had to go with one I didn't like so much and is heavier :-( If I hadn't needed that one function...

Very good I Just got it but I’m impressed with the quality of the product thank you guysAnd very fast to arrive

Ball head doesn't lock in place. Also legs are very difficult to close. It looks like a good tripod. But looks are deceiving

The twist locks are plastic, the monopod leg keeps unscrewing itself, and at full length you'll notice the tripod isn't standing straight up.But why 5 stars? Because you literally won't be able to find anything better on Amazon when it comes to versatility and portability. At this price level, this tripod has no real competitor.I used it with a Sony a7Riii with the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM.

I love this tripod. For the money you can not get anything better. I bought this for an Olympus om-d and a Nikon D3200. However I wouldn't use it fully extended on a full frame with a 70-200 on it. I recommended.
