I love this tripod, it's a great alternative to more expensive options. I do wish it had a bit more weight to it as sometimes it feels a little too light almost. It has a bag hook under it which is a nice way to get it on the ground though. The other issue I have with it is the tension in the legs. I almost want them to be a bit tighter and provide a bit more resistance. When setting it down, sometimes you have to pick it up and put it back down a few times in order to make sure the legs go where you want them. The slight pressure of setting it down is enough to start folding the legs in. That is such a minor issue though that I don't even consider it an issue. It's a great tripod to travel with and once set down is sturdy. It does feel a bit cheap in terms of the construction, like how other very budget tripods feel, but it's SmallRig so I trust it more than another budget tripod for sure. SmallRig is a name that I trust with my camera gear.Quick update:I originally didn't think the legs could be tightened but they can. Using the smaller threads on the screw on the top, you can thread that into the sides of the leg locking screws. Once threaded in, you can use the plate the tripod comes with to hold the nut in place. Then tighten with the provided allen key on the left side. Not sure why it's not just another bolt head on the opposite side or any other easier way to tighten it. Just means I have to toss that plate and wrench in my bag in case the legs loosen back up.

the build is nice and durable, it's very stable, and sets up easily. definitely best tripod I've had that cost this little

this is a major upgrade over my previous tripod by 10 fold! It's easy to use and has great weight and build quality. I love the multitude of leg heights and stances and long telescoping center pole for the right angle. only downside would be the location of the level even though its true center placement seems ideal until practice; I'd have to remove the " quick" release to be able to view and that if I'm lucky if my rig would stand up. I ordered a cage release that's easier in use but still don't fix the level issue. Alongside that I didnt notice too a week or two later I was missing one of the feet or could've missed in if packaged separately in the box. either way im still keeping this as I said its one of the best tripods ive ever owned, yes there are nicer ones out there but none with this cohesive line of products. I love my small rig products and strive to keep them in my recommendations and future purchases!

Great product I take it anywhere and everywhere when I travel

This is one sturdy tripod and i've been using it every single day for the past 4.5 years and it's still like new. Very happy with it.

I wanted a tripod that is lightweight but sturdy, and that has flip-locks for fast adjustments. This tripod checked those boxes at an affordable price. I paired it with a SmallRig fluid video head to mount my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 cameras for corporate video shoots. Typical of SmallRig products, the tripod is well made. When extended, the aluminum legs are sturdy, and the flip-locks allow for quick but firm adjustments. There are 1/4" threaded holes in the legs so you can attach accessories such as a cell phone holder. For easy transport the tripod collapses into a very small footprint. The included carrying case actually allows me to fit both the tripod and a SmallRig fluid video head into the bag. This tripod is a great choice for anyone with light cameras, especially when combined with a SmallRig fluid vide head.

Small, lightweight. Your looking for portability when pick this type of reverse tripod.Know what your buying cheap but trusty do the job but can’t overweight with a heavy camera, need to add counter weight with water bottles because is very lite, hard wind on outdoors can end in a accident.You have to manage your equipment, with the right use this tripod is a powerful tool.Overall easy to travel, now days always use two cameras with tripods, without worrying for my luggage.

Got this to replace a similar style tripod. I was surprised at how thin the tubes for the legs are, and how light it is. Thankfully there is a hook for adding weight as needed. As much as this isn't robust and won't replace my other tripod, I will keep it because it's actually very nice for simple and quick tripod shooting, such as if you were walking around the city and needed something that folds up small, and sets up fast.
