Lightweight, sturdy, and compact. Great value for the price. Travel ready!

I have several tripods ranging from heavy duty Manfrottos to compact no-name ones; but nothing I own was convenient for traveling and hiking. I decided to order a few tripods claiming to be lightweight and sturdy, but after going through about 10 of them, this is the only one I found that lived up to the claim (within a $100 budget). It is really light and based on how it folds up, it fits perfectly in the tripod holders on all of my camera and hiking bags. My typical load out is a Canon 1Dx with a 35-250mm L series lens. Total weight is around 8 lbs and I have not had any problems with the head. It has held the camera firmly in place, especially if I mount it at the lens. Now, the legs are thin when fully extended so you have to make sure you have tightened all the sections well and you are firmly planted. And because they are thin, they are likely more susceptible to shake or vibration so this may not be the best solution if you shoot in low light. It is much sturdier at mid height though. All-in-all, this is a great tripod and I recommend it.

I bought the shorter 5C, rather than the 7C. This tripod is fantastic value for money, and so lightweight and small that it folds up to around the size of a water bottle. However, I dislike that you cannot lock the ball head, but it does take some force to adjust once you do tighten it so it's not really an issue. The little hook at the bottom is a fantastic addition, but the biggest problem by far is the center column. My main complaint is that the center column is too flexible, especially for long exposures. If you bend it slightly, it will bounce back and vibrate like a stick of bamboo. This is very noticeable with passing trains, wind, or even when pressing the shutter button. I assume the taller 7C would be better, as you would no longer have to use this center column.

It is quite good, quality is also great, i've had it for a couple of years now and it remains just the same. Only reason I don't use it that much is because I am quite talk (6'3 feet) and this won't allow me to fully do my own content when out there and least not from the angle I wanted to.

Great tripod! The price is very cheap next to the quality you get. Although it doesn't necessarily feel like carbon fiber, it is very light and yet strong. At even surfaces it stays up perfectly, but in some situations where the ground isn't even it becomes easier to tip over. It folds down very small, and is easy to open back up. I can look through the camera when standing up without crouching when it is at its max height. Overall, this is an amazing tripod, even if it isn't a known brand.

Great little tripod. Been taking this on my international travel - packs well and is VERY light. Use it for my DSLR with medium size zoom.

The title says it all, at first I absolutely loved the tripod. I had some issues that I was willing to put up with for the price - the screw which retained the head to the legs came loose constantly. That would have been a deal breaker for me had the tripod not presented other undesirable quick-disconnect functionality. I was using this with a Pentax K-1 and a peak design quick-disconnect plate which is Arca-Swiss compatible, and had my camera in multiple upwards/odd orientations without issue, very much tightened down as far as I could manage. I even moved it around on the tripod several times where it had the opportunity to come loose. It was only when I went to pickup the tripod to move it the 3rd or so time that my camera suddenly slid out of the clamp and launched itself a good 8 feet across the pavement. I can only presume that the geometry does not quite line up between the peak design plates and this tripod. With this in mind, and the other issue I encountered with it (the constantly loosening head) I would suggest you consider another tripod - and that you only use the mounting plate that comes with the tripod.

The tripod legs are great. The quality is excellent, it is very well built and I feel like it will last me for a while. It is also very compact and light. The reason why it is not 5 stars is because the ball head is pretty garbage. My FujiFilm x-t2 with the 10-24mm is not secure if the camera is angled anywhere but straight ahead. The camera moves the ball head pretty easily even when I tighten the adjustment knob as hard as I can. I decided to just use my old ball head from my other tripod. If I didn’t have another ball head I would have just returned it. The ball head might work better with smaller cameras like a GoPro or something.
