how sturdy are the bottom legs? As in, do they bend easy? I had this issue with a tripod I bought recently, and am now leery.

Well, they are little stick birdy legs. I imagine with enough pressure they would bend, but I've never had a problem with indoor use. For the money, I think it's decently made.

i actually have to use two tripods.... one on each end (luckily i already have two) because if i use it in the middle...the balance can't hold the weight of my canon t2i

This tripod is extremely sturdy. To be honest I have not seen a camera it can not handle. Not sure the exact weight but I am sure it will handle any type of camera.

It is strong enough... But the leg locks can easily become un locked.. And then collapse also it is a short tripod, spend a little more and get a better one.

I would recommend it for sure because the tripod is hard to get level and the ball head has a level on it. You will have less frustration adjusting the ball head than trying to get the flexible legs adjusted.

Yep, no issues there! It is very sturdy. I've been using it with a d3300 and some heavy lenses, and would trust it with quite a bit more weight.

I bought this one because my first tripod was too flimsy. It's worked out well for me. I always use a remote shutter release so I don't have experience with it's stability while manually shooting. I've also never used a tablet on it.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

Nop... legs are flexible, but you can't make the tripod taller than it is...

I use mine for outdoor events as a sale rack. I wrap one of my canopy weight bags around the pole above the tripod and I have not had problems with it tipping over since then. For extra insurance I can also wrap it around the canopy leg!

Yes. These are some great tripod legs, too! It even has a tripod tray as pictured in the product image.

NO! Definitely not sturdy enough for that. Great for a tripod but not for action shots.

The legs are much stiffer than I thought, larger too. You are probably safe up to 5lbs, maybe even more. The tripod dwarfed my point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix. Warning: the more you use it, the more flexible and less sturdy the ball-and-socket joints get.

I own two of these, and there is a hook on one of the legs. I noticed it yesterday when I took the tripod out to film.

The tripod legs keep this stand very stable. I don't think it would tip over unless someone bumped into it.

I just got mine out and set up the whole frame and had no problem with the tripod legs staying in place once I spread them out as far as they go and tightened the screw. Perhaps you got bad screws or the wrong screws on yours and you need to call the company.

they probably will bend too, I do recommend the stands but for light (not heavy) stuff. you're probably need a C-stand... i know the price is much higher but keep in mind safety... hope it helped...
