...metal & plastic, but this doesn't mean is sturdy. ...on mine the screw on the Quick Release Plate became lose after 2-3 times using it with a regular DSLR and not the heaviest lens at all... The seller NEVER REPLIED to my questions!I won't buy it again!LM

Everything but the legs seems to be made of some sort of plastic. The tripod is quiet sturdy nonetheless.

There are some plastic components but mostly metal. It seems well built and sturdy, much better than I expected for the price.

All metal. Very durable. I use mine on every shoot either with my led light or external monitor.

Well the interior of the canister is metal, but the rest of the parts are plastic

The gray part on the opposite side of the position locks is plastic but it seems to be just there to hold the leg release button in place. The leg screw locks are metal as are all of the important load-bearing parts. The ball itself seems to be plastic, but that's kind of understandable given how these things work. The ball socket is metal, but I can't be certain about the ball safety lock; it's covered with rubber and I can't see what's under it. What I can tell you is that this tripod is very sturdy and well built. I've had a camera and lens with a combined weight of at least four pounds mounted on it and it locks down well and stays in place.

Mostly plastic, part metal. However, I literally had to pick up the thing and inspect it for the answer -- it doesn't look like cheap plastic, and the base is heavy to keep it steady.

It's plastic and kind of cheap. I bought a couple metal ones at my local bike shop instead

There are a couple of plastic parts- the water level window and the filter apparatus. The interior is mostly metal.

The part that wraps around the metal ball head is plastic. It it were made out of metal, it would be too heavy for my monopod.

It is mostly plastic. I wasn't very impressed. The only metal part was the dump bed. My grandson still loves it though and I guess that is all that matters.

Only plastic items are the seat & the seat back. All support braces , legs / feet and piston assembly are metal. Somewhat strong as well.

Every major part of this tripod is made of plastic. I was looking for a 72-inch tripod that I could carry around to conventions and other remote events I shot that was lighter than the metal Manfoto tripods that I have. Given its low price, I was actually surprised at how well this one works. It is sturdy and I've been careful not to bang it around or work the crank too hard. Overall, you can't beat it for the cheap price.

It's all metal except for 1 part, but it is for accessories only. It will not support the weight of an SLR reliably. I use it strictly for mounting a microphone.

Comes with everything in the picture. The head, legs, nylon bag. Not a top end tripod, but handles heavy weight and when brand name hidden, no one knows its a cheap tripod. Definitely worth it. Im looking at getting a second one.

This product is all metal. No plastic parts whatsoever. In fact, I recall the packaging was all paper product.
