Not for heavy cameras

Strap was well constructed. But did not have padding. Pulled and rubbed neck. While it was sturdy it provided no comfort.

I bought three of these to use for remotely-triggered flashes and they work just fine for that application, but I would not recommend them at all if you need a sturdy and stable tripod.  These are very lightweight and flimsy and will NOT be a good choice for a camera tripod, as movement transfers in them very easily.  I simply put a sand bag on the base of each tripod when using them for my remote flashes and there is no issue and they work perfectly for this.

I cannot complain about them for the use I have, but I would not recommend them for any other use.

Only able to support a DSLR in certain positions, I am using it to hold up a baby monitory camera (much lighter).  OK for the cost.

I bought these in hope of getting mounts that would be more rigid than the standard plastic mounts. They weren't. Near impossible to tighten enough to keep the camera from moving when mounted to my mountain bike. They work fine for fixed mount where it doesn't have to move but the standard plastic mounting accessories also work fine for that.

I can't say really what this is for. I am videographer and I was looking for a cross between a monopod and a tripod. Yes they do exist but I wanted something much more study. I though this would have been it. Stationary its great but it's not a rigid as a tripod and takes up the same foot print. It's so light that it becomes top heavy and make fast moving hard to control. Unfold the feet with camera attached is hard because of the swing of the feet. Especially in crowded areas. If you are looking for something light for stationary only setup it will work great. If you need what I needed then no, in practice it will not work.

won't support the weight of larger cameras or lenses but the worst thing is, if you turn it the chicken foot loosens and can come off.

Did not support weight of my Nikon D7000 + 18-105mm VR lens (total weight less than 3 pounds).

Also, even with less weight, I don't trust that this tripod would allow for satisfactory adjustment along the vertical plane because the tightening mechanism simply does not tighten enough.  I don't think I was doing anything wrong, although I can't be sure because no instructions come in the package.  I did find a 1-page sheet on the company's website ([...]) and followed those less-than-precise instructions to no avail.

2 stars is just because maybe this would work with a significantly lighter camera (or scope). Maybe. I'd look for others' reviews on that before buying.

Returning mine.  Would love suggestions on similar mini tripods that do the trick with DSLR kits weighing in at ' 3 pounds.

This is a good ballhead, but should be limited only to point-and-shoot cameras, or attached to an external flash. I use this for those purposes, at the end of a monopod. I would never trust this ballhead on top of a tripod, holding up an expensive camera. It is well made, but the weight it can support is greatly exaggerated in the Amazon page.

I have Canon 600EX-RT, and these clamps do not hold the weight of it.  I am returning them.

Doesn't suit my needs but this could be okay for a lighter piece of equipment. I have heavy, large binoculars and this isn't sturdy enough to support them without vibration. My fault not the products as it's well made and has the right adjustments for say a camera or lighter binoculars. It arrived on time and no issues with packaging. If you need something for light duty I recommend, but if you have more demanding needs I suggest you buy something more substantial. Sometimes going cheaper just doesn't pay off!

I know the description says "light weight", however, I would not risk putting my camera on this thing.  Plastic fastening hardware makes it impossible to tighten anything without stripping out the threads.  Can't even get the seller to respond to my return requests.  Do NO

Be very aware that this is not meant for heavier backdrops unless you have sandbags or other methods of weighing down the base. I ordered this in a pinch and it definitely did the job but I will not be utilizing it full time.

Might be okay for taking a family photo, but this is a very flimsy tripod.  I would hesitate to put my expensive camera on top for anything beyond table top use.  We got it for celestron binoculars and it is useless for that purpose.  Far too unstable.

Size wise, it was perfect. However for the purpose I needed for, it wasn't suitable as it was not stable and the latch was not secure. For lighter camera (definitely not DSLR heavyweights) it'll serve its purpose.

This strap probably works well enough for smaller mirrorless cameras or a DSLR with a smaller lens mounted, but for a DSLR with larger lenses (e.g., 70-200 2.8 or 300mm) attached it is not trustworthy... First the cinch to tighten the strap on the wrist is fiddly and loosens up when using the camera; second, the strap length itself is not adjustable -- I think it's too long for use with longer lenses mounted, and third, though the page says the DLSR connector its rated to hold up to 30 pounds, the installation instructions state that it holds up to 8 pounds... which is not enough for longer telephoto lenses.  The strap simply doesn't provide enough stability or reassurance when using it with heavier lenses, so keep that in mind if you want to use this strap with a heavier setup.

My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ10; this tripod doesn't begin to support.  About only use is lying flat/wedging under the camera  to level on uneven or angled surfaces.  Even if it were more sturdy, the slick leg-bottoms preclude use on car hood etc.

if you are short and don't mind a flimsy strap....go for it

other wise  stay away  from it.  won't trust my camera with it.
