Does The Job – Had this tripod for a few years now, and it has always done its job. Its obvious that it wouldn't take the weight of some of the DSLR cameras on the market, and lets face facts now - if you can afford a DSLR why are you only paying $50 for a tripod! Match your camera.

Legs good lock plate very bad – Legs stable & easy to adjust. Had camera drop out twice now from locking plate grrrrrr screw does not lock in tight & you think camera is locked in until you tilt ball head then ......

The lock's plate is rubbish – Tripot legs is good , but the ball head lock can't hold heavy camera +70-200 , It nearly drop my gear .Then I just saw off it ball head and replace it with Manfrooto ball head (by using it srew at botom end) , it save money to buy another tripod.

No good for time exposure shoots – Got this to replace my old but still working tripod but one thing I found is the ball joint design while flexiable is hard to set up and won't lock properly, meaning it's useless for long time exposure shots as the camera keeps moving, especially with my 18-270mm lens weighing it down.

Broken - straight out of the box – I purchased this tripod from JB Hi Fi on special for $64 as it was recommended by one of their staff since it was on special (usually over $70). The tripod was never used as it was broken straight out of the box, (the blue locks on the leg weren't locking so its wasn't stable.) I also didn't feel it was very sturdy. You can do better than this for the price. I will be returning it. not sturdy, was broken so never got a chance to use it
