    This is a fullsize portabletosemiportable photography tripod and not a tripod which will go in your small daypack


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This tripod if ordered as legsonly requires a separate camera mount to be attached to hold your camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This tripod is stiff safe and secure feeling compared with tripods which cost less and those which cost more when used within its manufacturer weight limits and with a camera mount of matching capacity


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A word to beginners please make sure you arent trying to thread on the wrong size head or camera as that can damage tripod threads andor camera threads


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This thing is heavier than most tripods which is good for stability bad for carrying it around


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It does not flex and cause your camera to shake nearly as much as cheap tripods when you rest your hand on it to make adjustments or press the shutter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Despite what other reviewers say let me assure you that yes indeed there are two separate bubble levels underneath the head of the tripod that you can use to exactly level your camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    First couple of times i was nervous and carefully let go of the camera
