Sorry, but I do not like that tripod. I felt like I was trusting my expensive DSLR and lens with a $50 piece of bendable plastic. I think is could work with a point and shoot and in some situatons as posters suggested. I used mine in DC and it was a challenge. I was better off lugging a light tripod IMO. I would spend another $50 and buy a light, compact tripod.
