This is a basic, but very capable tripod from a well-known manufacturer at a very reasonable price-point of $45 at the time of receipt. It comes with a couple of nice add-ons, which for the beginner are nice inclusions, like the remote trigger and phone mount. As far as tripods go, I've had my fair share of basic, inexpensive tripods over the years- but as my collection of cameras and lenses has grown (along with their price points), I've also invested in better tripods. This is a good value- but I won't be putting my expensive Sony A7RIII on this. But if you have an entry level DSLR or mirrorless- even a point and shoot, this is a very capable tripod.
I am not a huge fan of the ball head provided with this unit. The knobs/adjustments are made of plastic, and I do not put much faith in being able to tighten these down enough for my comfort level. This is especially true for the knob used to tighten the plate. The mechanism used to secure the camera/plate to the ball head is- in my opinion- the best mechanism- but for lighter camera bodies and lenses it will certainly suffice. The fact it comes with a ball head at all is a bonus.
It can be extended to heights over 6' which is great for taller shooters.
Overall, I like this tripod for beginners- as it is much better than many other brands out there that are available at big-box stores. At this price point, it is an excellent buy.
