This tripod has unique design that allows it to fold together to be a little smaller in width than many tripods. As the price suggests it is more of an entry level tripod yet it has many of the features of the more expensive one. In terms of quality it does feel a little plasticky. It uses metal where it is important, in the legs. The legs are locked into place with flip locks. The flip locks have no adjustment screws.

Some assembly is required but that is easy to do without reading the instructions. It has a bubble for leveling the tripod plus pan and tilt functions. The panning is smooth, not stiff/jerky or loose. The thumb screws to lock down the panning, tilting and rotating are easy to use but don’t provide a totally secure lock. They should be good enough for most users but I would not use one of those really big lenses. Again, this is for lighter use.

It comes with a carrying bag and a remote. The instructions say nothing about the remote but it appears that once you turn it on it starts a Bluetooth search. I have not tried it since my cameras are already paired with a different remote.

If you are looking for a travel tripod that’s a little less or if you are looking for your first one and on a budget this one is a good choice.
