So I decided I wanted a tripod, but I wasn't willing to spend more than about $20. This looked good, so I bought it. When I took it out to shoot the first time it was okay. Then I decided I wanted to get a bit experimental with some HDR shots. This is such an unstable tripod that you cannot repeat the same exposure twice with it. The thing feels as though it blows around with the wind. If all you care about is a bit of stability for longer shots then this would probably be okay. If you care about anything else I would shy away from this and get something a bit sturdier. If you want one in the next day or two look at the dumpster next to my apartment. It'll be in there.
