Unboxed this yesterday and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality.It's extremely compact, seems well put together and (in my living room at least) very sturdy. It actually has more features than my full size Manfrotto tripod which cost double. Once I'd unpacked it from the carrying case (which seems a bit bigger than it needs to be) I immediately set it up with my heaviest camera/lens combo to see if it could take the weight. In this case, that would be a Canon 650D and a Tamron 70-300 VC. Not the heaviest setup in the world but certainly on the weighty side. I got everything tightened up and was dismayed to see that the camera was still swivelling all over the place. However, this turned out to be user error as I'd not tightened up the lock ring that attaches the ballhead mount to the centre pole! With that sorted, I had no more problems.I've purchased this tripod for an upcoming road trip in the US and I'm confident that for £60 it'll certainly do a job.
