Review on Lightweight Aluminum Travel Tripod For DSLR SLR Cameras And DVs Up To 75 Inches With Carry Bag - Compatible With Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus And More. by Mike Barnes

For the people who are saying their $100-200 tripods are no better, what? This thing is nearly all plastic and shudders in the wind. The 80% aluminum claim may be true (for the legs), however all the important parts that hold the tripod together are just plastic and feel flimsy.I originally got this for my mom as her first tripod for her phone however I think it's not even up for that. Honestly, I'd just spend the extra $20-40 bucks and get something that'll last longer than a few months.That's what I should've done from the start, and probably what you should do too. Even if you can't afford anything more expensive right now; save up! Or look for another brand that's cheaper, because I promise you, it won't be worse than this.
