Cheap and Weird - Camera Mounts and Stabilizers

It's okay for the price, but there are a few things to be aware of. First, it's pretty low quality. Over-tightening the locking knobs can scratch the "carbon fiber" which I think is just coated plastic. I've even heard it creak and crackle when it does this or just moves. He doesn't have good instructions. It's pretty put together, but there are a few things that don't make sense. Some accessories had no obvious way to install or use them. Even if you follow the instructions. It comes with an extra bracket for a larger mounting angle. The extra bracket is just an L bracket and the only way to attach it to what is given doesn't help much. This allows you to get closer to the ground a few inches below the regular mount, or turn the camera left or right by simply mounting the camera sideways on the regular mount. It also doesn't have a mounting method that I would trust to attach my camera.
