Worst tripod I've ever used

This is without a doubt the worst tripod I've ever used. Full disclosure, I work with video and I know it's a photo tripod, so I knew from the start I couldn't use it for panning or anything out of the ordinary (laughs), but I figured it would at least be yours can support the A7sII with a Sony 24-70 for two weeks of filming on the go. And besides, it wasn't even for a concert, just a random shoot on the street. For example, take a picture of my cute campsite shoot, nothing special. Not only could it not hold my camera without a bit of crawling, but the grips broke, couldn't hold still and I lost one of the pieces of plastic on my leg. Tripod legs (this leg then got stuck in the telescopic mechanism all the time). At one point I tried using my 70-200 and it just went down completely. Again, I know this tripod isn't rated for that kind of weight, but I figured it might at least work. I think I got three good shots with this tripod in the first two days before it failed. The bad thing is I used (and still use) the meFOTO stuff and that's usually what you pay for so I hope it's an accident. Maybe it would cost a $30 tripod, but for $150 it's outright stealing. Don't buy this.
