Loose Lock - Full Tripods

This tripod has worked very well for me for a while but after a few months of owning it I've started to have minor issues. Sometimes when I lock my legs in the extended position, one of them slips back even when locked. This caused the tripod (and my camera) to fall (luckily onto my bed). Since then I haven't dropped it, but sometimes it starts to slip and I have to correct it. Overall it stays stable most of the time so I don't feel the need to replace it or buy a new one. I just won't trust this tripod without someone behind the camera making sure it doesn't fall off. When the legs are fully retracted it works great and to be honest the legs are usually long enough that I can use them with little to no extension. I hope this is a problem only I have, maybe I'm unlucky.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Comparable to my Manfrotto but weighs less

Impressed and I've used tripods from monster professionals to lightweight portables
