I honestly did not ha e high expectations for this product based in past reviews. But upon getting it it seems they have fixed the issues prior owners have had and now this works great as it stands. There are multiple adjustments, higjt and angle adjustments, the swivel ball mount is great for panning and tilt functions with ease. Set up and take down is really quick and the fact that you can invert your camera for macro photography is great, my favorite feature is the monopod. You can pull the leg and use the central mount to use as a single monopod for your camera while on the go for steady shots. I highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new tripod
