lightweight and sturdy

I got this tripod because I wanted something very lightweight. With that being said, its not meant for banging or rough usage. It won't last for that. However, if you use this for still images like the night sky or setting up in the corner to take selfies or videos, it'll be just fine. The plastic can't be over-tightened, it'll break it. But if you're not an ox and handle it with care, it'll work just fine when you want something easy to carry that will hold your camera. Just don't put really heavy lenses on it without being doubly sure that it will be in a sturdy spot.
