It folds into a nice small package and is easy to collapse and unpack.
The materials feel solid and the spread is wide creating a stable base.
It can easily hold a regular sized video camera or even a large one with a lens.
This has a nice look and a high quality finish that make the tripod seem more expensive than it actually is. Also, as others have mentioned, the panning is smooth and fine for shooting some quality video.
I recommend this item. -

I acquired this piece of equipment to film family vacations in some pretty spectacular places. My last trip was to the smokey mountains in Tennessee and it was the first place I had a chance to test this out.
First I would like to point out that this is no manfrotto and if you are looking for the best tripod money can buy than you need to spend some more cash.
The downsides I noticed with this cheaper tripod did not bother me for my uses but I will list them. The tripod is light and should not be used so support one of those giant rigs. For a DSLR with a lens you will be fine. The tripod is weighted for 15 pounds but I think that is a bit of an overestimate. I wouldn't put on much more than ten. I also noticed that the first twenty to thirty times I panned I was pushing too hard. It was very firm and it made it difficult to stop from jerking. That being said after the gel warmed up it was as smooth as butter and tilting and panning was fantastic with no jerks and only smooth video. The build quality is also not so great. It's made of a cheap feeling aluminum with a plastic head that while light does not feel as strong as I would like.
Now that the cons are out of the way, allow me to explain why I am satisfied with my purchase. The mid spreader is a great addition to this tripod because it allows for setting up in confined environments. If I found myself in a crowded sideline of a football game or the edge of a smokey mountain cliff, I still had the room needed to manaeuver. The legs also lock pretty tight, something I noticed was a problem with the less pricey tripods. Most importantly as I mentioned before, the tilting and panning was liquid smooth and made for great shots. Finally the body is light and is easy to carry around with you.
At this price, I am giving four stars. This is a good tripod that while not perfect is better than its price suggests.

The aluminum materials feel solid and easily support my DSLR. I mostly use this to film sports events and so panning is very important to me. For this reason I thought about spending more on a better fluid head but as it turns out I am glad I didn't The one thing I noticed is that the gel makes a bit of a sound when you move it around. This might get on your nerves a bit but isn't terrible.

It is pretty inexpensive but it acts like a quality product and it feels high end. This is undoubtedly one of the best tripods available today.
