Henry, Cambridge

+ A useful and sturdy little tripod

- A bit 'chunky' - Not really small enough when down for a limited overall height in use.

Mike, York

+ Compact, cheap, easy to use, quite robust, comes with a nifty small shoulder bag, great if space is an issue. Excellent value for money.

- Not very tall. Not the most stable ever in windy conditions etc, head can be a bit wobbly with larger cameras. The screw on the quick release attachment requires a coin/screwdriver to tighten and easily gets mangled as it's made from plastic
