+ Light weight.
Small pack size so it can be put into a daysac and doesn't compromise on weight.

- Not as stable as a full sized tripod.
Adaptor can be a bit fiddly.
Not as easy to have legs at different length for uneven ground.

Jay, Essex

+ Small and lightweight, Great to keep in the kitbag or case with a pocket camera.

- Not very sturdy, use timer on the camera to avoid initial wobble. Good enough for pocket camera but will (just) hold light SLR. Mine needed some fettling to get legs to lock first time.

Tony, Aughnavallog

+ It is small enough for back pack, light for carrying, handy set up.

- could be a bit more sturdy, legs wobble slightly but not too much comparing too how much it weighs

Chris, Carlisle

+ The lightest and most compact tripod I could find that wasn't just a table tripod.

- Not quite as high as I might like, but you can't have everything . . .

John, Cardiff

+ Cheap

- It's lightweight design can make it feel unstable at times especially at full length. No tilt to rest camera for portrait shots.

- Very wobbly - the 'Bambi' of tripods. Yes, I know it's intended to be a lightweight one, so there must be some compromises, but I can't help thinking if the design of the legs was better (they extend like an ariel), it could be more robust without being heavier or bulkier

Jim, Burford

+ Lightweight

- Not as stable or as adjustable as a heavier tripod so it must be used with more care...but this is the price to be paid for lightness
