The tripod is pretty decent for its price. It has everything I expected. It is light, easy to fold and unfold. I've been using it for a while and found that although it seem fragile, it has not been damaged as yet. The only issue I have with it is that it's a bit bulky to carry. But I guess that is expected from a 5' tripod. It comes with a nylon carrying bag that you can sling over your back. The strap is not adjustable though.
