Taking pictures is a hobby to me, so my needs out of a tripod were pretty simple. I originally bought this tripod for the purpose of setting up a "photobooth" at a Christmas party with friends with a Sony A5100, which was a very light camera so I didn't require much of the tripod other than just keeping it up. I am happy to report that it has been almost 5 years since and I still use this tripod! I use it to take our own family photos, recording family videos, to take pictures of the sky or any scenes where I need the camera to be superrrr still, etc.
I have a heavier camera now (Sony A7II) in comparison to the one I had then, and even so I have not had any issues with stability. I will point out, however, that I don't use very heavy lenses (between 24mm and 55mm) so I cannot speak to how it would if you used longer, heavier telephoto lenses. I also have only used it mostly on flat land, so I also cannot speak to its stability in very uneven surfaces where you'd have to adjust the height of each leg differently.
I find that it is extremely easy to set up and put away, and it is very light. You are able to adjust the height of the tripod as well as the angle of the camera very easily. I love the versatility of the mounting plate since I am able to screw in my DJI Osmo with my phone, as well as my insta360 and GoPro cameras.
I have seen other tripods out there that are much more expensive so I'd imagine (or at least hope) that it would be much better quality, but not once have I found myself considering purchasing another yet. I think this tripod is quite a bang for your buck!
