I use this tripod for a pair of celestron skymaster 20x80 binoculars, which is a lot heavier than what you should probably use of a tripod like this (7.7 lbs). Even at full height, the image can be is steadied enough to be useful at any angle. It can be difficult to adjust certain axis, particularly the vertical axis, and with the weight of large astronomy binoculars it's not an especially stable image, however, by pulling against the lever and on of the legs you can steady the image pretty well even when overloaded. The difficultly in adjusting the vertical axis results from being forced to tighten the screw a lot to support a lot of weight, so it can't be helped. Point is, at this price those disadvantages are very well worth. You wouldn't use this tripod if you were trying to take really great shots or get the most out of your equipment, but you would if you didn't want to spend a lot of money on your tripod and you just wanted it to work pretty well. Very good price, does the job effectively.
