Great tripods. Unless you have a giant multi pound TV new crew camera, these will work for most other needs.
The build quality is there. The legs are sturdy. The plastic parts are thick and strong feeling. There is nothing new in this unit's design. I had something very similar (but less sturdy feeling) 25 years ago. Classic design built well with a good price.
In the photo you can see a hook on the bottom. Great to weigh down the stand in a brisk wind or to keep it from toppling from simple bumps by careless people.
I liked it so much I bought four. Two hold my video recording cameras (DLSR type). Another holds my ZOOM H5 audio recorded (which has a standard camera stand screw socket). The fourth is a 'cold spare' ready for what ever need I may have. This is a great way to get started in amateur video, or photography while getting a solid product.

Sturdy tripod for the money
I must say, for $26 and change, you get two of these and the build is pretty nice for the money. It’s sturdy enough for intermediate use of a photographer or videographer that works inside. It had nice height to it, 5 feet total, in my opinion that’s perfectly fine for my needs. Has a nice plastic handle so you can carry with ease if you are going from location to location. You can adjust he legs easily with 2 height setting on the legs and the feet swivel cause they are on balls. And the bottom even comes with a hook, it’s nice for me cause I can hang it on the ceiling when I make drum videos.All in all, this is a fairly sturdy tripod for the money and it comes with a nice carrying bag. You can easily find sturdier ones but you can’t beat 2 of these for $26, takes care of all my photography needs.

I didn't buy these to use with a camera
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018
These tripods are awesome. They are light, well made, and inexpensive. I actually bought these to make 2 floor lamps, and they turned out great. They are sturdy and I can adjust the height! And with this 2-pack, they were only $20 each, which I think is a downright bargain! They came with 2 carrying bags that I'll never use, but I'm sure they would be handy for a photographer on the go. My only complaint is that the tripods were pretty hard to take apart. That's only a gripe from my perspective, though- it actually is a testament to how durable these will actually be out in the field!

Es muy estable, ligero, acabado genial, tiene asa para transportarlo, multitud de posiciones y con un giro suave. Tiene una gran altura como se puede ver en la foto (medido real), con tres secciones en las patas y gancho en el centro para colgar la bolsa u otra cosa que necesitemos dejarla bajo control.
La extensión de las patas con el enganche rápido es supersencillo y rápido (valga la redundancia). He tenido otros que se tardaban en bajar las patas (o recogerlas). Al final de las mismas, tiene una zapata de goma que ayuda mucho a la sujección y para no resbalar en suelos lisos.
En definitiva, un gran tripode para la mayoría de nosotros por un precio estupendo.
