A faculty member at my work had this specific Tripod which lead to me purchasing it specifically. I can tell anyone considering a tripod that this one offers a couple things most do not. Although a very simple and common item these days. The UBeeSize Tripod offers 4 locking extensions where most offer only 3. The Base or feet can be used very little or expanded to a huge size relieving any situation of a Top Heavy and falling over situations. For its cost.... I’d purchase it again.
