I checked to see if it could hold my video camera that weighed 1.2 lbs. I thought it said it would hold it. Technically it does hold it up but it slowly goes sideways and cannnot hold up the weight. I will keep it and use it for my very small cameras

First of all, realize that this is a special purpose tripod. It's great for panorama, HDR and low light applications - assuming a fairly light camera. It comes in a nice case and is vey easy to carry around, especially when you're walking through some fairly challenging country. Plus it's quite inexpensive.

For studio work or work with heavy cameras and long lenses - forget it. It's much too lightweight. But the tripods and tripod heads I use for that kind of work are not something I like to drag around for casual outdoor shots.

Use this tripod with my sony camera Cyber-shot. It is great for trips and vacations so I don't have to ask someone to take a picture for me, and I get the pictures I want. Also used it for time exposure like moon and stars. Would not use it with a heavier SLR camera. Very portable easy to carry.
