I've used with my Nikon D40 and kit lens, it stays solid, I can move the camera with no difficulty. Easy to put the camera on the tripod, uses a universal mount. The level helps you to stabilize the camera, maybe you gonna use the level for landscape shots, etc.

Small mount, looks very fragile because the last segment (leg) are very slim. The leg lockers are a bit hard to release, but you can handle that.

If you are looking for a cheap tripod (I think that the price can be less on this one) just to put your camera on and shoot, casual using, it's a good choice.

I recommend it if you are a casual user, but if your camera (SLR specially) are heavy, maybe this tripod is not a good choice. I've used a D40 in this one, and the tripod was aceptable solid. If your camera is not too heavy, and you are just a casual user, go ahead.
