    Customers are mixed about the size of the camera tripod. Some mention that it's big, but not ridiculous, and appears to be very well made. The neck is designed to take large cameras but can be adjusted to handle smaller ones too. However, others say that it is very large, the head is also pretty big, and it looks comically large.

    Not designed for wide body camera, but it's an issue you can resolve yourself
    4 Stars
    Not designed for wide body camera, but it's an issue you can resolve yourself
    I have a Nikon Coolpix p1000. On the tripod, my camera overhangs on the right side where you grip most DSLRs. This overhang is directly over the tightening screw used to fasten the plate in place so your camera doesn't move. But because the camera is in the way, you can't actually tighten it down because of the way that screw is designed, see picture. So instead I bought a 6M X 1 set screw and now I'm using an Allen key to tighten it down. This way, it doesn't matter what camera I use, that tightening screw will always be out of the way now.Yes the knob has a spring in it so you can disengage the knob, rotate it, and tighten it again, but it's in a cramped spot, it hard to do that. The instructions don't tell you this, they just say to tighten it.I also had to buy a rubber washer to place between the head of the mounting screw and the mounting plate because even if when I fully tightened the screw, my camera would still swing back and forth.Reminder: It does not come with a carrying case and the packaging was poor. The whole tripod was just tossed into a box with no cushioning, so when it arrived, part of the box was damaged from where the tripod bounced around in the box during transit. For something this expensive, I would have expected proper care on the manufacturers part. But for how beefy this tripod is, there isn't any damage to the product itself.Besides these design flaws and cheap packaging, it's very sturdy and smooth to operate. I'm pretty happy with it.
