The legs are strong and too stiff, and I can see it being somewhat difficult to wrap it around things as advertised (the legs feel like they might snap if you did that). ... The ball head very nice, good quality. ... I gave this tripod 4 stars because it really does seem strong and nicely made if it fits your particular needs. ... "
