This is a great travel tripod for those on the go. I try to keep it with my camera (Canon SX100) wherever I go, because it's so stable, even for my bigger (not so sexy-slim) camera.I use it camping, skateboarding, hiking, kayaking, and even for the occasional group-shot. Of course this tripod can be best utilized if you have a timer setting on your camera, otherwise I don't have much use for it.The legs extend to double the size of them shown in the picture, and are fully adjustable from anywhere in between. The only reason I have not given this product 5 stars is because of the "Portrait" function of the tripod, where my camera isn't as stable because it pulls the tripod off to the side and tips over. Unless I'm on perfectly flat plane, it falls over, that is for the portrait option. NO problems in landscape though.
