I agree, this is a good, inexpensive tripod. Very sturdy. Mine doesn't get much use, but if I had to use it, I wouldn't complain. Good luck with the sale.

Bump for the day so no one misses this.

The quick release post is unique and far better than the usual plate. But is the first thing that people seem to lose so many of these tripods listed for sale have the post missing.
