Overall Rating:

Pros: It is small, very sturdy and so far Durable. The screw fits perfectly and it can hold my Canon S5 IS  with no problem whatsoever.
 
Cons: One of the feet fell after some months of use. (fixed simply with super glue)
 
Other Thoughts: It's only good for surfaces. Not like other tripods that can be bent around branches and be fixed on very weird places. It's a tripod for simple normal use.
 
Bottomline: It's not the most flexible thing ever, and takes a little(very little) skill to get it the way you want. It's a great tripod to have in your pocket for taking simple photos like timered group photos and whatnot. I recommend it fully.

Can't beat the price and size

Pros: -Small enough to take everywhere
-Nice to have when you know you can set you camera on something, and you want to able to change where it's pointing.
-Has a clip so you can clip it to things.
-Size makes it super easy to attach and detach.
 
Cons: -The legs fall out quickly, but pressure keeps them in most of the time
Not as tall as it could be.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: For this price, it's definitely useful.  much better than trying to stabilize a camera on a hard surface or trying to keep the camera from moving during a long exposure or between shots.
 
					

Not bad, better options though...

Overall Rating:

Pros: -pocket sized
-good little tripod for quick pictures
 
Cons: -It's almost impossible to get this level for taking pictures straight
-You can't tilt this down at an angle without it falling off, so don't expect to be able to do reviews with this
-smells and feels oily
-the rubber balls on the bottom don't really support it very well
-when you have the camera on top, it becomes top heavy and falls way to easily
 
Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for, this IS very cheap!
 
Bottomline: There are better options, don't get this one.
