I have a larger tripod by the same manufacturer. Good quality, especially the wearing parts.
Total equipment payload: maximum 1kg/2.2lbs. Please consider that any semi-professional and professional equipment exceeds these requirements
Hmmā¦

So much more flexible - wrappable - hangable - squish into positionable!
Their largest handles 11 lb.
Iāve had their original for >10 years; good as new, tight & bendy!
Guess I wonāt be getting one of these for my Mamiya RB67, then.
Cāmon, donāt tease ā¦ what is it really? A wine bottle opener or an espresso maker?
Nikon D7000: 780 g
Nikon 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor: 280 g.
Damn. Just over the limit. 
Cāmon, this isnāt even an honest recommendation/endorsement (which is the standard BB justification for affiliate links) but a review of Amazon reviewsā¦
I think heās asking us what we think. Without actually asking.
Also probably a highly effective form of marketing.
Iāve had Manfrottos for decades. I have a smaller ātripodā by them.
Iāve used the older version of this with a D700 and 28-300 lens. If you manage your expectations youāll be fine.
Itās far better than nothing (propping the camera on something handy).
Iām a bit disappointed in Mark for posting products he hasnāt tried yet with affiliate links.
Hereās what I use with my DSLR: Joby head with 6.5lb capacity:

with Manfrotto 209 legs, the stiffest Iāve seen:

Yeah, you have a $100 tripod, which Iām sure is well made, and sturdy enough for your purposes. The tripod I chose to display is a $1150 device that supports 20 lbs, is made of carbon fibre, and has a $800 geared head, all the better to support multi thousand dollar lenses.
While Manfrottoās image is best served by not producing absolute junk, Iām not sure that you can make many inferences as to the quality of a $25 tripod.
Especially since that same company sells mini tripod legs, without a head for the same prices as the product featured in this article. They do support 2 kg, however, which gives a bit more of a safety margin.
I have the Manfrotto that I use with either a Polaroid or pinhole, itās great for that. But for real camera work I run with Benroās carbon fiber, amazing deal with an Arca Swiss ballhead.
Looks like a camera-ready R/C copter.
Be sure to add yourself to the list!!
The goddamn list is always hard to find.
