I have this, and it works as intended. My only wish is that this came in all black or a better color scheme.

after a few months of occassional use, notice that your camera will be moving up or down by itself.

Don't you dare use this with a conventional film camera.

Same. Never had a problem with M-line. Some of the products might not be the best quality, but that is the MFGs problem and not M-lilne's fault, imo.

Get a Joby Gorillapod instead. Better quality and not from meritline.

I like the UltraPods better than this style ... bendy legs are not my favorite.

If you are concerned about quality, then get a well-built tri-pod...otherwise they are fine for random crap and kids.

I've bought stuff from Meritline over the past 5 years, never a problem. In particular I've bought maybe $500 worth of high-quality Taiyo Yuden DVD-R blanks and the company has always followed through.
I have one of these tripods and have not used it much, simply because I see this as something to use in a situation where a conventional tripod won't do (wrapping around a railing, etc.) It's pretty light duty but should hold a still cam or a small camcorder okay.
It's also fun to play with. Gives visitors something to do.
