It can handle point and shoot cameras pretty well. DSLRs or unbalanced loads / non kit lens may tip the tripod.
Pro Sturdy for its size
It can support up to 1.7 Lbs / 800g / 28.2oz.
Pro Pocket sized/very compact
This tripod folds in a circular fashion. Some people leave the tripod mounted to the camera in the folded position during a session and unfold the legs when it's time to get low or use a surface for support.
Cons
Con No height adjustability
The tripod is only capable of letting you change the angle of your shot about 35 degrees once it is on a flat surface.
Con The mechanism to tighten or loosen the ballhead is terrible
It is a pain to adjust the angle/rotation of the ballhead. If it's mostly going to be a leave it and forget it affair (it only has 36 degrees of rotation anyway) then you're fine. But if you need to change it frequently this unit is not for you.
