I have had numerous tripods over the years in the sub-$100 category and the Victiv 82" Tripod has been the best one by far. While most other tripods I have used have either broken shortly after purchase or had finicky adjustment mechanisms, this one feels very premium and has shown no signs of ware over my first year of use.

As stated above, all of my tripod experience is with tripods in the sub-$100 range and so I cannot speak for everyone BUT I can say for sure that this is the best tripod I have used and given it's features(quick adjustment latches, integrated monopod, 82" height, padded legs, included carrying case and phone mount, integrated dual levels, and more) offers by far the most bang for the buck of any tripod I have found or used.
