Purchased as to emergency tripod for my 270gram LX-7 camera, Which Has Its tripod thread Relatively close to the edge of the camera, Hence it's not as stable as it otherwise Should be (the tripod is rated to 250g but I think 270 would be Fine if the thread which in the middle of the camera to prevent it sagging to one side). I have to simply Ensure the feet are rotated to the right angle to prevent the camera from tipping over, Which takes maybe 2-3 seconds for each set-up. In hindsight I probably Should Have Got The Bigger Micro 800 tripod, but not taking anything away from this product - it's top quality!
