I bought the Delamax tripod because I was looking for a tripod which is light and small and I can not buckle my backpack without any problems, what about my great tripod of 1.6 kilograms of the case. I used the tripod with a Nikon D60 which depending on the lens approx 800-1000g weighs in fully extended state is a bit shaky but still inordnung, it is best to not pull the lower leg extension, since it is very thin, then is the stand very stable. Furthermore, I must say that it is processed very very good for the price. The Delamax can I recommend it to anyone looking for a new tripod for little money and has a camera under 1kg.
