This is a great tripod if you need to have your kinect free-standing, and need to be able to control pitch / tilt etc.
I work with Kinects as part of my job, and need to be able to position them at different heights, facing different directions, at different places in the room. I also have to move the kinect and its tripod to different locations to demonstrate the technology I'm working on.
I got this tripod because it was cheap. I bought two more because they were cheap AND did a great job!
The kinect snaps right into a mount on the top of the tripod, and is easy to snap back out again, two small clasps. The tripod is very light weight and collapses down to maybe 2' by 5". The legs let it extend so the kinect is perhaps 4' off the ground at its highest. The tripod has tilt and pan for the top joint, so for example I was able to get the kinect to point almost straight down at the ground.
The legs are like any collapsable tripod. They have flip compression locks that allow you to adjust the legs to whatever length you like, then lock them into place. I was also happy to be able to fold the legs together without shortening them, so I can lean the tripod out of the way when I'm not using the kinect.
Overall, very good value for the money!
