There are some tricks with this, but that's going to be the case with any tool it multiple adjustments that need to be locked most of the time. Once you get a hang of which knob, handle, or other piece adjusts for whatever angle or movement you wish to perform, this is a fantastic tool for video recording. It fit my Canon Vixia camera perfectly and I use it regularly now.
It's a good height for most close to mid-range shots, but you're not going to be recording over people's heads while your camera is mounted on this. It collapses and sets up well, and the adjustments do make sense.
