TRIPOD - Not as robust a one would expect.

I bought this tripod for a cell phone rig I was building. I liked its compactness and lightweight, as well as the ability to position it on a table without taking up too much room. Those are the pros. I have owned this thing for some months and it sits in my equipment locker mostly except on the 3 or 5 occasions that I have used it (which is to say, I am careful with my gear). Lately, every time I touch it something comes off of it and I am unable to put it back. Not sure if I lost a piece in the process but now its basically worthless because the tension knob on the side cannot be locked down. Neewer usually makes reasonable quality items, was surprised that this one did not turn out. Unsure of what the warranty is on this, but it definitely under a year!
