If you're only putting you a tripod to take a one in a year family photo, really no need for$$$$ ones.
Heck, even the $3-4 Daiso super lite aluminum short tripods will do.
This one? The plastic head that lets you flip the camera 90 degrees can break if overloaded or abused. But hey, it's not a $$$ manfroto solid metal, heavy ass professional tripod you can go to war with.
Ie. If you're putting on the typical consumer point and shoot or light dslr, no issues for the occasional photo.
Yes, you might find it'll flip over on unstable surfaces, heavy winds, too heavy camera, but just hang a bag under the middle of the tripod with a few pounds of anything to weigh it down.
No, it's not a video tripod, so panning side to side wont be smooth, but even on pro tripods, you'll need to spend more to get that (fluid heads). And easier just to pickup the entire tripod to rotate for photos side to side sometimes in cheap tripods.

Tons of tripods.
Slik / Sony $50-100 will be a nice start. Mid weight, but typically lasts and stable.
$100+ manfroto legs only + $ to $$$ tripod head appropriate for your use good for pros (and heavy).
Thanks
The actual model number you get is "5858DLX", and the box/item/package has no mention of "PlatinumPlus" or "5858D". Seems like the company has rebranded the item maybe, or BB is dumping cheap B-grade (C-grade? D-grade?) runs of the product.
As far as the product goes, it feels EXTREMELY cheap. Even a stretch for $10, I'd say worth about $5. The plastic is horribly molded with sharp tabs/edges not trimmed everywhere, fit/finish pretty bad, the main center metal pole on mine has a deep wavy gouge through the black finish brand new out of the box. It feels like something I would pick up at a cut-rate swap meet in China after negotiating the price down with the proprietor from $20 to $5 or something.
I am a filthy casual phone-only person, refuse to buy fancy cameras, and this may work for my needs. I would not want to put an actual camera on here at all.
I did search reviews of this item before I purchased and from what I can tell (tons of Youtube unboxing vids but few substantive reviews, lots of short and meaningless product reviews on Amazon), most reviews are fake/compensated.

I second his opinion though. Very light plastic. Not robust. If you baby the tripod it should last a while. Definitely use indoors on a flat surface. However, if using with a light cell phone, it offers lots of different heights, tilts, and angles for different types of photos you may need.
