Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the camera tripod. They mention that it is much smaller than expected, the target and scale are too small to be of value, and the numbers are too large.

It's a little expensive but well built and necessary
5 Stars
It's a little expensive but well built and necessary
Until we all switch to mirrorless cameras, adjusting the focus with a tool like this is necessary. Every lens and camera is a bit different and if you want accurate focus you need this. However don't get fanatical with it. You really don't have to setup a tripod and perfectly level everything, just generally shoot at the target a few times, zoom in on the results from your camera screen, and adjust the settings in camera. This cost more than printing out a test chart, but it folds up, is easy to use, and has a great target for a focus system to lock on too.
