    I needed a tripod for my phone, also I needed a small tripod for my camera. I saw several tripod within same price range. I picked up because it's come with microphone and external light for vlog that I needed it for zoom meeting. It's work perfectly fine for me. I recommend it everyone. It will perfectly work who wants to vlog.

    Very cheaply built. Too lightweight. Microphone doesn't work on newer iPhones if they are in a case. Has a couple of nice features but I'd look around. I bought it to take on trips and vlog about state parks but it's too fragile unless you want to rebox it and reassemble it every time. Nope. Would benefit from better material and a case. Not worth the price they are asking, I'd move along.

    Nice tripod for filming videos and taking pictures. My only problem is that the phone clamp is too small for my phone. I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra and the clamp will not hold it securely. Fortunately, a third-party phone clamp both holds the phone and works with the tripod.

    It just didn't work for me. I was not able to get the microphone to work with my phone. I also realized that I didn't need the light. I liked the tripod, but returned it because I couldn't use all of the components.

    It’s good but keeps pressing the power button on my phone on the more stable side that it can be held on. The sound is average if you are going to be talking, low if you’re trying to record say music playing because you have to be right up to the microphone. Overall if you’re doing simple blogging it’s good.

    Not at all what I thought. Ingeniously designed to fit packaging, but even on sale, it's an overpriced tripod. I used it, as a teacher, for a few days, but if you have a nice, safe phone cover, you're going to hate having to keep removing it to get it to fit in the arm. That "light bar" that looks very Hollywood, is a buck- toy.

    I don’t know if it really brings anything to the table. The sound from the microphone doesn’t seem to be any better than my iPhone’s native mic. The light works just alright. It works well as a little tripod.

    I couldn't get the remote to work. The farther away I was from the camera the smaller the picture was. I got no sound from the mic it had and the lighting was not good that came with the device. Fortunately, I had a backup. I have a ring light that worked very well and I was able to just hole my phone.

    My stand wasn’t that good and the light didn’t fit on to the stand properly so i had to use electric tape to give it a good fit... overall love the light and the microphone but wish it worked better all together, i put it on my other tripod that i like much better and now i love it.

    Worked well for a couple weeks but now the microphone doesn’t work and it won’t hold the phone anymore. Maybe it would’ve been OK if we kept it on the shelf but it’s certainly not functional enough for you to move around with it.

    I don’t like how shaky this product is. It was a somewhat difficult set up for being so small. And the instructions weren’t as clear for the set up.

    Bought it for the tripod. Tripod was great and took a lot of abuse. The light was fine but not very helpful in terms of actually lighting anything. And the mic was unreliable, sometimes great and sometimes with a lot of audio feedback, like popping or static.

    I like the stand, the led lights. But not so much the mike. It doesn’t seem to make a big difference between my phones mic and the one with the kit. It does not remove surrounding extra noise

    Works but just a wee bit flimsy. Clip for phone is small and feels like it may break just opening it wide enough for my Samsung. Check out other aisles beside this isle. Best Buy should have had all choices in the same area
