    Good purchase for the money. The mount is easily transferrable to larger tripods. The camera clamp can get a bit tight on phones with thicker cases. The included external microphone and light are great additions to the package.

    A mistake. The microphone is not helpful at all. The light for mine did not work at all. As a tripod it was ok. Wish I didn’t let the sale price fool me into buying this.

    Complete crap. Light didn’t work, mic was no better than the built in on my iPhone. Found a use for the tripod and lightening adapter though. DO NOT BUY

    As soon as I unboxed and tried Digipower, the microphone didn’t work. I tried two different iPhones to rule out the phone issue. I called their support number and the only option was to leave a voicemail. I never heard back from anyone. I will be returning this product. If you decide to buy then you will be paying for the stand only, which is made of cheap material. The microphone and light are worthless.

    This product was very cheaply made and the microphone part would not stay still. My phone, an iPhone XR, was too heavy for this apparently.

    This is a very reliable stand, and I like that it came with the LED light. So far, the most useful feature has been the ball axel the camera sits on because it has allowed for steady shots at tough angles. Glad to have it as part of my vlogging tools.

    The set-up is easy to use once understood assembly. The clamping mechanism is too small if using a larger phone with case. My galaxy s5 fe barely fit.

    Daughter loves having this to use for her podcast and videos. The microphone is super useful, though it constantly spins and does not tighten in place. Could be user error though... overall super happy we got this.

    This thing is junk - don’t waste your money. The microphone is no better than the microphone on your device. As a matter of fact, you can barely hear with it. I tried to return it for a refund, but it was after the refund period and I was turned away telling me to contact the manufacturer. I’m out over $70 and stuck with a piece of junk.
