    This is a decent tripod but if you use a camera with a heavy lense this is not the tripod for you. It's not for anything over 3.3 lbs which is less than a telephoto lense so it'll be going back. I couldn't find the weight specs until after I purchased it.

    It’s an alright stand. it’s a very tall stand but doesn’t support the big cameras I have. It’s also not very user friendly.

    does the job for the price it was listed at ($59), however i felt the "handgun-roller unlock" mechanic was crude and hard to navigate if you wanted to turn the camera around to refocus your shot.

    Very flimsy if you're using it with a real camera. Probably fine for a phone.

    Not the sturdiest but can get the job done. Was hoping For better quality for the price but nowadays, you probably have to spend at least $100 or more.

    Drove 45 minutes for In-Store pick up, only to receive a box with missing parts. Went to another BestBuy hoping they could replace it and expected me to pay another $20 on top for the missing parts……horrible experience. Waste of time and gas.

    Practical tripod for camera and phones.

    The tripod is light and portable. The screwing mechanism could be improved, but if your fingernail is long enough, you may not need a coin to tighten your camera. The balance bubble indicator works well. It would be nice to have a separate latch for the included phone holder or other devices. This could save time if you need to switch cameras.

    First tripod and I’m not really happy with it, The removeable plate wobbles with the camera on it. I’ve had a few friends who were very skilled photographers and they all said it was defective. If I was still within my return, I would honestly take it to Best Buy. Now the removable plate is lost, I looked on Amazon so replacement was going to cost about 16 bucks. I don’t think I’m going to bother replacing it.

    This might be the flimsiest and least balanced tripod I've ever used. Having used their rugged and flexible mini tripods, I wanted to try this as it shared the same mount. I've been quite disappointed and even nervous to put my camera set up on it.

    Considering it’s not aluminum it’s pretty heavy to carry around for travel and it’s pretty annoying how it’s only completely compatible with only with ( JOBY ) products making this product pretty much obsolete for a travel companion. ( sun pack mono pod )
