    Good tripod, a little thin in the legs. Very compact and light weight.

    Love it!Not too fancy,just a basic tripod to help get steadier shots.Also great for taking family portraits...that you can be in now,too.Like the little button you put on you camera in the tripod screw hole that makes it a one touch operation to put on your camera.

    Love what this tri-pod can do, but after a few months the locking wheel up top got stuck and clicks but would not come loose. After several minutes it finally came loose, and now i don't tighten as much so it doesn't happen again.

    It is perfect for recording videos with a camcorder and iPhone. Quick and easy to move around, and lock in place. Like the two options for the round head, phone or camcorder. The build quality it amazing, thinking of buying a second one.

    This is my second purchased, I have the exact same one for my camera. And I bought this for my studio light. I usually record a video indoor. I just love it, especially it has quick release, switch to other camera takes like a second. So guys, this is 100% Recommend. Do not hesitate.

    It is stable for my M50 but not so much for my Canon 90D. The Canon 90D is heavier especially that I'm using a Sigma lens with it. It's much heavier. But I like the fact that it came with the phone mount though. I like it a lot. One can travel with it very easily.

    Good Product, Terrible Documentation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The tripod itself does exactly what it was bought to do ... 45 minutes after we took it out of the box. The documentation is HEINOUS, and doesn't even make any mention of how to attach the cellphone holder. When you've stumped two people with a background in technical support, you're doing something wrong.

    Gets the job done. Not as sturdy as well-constructed as more expensive tripods. But very portable, nice lightweight carry bag which can be slung over a shoulder. Lightweight is a plus.

    I continue to be impressed by this tripod. It is super easy to set up and is exactly as tall as me (5'1"), making it perfect to even get eye level shots when I'm out adventuring. Very intuitive to adjust!

    Great sturdy tripod that works well with your phone or camera. I used it for trips to Disneyland and the beach — not a single complaint. Build quality is great so I’m never worried about water, sand, dust, and wind.

    For the money, this tripod is bang on. Easy mount, easy adjust and feels nice and solid. Does not have that crumby cheap feeling of the $40 tripods but is not a giant investment. Happy middle ground for most people.

    Wow! That's all I can say, this tripod is the cat's meow when it comes to tripods! The grip for changing angles is just amazing! And it folds up small enough to fit into my camera backpack yet it's still super tall when extended!

    Great tripod for any set up. Allows you to set it up at all kinds of levels and even has a removable shaft. We bought ours with the red tag and it was actually missing the camera mount, But we went back and they gave us one so props for that.

    This tripod is very versatile. Made with Good Quality materials and stands up tall or very low if needed. The part where you put the camera rotates with ease with the turn of a knob and also pivots in many directions not just horizontal but vertical

    This tripod is solid and the pan/tilt lock stays locked the weight of a fully extended 70-350mm telephoto on a6600. It can be short, it can be tall, it can be somewhere in the middle depending on the situation.
