    I really like that it comes with a phone holder as well as a camera one. Because separately they are around 25 dollars each. I wish it opened up a little more at the base because it can be a little wobbly if it’s not secure all the way. But other than that it did the job and overall I think it was a great purchase

    Loved this product. It comes with compatible phone holder too. I use this tripod for shooting with my iphone and my Sony a7rii camera (with sigma 35mm 1.4 art lens and 85mm sony lens). The tripod holds the weight with ease and sturdiness.

    I purchased this tripod to go along with a Sony camera and this was the best decision I could have made. If you want something easy to use that will fit multiple brands of cameras, this is your product.

    Great tripod with lots of features. Only issue is that the carrying bag is a little cheap and the opening is smaller than usual, so getting it in and out is a little tight

    I got this tripod after mine broke and it works great! I espically love how it has a different type of lock then the typical one and I can leave it on my camera at all times without it getting in the way

    Great for taking stills. Height adjustment controls are excellent. The quick release plate is handy. For videos however, the tripod head and locking dial design isn't smooth and solid enough to prevent unintentional image jerks.

    After just a little handling, I am happy with the quality and variable head unit. The only issue is that the phone adapter's spring tension is very tight and I and unable to use it with my Pixel 6, which is the primary reason I bought it.

    Very sturdy and sleek design. The cellphone holder is perfect for these new phones with great cameras. I like this because I am 6'3" and needed that extra height when taking still photos. Great tripod!

    Since the pandemic, I have had to make instructional videos instead of having in-person seminars. This stand really helped with the positioning of my camera so that I could give proper instructions in my videos.

    The mechanism in the top is a bit unique but handy once you figure it out. Wish it had an option to turn the camera sideways, especially when using a phone. Other than that I love it. The way the handle locks is brilliant!

    I was delightfully surprised at how good the head on this tripod is. It's fast to setup and really functional for getting the camera pointed in the right direction. I do wish that the legs were a little more rigid but there is no danger with this tripod tipping. enjoy!

    Been looking for a tripod with great reputation, quality and portability. Can't think of any brand better than this. This tripod brand was recommended by a good friend of mine who does professional photography.
