    NOT OK FOR VIDEO

    ...but an excellent choice for still photography, for the price. I needed this for the pan head, but once it was loosened enough to turn, the head was super wobbly rocked back and forth. Not usable for filming. Such a shame because everything else seemed so well-made, right down to the carrying pouch. I'm almost tempted to keep it, but I'm on a student budget and I only have room in my life (and dorm) for one tripod. Going back to the store tomorrow.

    The best feature of this tripod is it's wheel based locking system on the handle.

    Bought it because it was on sale. Very pleased. It adapted to both an iPhone as well as my Nikon camera. The height is perfect and the flexibility is a plus.

    My daughter uses this for her photography class. She likes it because it holds her camera. Allows her to take really nice pictures.

    I have two of these tripods in my arsenal, because they are so versatile and reliable. I couldn't imagine having a tripod that does less, or buying one that costs more.

    Great build quality. Hardware seems sturdy. Using full sized DSLR’s, w/heavy lens seems a little overwhelming for this mount. Gopros, phones, small cameras should be fine.

    Clamps are intuitive and easy to use. Overall quite happy with the device. The mobile adapter clamp is difficult to use and problematic, or I'd give this package the last star.

    Nice tripod but not heavy duty. It’s fine if not everyday use but I would invest in a sturdier one if you use camera daily. All in all nice product no complaints.

    I actually like this one. I accidentally broke the piece to hold my phone, just be careful of that. I use it for family events and family/friends can use with their devices!!
