    Great height, good flexibility. Only problem is if you’re camera is a bit heavy or have too many things in it the tilt will just fall no matter how hard you tighten it

    Sturdy, stable and easy to use. My wife and I primarily use this to support a 100mm scope to watch birds. Of course, we can also use it with our digital SLR camera. We like the quality, stability and ease of use.

    Last night, I set the fully extended tripod on a table (without spreading the legs all the way apart), and the metal frame held fast in a strong breeze. Also, once the camera is set it doesn’t move around

    This is a very sturdy and smooth operating stand. I like this stand a lot. Keep in mind that the extra arm is really good for video. I can get in the way for night photography but I still prefer this stand. Very sturdy!!

    I bought two tripods by another brand before coming back and buying this. Every other tripod I had was defective… (like came out of the box broken) this was everything I wanted and more! Love it

    Was skeptical before the purchase - 2 of my old stands got wobbly at the neck where the camera is attached to the stand. This one seems to be working good so far. Will update this if something changes at a later date.

    Great tripod. Doesn’t come with a level which makes it harder to line up the camera for best quality shots. Very easy to set up and good carrying case for it included.

    I bought this to finally get a new tripod (been using an old school one from goodwill lol). it's actually pretty weighty for its small size but no so much its a hassle to carry. the phone mount is also a great lil addition.

    Perfect for my DSLR camera, and is usable with my phone too. I can make it extend way up, or make it small. Folds up very compact and goes into its small carrying case. Love it

    The tripod is excellent, sturdy, easily adjustable. The phone attachment is a little difficult to work, but is doable. I couldn't figure out how to attach an Ipad, however.

    This tripod is solid and operates with two handles to give full 3-axis control. Travels well. Have used it to photograph hummingbirds successfully, as well as record video.

    This has become my go to tripod. I really like it. It's tall enough to do what I need but folds compact enough and is light enough to not be troublesome when packing for a long trip. I'd buy it if I were you.

    I wanted a cheap, no thrills, compact tripod - it delivered on all three. it is cheap, it is no thrills, and it is compact. It is compatible with the CLUTCH base, and that is also critical because it is a pain to remove it. I am happy.

    Fantastic tripod!! I originally intended on getting the model under this but I decided to get this instead. I wanted the ability to have more control over my camera. It’s also very sturdy.

    I bought this tripod to shoot portrait style videos for mobile device viewing on apps like Instagram and Snapchat. It has been amazing. The only downside to this tripod is that the legs are hard to extend and retract.
