Small tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great tripod for packing around but at full extension it can be a bit wobbly. I wouldn't use it for anything but a point and shoot camera or a gopro.

light weight tripod
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the fact that this can be used with a cell phone so I can take time lapse photos as well as use the panning feature to get high quality panorama shots with my iPhone. It works with almost all smart phones because it's adjustable. I also like the light weight and the fact that the cell phone grip can be removed and used on a different tripod as well as use the tripod with other cameras because the mount matches other dslr as well as point and shoot cameras.

Good tripod, if your camera is lightweight
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tripod is quite lightweight, which is nice for carrying it on a hike (for example), but I've actually already returned this item as my camera/lens was too heavy for the ball-head mount. When shooting in a portrait (vertically framed) orientation, the ball head slipped and would not keep my camera level. That will not work for me.

Great for price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Legs work fully extreme or closed. Sometimes falls to one side of using middle songs and not careful. Easy to use and very stable once set though.

Good for the money, packs well.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not my best tripod but it fills the bill for one that's easy to throw in a suitcase. Just take care when tightening to be sure it doesn't slip.

Great for travel
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as travel tripod. Easy to tuck away in any purse. May not be able to hold a large dslr with large zoom lens. Tried with Canon mark iv and 24-105, barely held up. Worked fine with dslr and 50 mm lens

Nice small tripod

More portable that it is stable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to support a relatively small and lightweight camera (Canon G15). It is collapses into a small bundle as described, however, I found it to be somewhat shaky making it unsuitable for any photos with a long shutter speed. I also do not see the legs holding up over the long haul. I went with a gorilla pod and returned this item.

ok but flimsy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is useful and nice, it came with a bundle, but it is a bit flimsy for my taste- I would have bought a more heavy duty one but that's maybe just me
