    Straightforward, simple tripod for basic use. My husband mounts his webcam on this tripod for his virtual DnD campaigns. It makes it very easy for him to shift the camera exactly where it needs to be on his maps.

    This tripod closes up to an easy to transport size or expands for quick use on the go. We mount a Cannon to this tripod. Also purchased an attachment that will allow me to mount my iPhone to the tripod.

    Bought as college graduation gift to go along with the rest of the camera gear my niece got. She loved the tripod! Is currently using it on a camping trip thru the western states before she begins her working career, easy to pack, and holds the weight of her new Nikon DSLR plus a zoom lense.

    With today's access to digital video cameras, one would think that the ease in which a tripod can pan would be a priority. Unfortunately, this on sticks every do often, causing a jerky motion in what should otherwise be a fluid move. Otherwise, this tripod is sturdy and works on creating a level viewpoint.

    I bought this stand to have on my computer desk to stream my razor camera is connected to it and have to say love that I can move it around where ever I need it. The stand is pretty sturdy and I am happy with it. I wish they would have added the phone clap so i can use my phone for time to time.
