    This is the perfect tripod for taking on trips. I use it with my iPhone on timer when riding motorcycles, set the timer on the phone for group pictures or just my wife and I. So compact it’s easy to take on the bike.

    Overall, the stand is okay for the price. For its purpose, however, the one I got is kind of tilted where the camera is attached. This makes the photo slanted and there is no way to fix it. I would test it out first before buying.

    Fair for the price and what it is supposed to be.

    For what it is, it does its job. But would be a much better value for around fifteen dollars. It isn't great, it isn't bad. It is good. That about sums this one up. There is a black residue that you get on your hands from the leg grease when you are putting the legs in and out. Be mindful that it is really hard to get the legs back in once they are out.
