    This tripod is much better and cheaper than the $99+ devices! After this one I would never pay more than $50 for a tripod. This product does it all, works well, great quality too

    Far as price and value are concerned, it does everything I need without being overly expensive. I do wish the legs were more intuitive in the way they expand and retract though.

    This is a nice light weight tripod which is easy to carry and take places. It does not extend very high but is perfect if you are doing photos when you need to hold the camera perfectly still.

    I bought this to use for my Logitech webcam (which has a tripod mount). Other tripods were not high enough to use on my desk. This is perfect. It's very stable as well.

    Wouldn't trust it to hold my Canon DSLR

    It might work ok for a very small camera. I use it to support a range finder that weights ~1lb (and doesn't mind falling over occasionally). The stand is small and light so easy to stuff in a bag. There is no "positive) locking capability for the legs... that's the main stability problem. To be fair, the stand worked ok for my use and may work well for a small (purse type) camera ... but wouldn't try it on a camera that was heavy or could possibly be damage with a fall

    This tripod is very compact to carry, but expands to the perfect height. We use it with an iPhone attachment to film my daughter’s violin practice. It just works great.

    For a tabletop or something a bit larger, you'll be just fine. Extending the legs all the way gets a little wobbly and won't hold steady for a bulb shot
