    I liked that it's rigid and strong. Only thing that bother me is that once the camera is screwed on the mount is not always straight, takes some adjusting to get a level picture

    I bought the tripod for a cheap option to use with my camera. Photography is a hobby of mine. It's okay for the price. It's a little flimsy but I haven't tested it too much yet.

    You can't beat the price for a tripod this size. Very easy to use once you learn how the legs retract from a locked position. Great for the occasional user.

    Great tripod! The only thing is that it should come with a wireless controller for the phone's camera.
