    Good Portable Tripod

    Needed a small compact tripod for vacation. This fit the bill perfectly. Its a little on the heavy side for its size but it was stable on any surface. The legs are a twist to lock and unlock style telescope setup, due to this there were times this was very difficult to pull out or push in and seemed like the legs could bend or break off. I do not recomend putting anything over 3-4 pounds on this tripod as anything heavier could cause it to easily fall over.

    it's late for travel to the legs are kinda flimsy. you wouldn't want to put anything heavy on this as soon it won't support that much weight. but if you're traveling out of the country I need something light and it serves it's purpose. Legs can be difficult to get even if on uneven surface. Still prefer my manfroto.

    A great small tripod, best suited for smaller less bulky and or lightweight devices. bought it for its small size, works great, but when extended can be a little unsteady and top heavy.

    This tripod is very light, construction wise not as sturdy as may look in the pictures. Definitely not recommended for a big camera. This is a small camera tripod. Repurposed for my cellphone and works great.

    I bought this tripod for my wife to take pictures with her phone. It's easy to collapse and fit into her (rather large) purse so we can take it wherever we go. The plastic build seems to be of a good quality. If you're looking to take pictures with your phone from a tripod and don't want to pay a premium, this is what you're looking for.

    This tripod is nice to use on trips, as it is small enough to carry around with you. My camera is a bit to heavy for it as it bends the shoe mount down holding the camera at a angle. The legs are a bit wobbly when exstended out. If your camera is not to heavy it is a great tripod for travel.

    Super compact but expands and does the job of full size tripod. I love th fact that it fits in my camera case so no more carrying around a large bulky tripod in addition to my camera case, purse, etc. I highly recommend!

    I found this to be quite useful for light duty but you need to make sure you use it somewhere that it won't be bumped. If it's got an expensive camera on top it could be an issue. I wouldn't put my expensive DSLR up here but for my little video camera it was fine but I still keep it somewhere that I don't think it will be interfered with as the slightest bump will send it over since the tripod is so lightweight.

    I have a Qumi Q6 projector and my old tripod busted. Needed a new one and this was the only one they had. It’s a great little tripod that can hold more than just a camera. Lightweight and small, perfect for traveling and fits right inside my backpack without taking up much room.

    This product is perfect for taking pictures on the go. It is small, light and will fit in most camera bags. If you are looking for a stand to use at home for portraits and such you would probably want a different stand. This one is short and not at a comfortable height for most people. However it is perfect for travel.
