    If you just need a simple tripod this will do the trick, but for more flexibility and stronger construction I would go with something else for me

    Though it meets my needs for a very lightweight travel tripod it is still a little flimsy

    Quality is less than what I expected. Mine broke when I tried to raise the highest portion of it, but I suppose I could’ve been less firm with it. Would’ve worked otherwise.

    Picked it up looking for a cheap, yet effective piece of equipment and was more than pleased! The padded grip makes it easy to carry around for extended periods of time! Great product for the value!

    Currently own a Samsung digital camera which has a feature that allows you to wirelessly connect to a Samsung phone. This allows my wife to setup tripod and pose family how she wants us, look at setup on her phone and then take the picture.

    I actually enjoy that it is so lightweight. I carry on my pack hiking and pretty much anywhere I take my whole "setup", it lashes on the side of pack and other than looking kinda cool, it's actually rather incognito. If you're looking for a tripod for similar uses, enjoy

    This is a very simple tripod but it does a fine job for simple use. My daughter uses is for her youtube videos, and I use it to video my son's basketball games.

    I bought two of these because I was in a pinch for a video shoot the next day. My other tripods did not have the 1/4" screw needed for connecting the cameras. I had eo keep an eye on them so kids didn't knock them down at the wedding reception, but they worked well. This is a good tripod for the money.

    I really like this tripod. It's simple to set up and folds to an easily transportable size. I really like that the top comes off, so you can leave the camera attached to the base, but not to the tripod when moving.

    At first I didn’t think I was going to like it. It seemed a little light weight but after using it it worked fine.

    My grandson loved his tripod! I was disappointed that it was delivered with the box very damaged and not in a plain brown box so he couldn't see what he got. He happened to be at my house when it was delivered.

    Quality just isn't there for this Tripod

    Quality just isn't there for this Tripod. Primarily use at sporting events for my kids, where expanding and collapsing of tripod legs is frequent throughout a weekend of tournament play. The warranty policy sucks, not only do you have to pay to send it back to Sunpak, you have to provide them pre-payment to send it back to your home - that's terrible customer service (literally cost me 1/2 the original purchase value) to get tripod fixed when a leg broke off for no apparent reason.

    I bought this to hold the microphone for my surround sound setup. I’m not sure it would support a large camera setup, but it works great for my needs.

    This tripod is perfect it's tall and versatile. It came with an iphone attachment and I didn't know I needed one until now! I bought the tripod for my Nikon camera but really use it for my iphone with the attachment.

    We got two of these to mount two exact cameras, we got these because they went higher than other standard ones, love that the bubble level is built right in. They are decent mid quality for average use.

    Great tripod. Bought it last minute for some beach pictures and it did great. I highly recommend buying this!
