I purchase the SunPak 50/50 one at first after getting that is was fine for what I purchase it for but it was too bulky to put up an then take down i was on Best Buy clearance page an find the SunPak Platinum Plus Mini Pro 21 tripod I brought it an it worked fine just the right height for iPhone 8 for watching movies liked it so much I purchase another one am hoping that it would be still 12.99 instead of 39.99 it was this one has a little weight to it I can deal with that it’s folds down small enough to put in my camera bag that I brought from Best Buy on the clearance page an for the price an how well it hold my iPhone in place while I watch my movies can’t bet the price only thing the first one was 5.99 shipping an the second one free still was a great price an size must buy

It works well with my Olympus camera. It's nice and lightweight. It's not a good addition to my Galaxy S10+ .

I mean there isn’t much to say about this tripod other than the fact it’s the perfect height to do vlogs and record from a table top. Plenty of height adjustments to choose from and easily to pan the camera around on the mount. I did however to and buy a Joby cellphone adapter to use for my phone (wish it came with one)

I needed to mount my camera behind my monitor so I can stream using my canon camera and this thing was the perfect size for that! It’s small and sturdy and the perfect tripod for streaming!

I got this tripod on clearance. I don't have much experience with tripods but from what I can tell this is a pretty good product. All kinds of adjustability that should get you the shot you want. The only thing that might give me pause is how much plastic this thing is made of. At this clearance price though, I'm ok with it.

I was in my local Best Buy early last month looking at some pc components and decided to do a quick walk through of the cameras and I am very glad I did. The Sunpak mini pro was on sale for $14.99 instead of $39.99 and there were three in stock. I have been picking up filming with my phones more and more lately and for hiking/tabletop filming these are perfect. It comes with the cell phone attachments and fits my iPhone 8+ with its case on no problem.
On sale for $14.99 this is a great product. There are much better at its original price of $39.99 and would not recommend at that price range. I picked up 2 of these and am very very glad I did. I even used one to capture my recent Engagement proposal at the beautiful and not level Oregon Coast :)

Just bought a rebel white canon. This tripod is the one to recommend to people who loves selfies. Light weight and strong enough to stand tall in mother nature circumstances.

I'm kind of on the fence about the quality of this product. Went to use the camera mount for the 1st time and the metal piece to screw the mount to the camera broke off. Had trouble getting it back off due to it being partially screwed in. I will have to make a modification to even attempt to use it again. The other mounts look solid. Won't know for sure till I actually go to use them. Hopefully, with much better results.
