    It serves our purposes and performs well without any extra pizzazz. It's lightweight and easy to use. Works great for mobile phones or other handheld cameras. Easy for kids to carry so they feel like they're helping.

    This tripod worked for what I needed it for. It is very light and compacts pretty good. It worked for travel. It is very flimsy though. The lightness of it makes it seem like it could be blown over easily.

    Legs are little thin and one bent little after first use. Was able to bend back by hand to straighten out. For the cost though, not bad and very easy to carry around. Stands up about 4ish ft high fully extended. Does what I need it to do.

    I have bought this for my wife she was looking something to create videos. Now she is very happy with this. She usually create home videos and since its light weight and handy so it works very well for her. The most amazing thing she likes is she can use both her phone and camera with this and there is no complexity to use this product. Over all we are extremely happy with this product and I shall recommend it to very one.

    I purchased this for when I travel as I wanted something light that wouldn’t affect my baggage allowance too much. This is really light but still sturdy enough to take the weight of my really heavy dslr camera with lens. Folds up fairly compact and very happy overall with it.

    Loved the tripod. Very simple to use; even my wife and daughter was able to use it immediately without any problems. Loved that it was super light, practically small in it's bag which makes it very portable. We used it for a family video conference and worked perfectly....didn't have to move anything significantly to get a good shot of the family on the cam. Truly recommend for any casual use and/or for beginners!

    If you are looking for a Cheap "starter" tripod this one is it! It is Travelsmart, super light weight. You can use it as a vlog set up, but don't extend the legs. The legs are flimsy when they are all extended out, so be careful. It also comes with a cell phone clamp so you can take pictures or video with your phone. My big negative with this tripod, there is a little black piece the sticks up mine broke the first time I attached my Canon to it but it still gets the job done.

    This camera stand is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. Great for a beginner/amateur photographer while traveling. Wish it had some kind of eyelet or loop to clip onto my travel pack easily.

    If you are looking for a lightweight tripod, then this is perfect. However, the tripod legs do not glide out easily, and the levers and knobs are hard to adjust. I found it to be a bit wobbly, too, but that is probably because it is so lightweight. I will keep it for times when I am on level surfaces; however, I plan to get something more sturdy and easier to use for more important photo shoots that require a lot of adjustments to the settings.

    This stand is easy to use. It's useful as a small and medium size tripod. I do wish it were a bit bigger, but then again i suppose I could've bought a larger one. The price is reasonable though.

    This was the most inexpensive tripod in the store. I just needed it to learn to use a tripod. Not the most sturdy, bit good for a beginner. Just don't trust it and walk away from your camera

    I love it, I am new to photography but was excited to take this tripod to our family camping trip to use with my new camera. It was unleveled ground and rocky but it worked great!!!!! Totally loved it. I was able to capture full family pictures with the amazing scenery that look perfect, leveled and straight! I recommend this for everyone not just beginners... The price is great and helps deliver great shots!
