I bought this tripod for a photography class. Used it a few times and the mount broke away from the center column. Normally that would have been maybe 1 or 2 stars. After not using for a while i reached to Sunpak. I sent them pictures of the tripod. I was very surprised to hear from them. They requested for me to send the tripod to them and they replaced it under warranty. Now i have a brand new tripod. Probably wouldn't recommend using it with a DSLR camera, however it us very functional for smaller cameras.

I bought this model so I had a lighter weight tripod available. So far so good. I am worried about the sturdiness over time, however for the price it works great.

Good price! You can adjust it at any height and it is super easy to manage and save it in its bag. It doesn’t occupy to much space.

I bought this without much research after I discovered I was missing a part to one I already owned right before taking family Christmas pictures. I was surprised at how lightweight this was. The other surprise was the cell phone holder. I used the tripod several times over the holidays to take larger group pictures with my cell phone. Easy to attach phone or dslr camera.

I purchased the tripods to hold cellphones for a student video performance. They are not the most sturdy construction the aluminum frames are very thin. They were also the cheapest option- so it makes sense. They will probably work for this adventure but in the hands of teenagers their days are numbered. They did work and the did hold up the IPhone 8+ with a battery pack with no problem.

This is really light weight. Fights in a backpack perfectly. It’s a little flemsy... but it’s expected because it is so lightweight.

Lightweight...may not last a long time. It's a little flimsy. But I needed something that would fit in my suitcase. It'll be good for a couple of trips.

So I do enjoy this tripod. I use it to put into a small backpack and take pictures on trails and stuff when dirt biking, hiking and what not. It is light, and perfect for that. It is really weak though. I feel like I am going to break it everytime I pull it out. Feels weak, and flimsy. Great for having a tripod when space and weight are a concern. Not sad I bought it, but I will probably get a better one when I am not needing to pack it in.

I bought this tripod to use with my phone. It's lightweight, yet sturdy enough to trust it with my phone and it came with a phone adapter. It would be good to take when you travel or out to the park or where ever you want to shoot photos or videos with your phone. I am not sure that I would trust this with an expensive camera though. It's too light for that.

It does what is required, but is very lightweight. IT does come with a carrying case, which is easy to sling over a shoulder.
I was a bit concerned that I would knock it over if I bumped it, but I had no problems using it for a small shoot of my products. I think it would work well for a hike or other photography where portability was key. I did not have another tripod, and I have not tried it with my phone as yet, although it does come with a phone holder.

It hold my phone or camera and gets the job done. It’s not the most stable but so long as you don’t kick the tripod it stands perfectly. The rubber part on the phone extension broke off days after purchasing. Didn’t really need that part so it wasn’t a huge deal but it was poorly made. Get what you pay for.
