    Great. Sturdy. And I love that I can use for any angle at any height. Great product for a great price. Make sure you pick through it, there are detachable pieces that come in handy!

    Very sturdy, I like it very much, I haven't tried it out in nature yet to see how it handles uneven terrain but for at the house it was very nice.

    This thing is an amazing little tripod. It was waaaaaaaaay more affordable than most its counterparts while still serving the same functionality one would need.

    We have had our Tri-pod for 3 weeks. We used it 3 times and it is very flimsy and one leg already bent. Going to try to return and buy a better quality product.

    Subject says it all. I am using it for a laser level for my home improvement projects and love that the laser can be kept away from the work area due to this tripod.

    This tripod is a bit on the light side, when trying to follow/rotate a camera, the entire tripod spins and you lose its levelness and balance.

    The tripod works but seems very flimsy. My son bought it for a school project and I have to continually check it for him as parts become loose etc.

    This product is alright if you're willing to take the time to mess with it. It broke a small stabilizing piece of my camera the first time I used it, and is hard screw the camera on and off.

    Bought this in an emergency for a small Sony camera. It does it job to keep the camera still while recording. Now I’m using it to hold an iPad to watch videos. Very basic, the good thing is that there is a cell phone holder included.

    This tripod is good enough for a phone but I wouldn't depend on it when using a mirrorless/dslr camera. It's just not sturdy enough for a real camera.

    Missing parts, the box was opened before and for the quarantine it’s almost impossible to return an item I prefer not going out so decided to keep it, this Tripod was the worst buy I made, it’s so weak that can’t hold a phone or even a camera, you can’t even turn side to side because it’s so hard to use or record and I can continue but won’t, if it was less than 1 star i will give it

    Honestly not great but I guess you get what you pay. In about a week it was falling apart, I am going to try to go and return it or exchange it.

    More ideal for phones. I tried to use this for a portable projector but it couldn't handle the weight so much/ Does the job but barely.

    I used it in Costa Rica but it had trouble pretty much staying in place. I could see it for better use as a stationary tripod in a portrait studio

    It's got three legs

    Three legs are better than two when it comes to setting up your camera. It has three legs, thus making it a tripod. The Tripod Trilogy were my favorite books as a kid.
