    Don't waste your money! This tripod broke the first time I tried to use it! part that connects the smart phone holder to the tripod snapped right off! I was forced to hold my phone in my hand for the rest of the soccer tournament to video the game for parents that weren't able to attend the game due to Covid 19 restrictions. Luckily I was still able to return it to Best Buy for a full refund.

    Product is ok, not that great. The quality of the case/holder is not great and it might slip the phone or can cause scratches on the sides of the phone

    This tripod is horrible. It is flimsy and it fell over using the phone attachment. I was also led to believe it would be taller than it turned out to be. I know there are better tripods out there. I wouldn't trust this tripod to hold my camera, and I don't think it would last someone more than six months with heavy use. There is better out there so get that instead.

    I purchased this tripod for the price. The build feels kinda flimsy so be careful using it. At some point I’ll buy a better one but the works for now.
