    I purchased 2 for two reasons, to hold cell phone and GoPro. I use them to shoot different angles for video during tree pruning and removal operations, I now need a couple more and because the price is reasonable I can afford to do so. They are a bit flimsy to be rough with, but they will do the job.

    I was looking for a light weight yet durable tripod for some video projects. This tripod works well with multiple camera bodies and I couldn't be happier. It collapses to a reasonable enough size, and I can lash it the outside of my camera bag easily.

    Somewhat average tripod

    Almost using it for about two weeks with a camcorder, this tripod checks all the list. This tripod is flexible, easy to operate, and easy to travel with the tripod. The only caveat with this tripod is that it's little clumsy at full height, the camera movement is not smooth, and the material of the tripod is just an average type. I would recommend this tripod, who those people who barely do photography or videography, for short vacation trip and everyone for casual use of the tripod.

    Good tripod for the money. Little on the flimsy side when the legs are fully extended but no risk of it breaking. I trust my expensive camera on it. The overall height is good. Great for portraits. Easy fold up and comes with a carry bag that is about 18 inches long and less than 3 lbs.

    Super useful smart-phone tripod

    Works as advertised -- my only minor quibbles would be that it is a little difficult to use on larger phones like iPhone 8 Plus -- but it does work on these phones. Just a tight fit -- which, honestly, is better than if it was loose. Also, when fully telescoped, it's about 4 feet high, which again, isn't bad but does mean you need to be careful about framing the shot. Either way, this tripod is a great deal for the money.

    Fits in my backpack easily for taking on mountain hikes. Very light, not that sturdy, so I wouldn't use it in high wind, but on nice days its a first choice. Not that tall, so you may end up on a knee to check focus and such, but has done the job well for the price.

    It’s not the sturdiest thing in the world, but for $20.00 it’s about what I expected. It’s easy to jar it, and even simple adjustments, like horizontal leveling require all your attention. But it works. It’s holding up well so far. But I can certainly see why serious photographers would spend the extra cash for a professional tripod.

    Easy to use. After one year of use, not the most durable tripod for sporting events and frequent travel. Legs are bending and clamps not holding entire event. Great for a beginner or someone that will only use it on occasion.
