    It was a lighter weight than I wanted, but it is just as well because I intend to take it with me. It would be especially good for backpacking. It is easy to use, didn't need instructions. I was disappointed with chat. I asked specifically if it held 7" tablet. They told me yes. They were wrong. I had to buy a tablet adapter.

    You are not buying a quality tripod. it won't last very long. it looks better in photo than in person. the legs that extend are very very very very very weak. This tripod will not last long. But it served its purpose for me. The phone holder adapter has already broken on mine after one use.

    This is a nice lightweight tripod, perfect for cellphone and GoPro use. Not as strong and durable when using heavier cameras. I DO NOT recommend using this tripod in high wind areas.

    What the box and Best Buy don't tell you is this comes with a Smartphone mount. So I was able to use this with both my DSLR, but also with my Smartphone (not at the same time). Good value.

    Just getting into photography, this lightweight tripod is a great purchase. Low price, reasonably sturdy and quite light. Camera just clamps in, easy to adjust for level.

    It’s a tripod that’s $20.00. So there is nothing fancy about it but, this is great for a beginner. The tripod extends 4.5ft, come with both GoPro mount, and a cell phone mount which is nice when my go to camera is charging. I would recommend to someone who is starting out. Good buy.

    Decent tripod for the price

    It is a decent tripod for the price, however it is a bit flimsy when fully extended. The legs and feet are smaller than I expected them to be. I'm not sure if I would trust it to support my DSLR with heavier lenses attached, but for a smart phone or digital camera, I think this would be great. I had intended on returning it but forgot to, so I'll just have to make sure I keep the lanyard around my neck while using it. Also, I didn't think the height would be a problem but I realized quickly that continuously crouching gets old quick. If you're starting out and a shorter person, this would be a good tripod for a beginner. Just be careful not to put too much weight on it.

    It does what it is supposed to do at a good price. I got this at the last minute when my daughter’s wedding venue had to be changed from Cabo to a small, family only venue, due to COVID-19. It did a great job at the last minute, and at a great price.

    This product was easy to use. It assembled right out of the box. I'm 5 feet 9 inches so it was able to hold the camera up high enough to see my face.

    Worked perfect for what I needed on the go, would prefer it be made with a slightly stronger design as I feel it will eventually break down, but will likely get a few years out of it.

    I was looking for a simple stand that wasn’t too pricey and easy to access. I have a more professional stand but is sometimes too bulky for a quick on the go. This does the job!

    You get what you pay for. It’s lightweight, pretty compact, and easy to use. The phone attachment won’t fit my iPhone 11 with my case on but that’s fine. I bought it for my camera not my iPhone.
