    I use this with a smart phone for videoing golf swings. It is light weight and very portable. It is plenty stable enough for my use.

    This tripod is much lighter and flimsier than I imagined, but its been good for mounting your phone and filming whatever. It packs away quickly too. I initially got it for my mirrorless camera, but quickly felt like it was too flimsy for it.

    I've had this Tripod for a while and its still holding up pretty strong. I use it for my camera and my iPhone for videos and pictures. I believe its worth the money I purchased it for when I got it.

    This tripod collapses into a nice compact unit, comes with a storage bag and works well. I use it at its lowest profile for work near the ground, but it does just as well on a tabletop to stream live, or fully extended for other work. If you plan to use it with a smartphone, it only comes with the standard camera mount screw, but you can buy a smartphone adapter (which I did) and it works beautifully. Get rid of that old monster size tripod unless you have a really large, heavy camera.

    It’s a little on the cheaply made side, and u need to make sure the leg locks are good and tight, but it’s more than u can expect for the price. Especially when u consider that it comes with a phone mount, and a decent bag to carry it with.

    Bought this to use with a small, lightweight camcorder. Seems strong enough to handle the task. Need something compact to carry in to college football, and other youth sports. Need real smooth head, but good value for the price and should serve my purpose.

    I used it for my proctor exams for college. They have to see my keyboard and myself the whole time so this makes it easier for when they are ultra picky and don’t need to worry my desk isn’t long enough to get the perfect angel. I use the cell phone adapter for it and works amazing. Folds down easily for when I’m not using it. Easy to set up.

    A good practice tripod.

    The tripod is cheap (I paid around $20 for it) and works as a tripod for beginners and people who want to take half-way decent pictures with their cellphone. Treating it as anything else as an entry level product is a bad idea. The build quality is the main reason for this. Fully extended the tripod can wobble around, and with how the thin the parts are, it gives the whole thing a flimsy feel. It should make someone second guess putting a go-pro or an expensive camera (which it claims can be used on the box) on it. Also moving the handle to rotate the camera feels stiff even after a month of use.

    It is great for flat surfaces. Not for hills or grass. One of the legs broke easily and will not slide back in. Great for people wanting to learn how to use a tripod or if you have a class.

    This is a pretty basic, entry level tripod. It's light and easy to travel with. We've been using it with the smartphone attachment so that we can use an app for practicing basketball. So far it has worked well.
