    Needed a basic trip for zoom recording while out of town. Wished it could have been more on the sturdy side but overall it did its job for the price. Kinda flimsy. Came with cloth carrying bag.

    The phone attachment has an open back which is great for the ring on the back of my phone case. However the attachment doesnt screw in all the way and the phone wobbles around because of that and it feel like I'm going to pop off the attachment every time I put my phone in. I will be returning this.

    I bought this tripod while on vacation as a last minute need. It was at a crazy good price and in stock so I grabbed it. This tripod had all of the nice features from lever locking legs, video style pan head, a telescoping center column and a bubble level. It was super lightweight and came with a carrying pouch. The tripod also included a camera mount along with a GoPro attachment. I would not recommend this tripod for a DSLR or standard sized mirrorless camera and interchangeable lens. With it only having a 4.4 lb load capacity that will quickly get maxed out with this type of gear. If you need a light weight tripod full of features for use with your phone or GoPro, at a great price, this would be your choice.

    Good Starter Tripod

    Good starter tripod. Relatively easy to use, has a quick release. Adjusting the camera on the tripod takes a little bit of practice. When fully extended, the lowest legs of the tripod are not the sturdiest, but if gentle enough with movements, provide decent stability. Compact enough to fit into a small backpack.

    A Cheap 50"H Tripod - You get what you pay for.

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I needed two tripods for a motorized slider and picked up the Sunpak - TravelSmart 50 Tripods. They are extremely light and cheap (quality and price) 50"H tripods. When I first opened the boxes there was a very strong chemical smell. I threw the boxes away and let the tripods sit outside for half a day and that seemed to take care of the smell. The build quality of the Sunpak - TravelSmart 50 Tripods is very flimsy and I would not trust them with a standard camera like my Canon. For my purpose though (staying in one location, never extended past the leg's apex, and on a level floor) they are working fine. I do not open and collapse them frequently so I do not know how they would hold up over time. They probably would be fine for supporting a smartphone . If someone isn't sure they want to spend more money for a better tripod or they only need one for their smartphone this could be an option. The Sunpak - TravelSmart 50 Tripod is too flimsy for me to recommend them for a regular camera.

    Reasonable priced tripod with several height adjustments, included tote is definitely welcomed, ability to mount several devices highly productive and has adapters to utilize, not as strong when legs fully extended but depends on mounted hardware. Worth the purchase.

    This is a great tripod. I love that its easy to use and I can attach my dslr camera to it and also my iphone 14 promax. I am short so this is the perfect size for me. I find the legs to feel a bit flimsy but they are good if you want something light to carry around.

    Great Lightweight Tripod for Travel— Not Heavy Gr

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the Sunpak TravelSmart 50 Tripod for light travel photography and it's been a reliable, portable option. It’s compact, easy to carry, and sets up in seconds—perfect for quick shots on the go or backpacking trips. It works great with smartphones and smaller cameras, but it does feel a bit loose when I mount heavier DSLR gear. The legs and head aren’t really built for heavy-duty equipment, so you’ll notice a little wobble if you're using a larger lens or body. That said, for lighter setups, it holds steady and does the job well. Overall, it’s a great value for the price—ideal for beginners, mobile content creators, or anyone needing a lightweight backup tripod. Just know its limits when it comes to heavier setups.

    Good Stand

    I would actually give this a 4.5 stars as it is not the best stand; however, for its price it is good. The only issue is the phone holder itself. It is a little weak and requires you to compensate. Once you know this then it works fine. My concern is that it may not last long if using it daily. We will see.

    Great travel tripod for the price

    I needed a small tripod for a trip I was going on, and this did the trick! It's nothing too special, but excellent for the price. The one downside is the screw on the plate isn't very strong, so my camera and lens slowly tilted down over time when I had it rotated in portrait mode. Definitely not built for heavy cameras.
