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.

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.

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.

It does the job. Cheap enough to not be worth complaining about stability. The legs aren't very weighty, which could be good or bad depending on what you prefer.

For $20 dollars it does what it needs to though it is a bit on the flimsy side. If you're in a pinch and need a light, easy to set up tripod for use on smaller, lighter zoom lenses or primes then this will be good enough. with that being said i would recommend spending the extra 20 or 30 dollars for a sturdier tripod. Wouldn't write home about it, but its JUST good enough.

I bought this to help me film my videos for my business. I couldnt afford something fancier but its honestly helped me with what I need it for. Ive used it for over half a year and only a handful of times have I dealt with it tipping over.

I bought this to take on an Alaskan cruise to hold my monocular steady. It worked wonderfully!! It is very light and it fit in my backpack easily. It was easy to get out and use. I don't think it would do well for a heavy DSLR camera and we did not use it for ours. But, to steady my monocular and get great views....wonderful!!!

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.

I needed a travel tripod that was lighter in weight and easy to carry around. For the price point, the build quality is pretty decent. It does have a sight wobble at times, but what can you expect from a cheaper tripod. If you are on a trip and want to shoot quickly in an urban setting. I would not recommend for nature photography.

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.

Light tripod, ideal for small cameras. It’s not designed to carry a Fuji GFX for example so lower your expectations.

Very lightweight, although seems very cheap. Worried it will break when adjusting. Even the weight of my DSLR causes it to sag and move around

For a small, portable tripod for use with light camera or camcorder, this will fit the bill for the occasional amateur use. Definitely not sturdy enough for heavy equipment or heavy use. Light enough to pack and not put you over the 50 lbs limit/
