    Very lightweight and small which is what I was looking for. It isn’t the sturdiest material but given the price and the weight it was to be expected.

    My 50" tripod has become an essential tool in my photography arsenal. It's lightweight, easy to set up, and provides sturdy support for my camera. The adjustable height is great for various angles and settings. Whether for outdoor shots or indoor setups, this tripod delivers consistent performance. Great value for its price point.

    Im not really impressed with this. Yes it’s portable and lightweight. It was affordable but it feels cheap and I don’t trust it with my camera. Will definitely be getting a better one

    Works well for travel due to size. Not as rugged as I would prefer but for the money, it got the job done nicely. The top piece comes off to connect to your camera, making attachments quick and easy, which was a major plus. Glad I stopped into the store to see it. It doesn't go as tall as I ideally would like it, but aside from that, it's great.

    We forgot to carry our tripod on our trip, so we went in to Best Buy trying to find something good within a budget. The Sunpak TravelSmart is a great buy for the price. Easy to use, lightweight and stable.

    For the price point it’s not bad for what you get. The build quality feels a bit cheap but it gets the job done. It has the leveler bubbles to get the most in frame shots. Really only recommend if your not tryna spend a bunch and just need your camera up lol

    I tried three tripods, and this one was the worst. One of the plastic knuckles that held the legs extended broke, meaning I couldn't use it at it's full height. Pretty useless, too light, broke fast, couldn't use. I also tried a similarly-priced option from amazonbasic, which was still lightweight, but much better, get that instead for a budget option. In the end though, I went with a much more expensive option, VEO GO 3, which might be overkill but I don't regret it.
