    Lower quality than expected. Feels flimsy. Good for a beginner but if you are serious, pick something sturdier.

    For the price paid, with a 10 dollar rewards I had saved it is an Ok item. I definitely would not buy it at it's regular price. I use it currently but it stay in one spot All the time. I wouldn't use this if I had to move it or modify it constantly. It is not sturdy and feels as if it will break when making adjustments. I will use it as a spare or as a last resort once i purchase an actual better quality Table Top Stand in which I should have invested the little it cost because of my rewards to get a better quality tripod. Very flimsy, the only reason I give a one instead of a no stars rating is because of what it cost after my rewards discount, around 10 dollars. But honestly should have saved my rewards and bought a better product. Just my opinion.

    You get what you pay for. This works well but feels cheap/plasticy. It’s extremely light, which is both a benefit and a risk. It’s very easy to transport, but it wasn’t stable enough when shooting extended exposures in any wind.

    The tripod works well for my needs, which is just to mount my webcam to for when i need to present using the whiteboard in my office. I would say it would be fine for lighter cameras and phones, but some of the more heavy duty ones may be a little heavy for this tripod. Overall, especially for the price, im happy with this tripod.

    It's good for its price, the top part can be dull out through time of twisting in and out of the adaptable. The stand is sturdy and I wish I came with a remote.
