    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.

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

    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.

    I purchased this tripod thinking that the interior telescoping legs were aluminum, they are plastic, which weakens the stability. However, for indoor use it is worth the money.

    It's a pretty good tripod I love all the different angles that you can use it for so many angels that can be held steadily. I would give it five stars except it's just somewhere a little bit too lightweight which makes me wonder how long will this last if it's traveling with me.

    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.

    easy to carry, light, and perfect for traveling or hiking, holds an iphone too, but a little bit short for me. Not ideal if taking videos for say a wedding coverage, since it is only 5 feet. it can hold a canon 2000D or T7, so overall pretty good.
