    low cost tripod, flimsy, but worked for me

    I bought this tripod to mount my binoculars in order to create a projection viewer of the Great American Eclipse. It was inexpensive, but it worked fine for carrying the 10 pound 10x50 binocs I had. Not the smoothest motion of the swivel arm, but it worked. Worth it for the money and my limited use. But if you are planning to use regularly, for SLR camera with a big lens, or are looking for something to last or be feature rich, you are better off spending more and getting something better.

    Had to get your attention. Well first off it’s good for when you are just starting off videos. I had mine for my YouTube @KobeOhana and it was terrible. You have to make sure that all three legs are even and that is freaking difficult to do. Not stable at all so make sure you don’t bump it because there goes your device. Overall it’s sitting in my dresser and I got a ringlight.

    Convenient and Simple

    A simple, convenient tripod for multipurpose use. I got this for use as a cheap tripod with a laser range-measurement tool, for measuring buildings and interiors. The tripod is mostly plastic, which is exactly what I wanted, since it'll be an indoor/outdoor usage, and it's quite lightweight. If you want this for photography, I would be a little wary depending on your camera, just because it is fairly lightweight and doesn't have a lot of features. There are definitely better, somewhat similarly priced (only 2x usually) tripods that would be more suited to photography. That said, if you were wanting to use this with a simple point and shoot or a small handheld camera, it is a convenient budget-conscious buy.

    We got this for 10.00 and it works. It holds the camera up easy to open up and lock it in place. It can be alittle wobblely if moving camera around. Good for point and shoot better if have remote.

    Good lightweight Tripod for indoor use. So far no issues with my GoPro. Comes with a bubble head and carry case which is +. I will say big no-no for outdoor use, especially windy conditions.

    I bought this tripod to use with an external web camera for wide angle viewing for video conferencing. I was looking for something lighter than than my old 1990 tripod I bought for a heavy video camera. I love that this one is super light, has a level and a snap-on base attachment, so it sets up quickly. One section of one leg will not stay locked, so had to add a layer of packing tape to make it work without collapsing.Just check all the legs before you throw the box away!!!

    We used this on a canon t3 DSLR. It wobbled a little but ultimately stayed steady and level. If your using a big camera I would get a more sturdy one, but for point and shoot and mobility and weight this is a good alternative.

    If you want a flimsy tripod that is light weight and falls apart, then this one is for you. I used it twice and it broke. Sliding the leg extensions is like nails on a chalk board. I can’t wait to bring it back!

    The price was amazing for what you get. However, I use this for my Sony a6300 and it is a little flimsy. Great for travel though as im not worried about breaking it because the price was awesome!

    It's not that sturdy, or that great. If you're using this for anything other than a smartphone, it's not worth it. I picked this up simply to use on the road for work, instead of carrying my big tripod through the airport.
