With a small light-weight snapshot camera, such as a Canon PowerShot, or pocket binoculars mounted, it's stable enough (although I haven't tried it with legs fully extended and I'm not sure it would be so good if used that way). With a separately purchased smartphone adapter, it would also work. Good value if it meets your needs. Don't try it with a DSLR, a typical 35mm film camera or a large binocular. If you have an ancient Leica 35mm rangefinder model (not its bulkier 1950's Russian knockoff), you can enjoy this tripod along with my congratulations.

I read this comprehensive review before purchase and you should too:http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-eos-m/canon-eos-mA.HTMI'm an amatuer photog for more than 40 years. Until recently, my only concession to digital photography was the purchase of inexpensive Canon point-n-shoots. As film photography has become a greater burden and digital has caught up in terms of quality while surpassing in convenience and affordability, my discovery of this little gem at a bargain price was perfect timing. Adding a $15 adapter, I can use may ancient but excellent FD mount Canon lenses - think F1 and AE-1 cameras. Auto-focus speed doesn't matter to me because I still prefer to manually set almost everything. That said, the AF performance of the EOS M seems equivalent to that of my son's Nikon 1.My purchases for my entry into serious digital photography to date include: the EOS M with Speedlite 90EX and EOS M 18-55mm IS lense: an SD card (PNY 64 GB High Speed SDXC Class 10): a spare battery (Opteka LP-E12 LPE12 2000mAh Battery Pack): a lense adapter (Fotasy Canon FD Lens to EOS M Lens); and a neck strap (OP/TECH USA System Connector Super Pro A).

Just received the Canon RF 14-35mm lens this afternoon. My first impressions are that the lens is very lightweight and will be great for both photos as well as videography on a gimbal. 14mm RAW images have a lot of distortion and vignetting, which Adobe will later be correcting with a lens profile, but is not available as of this moment. However, the images are sharp, and at 35mm as seen in the provided sample image, the color and images come out beautiful. Will be updating this review once I have had more time to test the lens, but for now I'm super excited to have this glass in my camera bag, especially for videography with my Canon mirrorless bodies!

Perfect with an adapter for my Canon SX40. Thanks!

Used in conjunction with an adapter on a canon M 50. Ace.

This adapter did the job! I can now use all my Canon, Tamron and Sigma lenses on my new Canon m50.

Although ANY 35mm camera may seem daunting coming from a point and shoot type camera, this one is straight forward. To start out, just leave it in Full Auto mode and get used to it for a while. When you start getting comfortable where all the "bells and whistles" are, you can start getting adventurous. Canon supplies a VERY GOOD manual and it becomes your best friend at first. Yet it only took me a good day or two to really become friends. I had owned a 35 film camera (back in the day) so admittedly it was easier for me, but even novices will find this camera very appealing. The pictures are beautiful (I have the 18-55mm lens package), the colors spot on, focus clean and crisp. I bought the FD/EOS body adapter from Canon and am able to use all my old AE1 lenses, too! It's been a VERY painless transition for me.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone.

works really well and the adapter is perfect for using on your phone and with my Canon T6i.
