We bought this tripod for our 11 year old daughter to use to take videos of herself as she likes to do pretend newscasts. Instead of needing to track someone down to hold her phone all the time for her, she can now set up the tripod with a number of cameras to use. There are attachments for a iPod/iPhone, a standard video camera and a GoPro. All attach and come off easily. The bendable legs of the tripod are a great feature but I think what I worry will break in the long run as a lot of these tripods do but that is yet to be seen.One last note is that while my daughter was holding this, her little brother somehow fell onto it and part of the locking mechanism broke. I looked at what specifically had snapped to see if I could fix it but it was two plastic clips that snapped clean off. Luckily they have a warranty (3 years I think?) on every part of their tripod and covered the broken apart. Honestly I just needed one small part of the tripod but they sent a full replacement. They also asked for pictures showing what broke so they could use them to further evaluate making the tripod down the road, so that is very assuring.
