First thing first: I haven’t had time to use this a whole lot yet. I bought it for my upcoming vacation, which starts next week. So I will update afterwards, if I have any change in opinion.You definitely get your money’s worth with this tripod. All of the accessories that it comes with, really make it that little bit more worth your purchase. I had, until this point, never been interested in one of these smaller, adjustable tripods. I have always used standard sized ones. However, I’m glad I finally decided to get one of these. Its flexibility and portability are fantastic. It holds my iPhone 7 Plus well and safely, as well as my GoPro. It is also extremely easy and straightforward to set up and adjust.It is not made of the most sturdy, or durable materials, but what did you really expect from a tripod at such an affordable price? It does what it is designed to do, and it does it well. From what I have read as well, the company is very good and professional should you experience any issues. Definitely a worthy purchase for a beginner, or someone who enjoys taking photos and videos, and making them look as nice and professional as possible, but who isn’t serious enough to the point where they are willing to splash a load of cash on equipment. If you have been hesitant up until now - just give it a try. I bet you will be impressed.
