I got this up grade and it is just what I thought it would be sturdy, quick release head and locks into to all angles for my needs.

This was perfect for my FB live and IG live videos. Love that you can select different colored lighting which works awesome for TikTok and reels too.

Great *compact* tripod. Some people complain this is the 'worst' tripod, etc. I believe they made the mistake of using this as a heavy-duty tripod for heavy-duty purposes. This is a *compact* tripod, and in my experience, for compact work.I love the light weight and size which fits perfectly in a Pelican case, backpack, or strapped on the side of my backpack-camera bag. It makes for an excellent tripod for field hikes and other excursions where carrying a heavy-duty tripod will hold you back.I use my Canon DLSR on it. I also use it with the Canon DLSR with an attached battery grip. A feeling of insecurity takes over when using the battery grip, but the tripod proves sturdy. I do not fully extend the tripod to its near 6ft height, which will be unstable when using extra weight.I also use this tripod in heavy-duty work: when using my main tripod, I'll sometimes use this one to attach an LED light or my RODE VideoMicPro (using a screw adapter).Great overall tripod. However, I wish I had saved the extra ten bucks to buy the Dolica ultra-compact (http://amzn.to/1qfXzdH) which has a removable ball head and quick release plate. But this serves my purposes fine until its death :)

I'm really liking Ulanzi's product line.so much to choose from.As for this 16" tripod, I wish the pull out legs were tighter. This concerns me if I were to use it outdoors on a windy day.Overall, its very comfortable to hold & the 16" fits in my bag perfectly.

This tripod is versatile. Its ability to reach up to 80+ inches allows for shots that are unattainable with other tripods. Even at the max height, the tripod was stable. There was no worry about the wind knocking over. There is a hook to add more weight if stability is a concern.Converting it to a monopole is as simple as twisting off the leg.I would recommend this tripod to a friend

At first the First one didn’t work properly but after finally getting in contact with the Company, a new one was sent also with tools this time to fix the screws/hinges. I can’t remember if the first one did but it’s a good tripod & it definitely is better then a $20-$35 Tripod.Just make sure to keep the tools it comes with.

Awesome! FYI phone holder is the tricky tension style tho. But my good one fits.

I am very pleased with this product. It sets up easy and all parts work great.
