This tripod folds up small and light weight and yet extends as tall as I would ever need it. It adjusts way down so I can use it on a table. It is stable enough to hold a phone or camera and stay steady even when extended up to almost six feet and whether or not using the remote. The adjustment clamps are easy to use; I prefer them to the wing nut type adjusters that often are on other tripods. All in all, this is a great tripod and for a really good price. I recommend it.

This is a photography tripod with carbon fiber legs. The tripod comes in a nylon storage bag which measures 21” x 5” in diameter and weighs 4.4 lbs with the ball head attached. The carbon fiber legs are 1.25” in diameter. Fully extended, the tripod can put the base of the camera about 6’ off the ground. The legs can be fully flipped around, enabling you to mount your camera directly at ground level, upside down. The legs each have 4 sections which are adjusted by screw fasteners instead of clips. The height of the center post is also adjusted with a screw fastener. The center post has a hook on the bottom for attaching a ballast weight for increasing stability. The ball head is removeable. It has 3 adjustment screws for rotation, vertical, and horizontal adjustment. It has a removeable quick release plate that is fastened with a thumb screw. The head has 2 bubble levels. One of the 3 legs unscrews to be used as a monopod; it has a silicone grip. Also included in the box are metal spike feet for the legs and a spring-loaded cell phone mount.I like the construction of this tripod. It feels quite sturdy. Sturdy is important for me because I am very rough on tripods. I have a winter research project that involves setting up tripods and moving them around multiple times each day in cold snowy weather. In my hands, tripods typically don’t last more than a season or 2 due to this continual use in poor conditions. This tripod feels more durable than many that I have tried, although it doesn’t have the smooth action that my Manfroto carbon fiber tripod has. In particular, the ball head is a little stiff; I think it might need a small bit of graphite lubrication. I am used to clips on the tripod legs. These screw legs take a little getting used to. While I was figuring them out, I pulled several off by accident and sent one of the shims flying. Fortunately, I was able to get the shim back in place and the leg still works fine. The storage bag is a handy accessory. And I really like that the tripod can hold the camera all the way down at ground level—sometimes I like to take photos at 1 cm above the ground, and few tripods can handle that, especially with a big DSLR. Overall, this tripod is well made and will be more than adequate for most amateur photography uses.

I have three other tripods, and they are a royal PITA. Jerky, stiff, clunky—my panning video shots are all horrible, and I can hear the tripod movement in my videos! I took a chance on this tripod based on the reviews, and despite the unbelievably low price, the action is super smooth and fluid. No more jerkiness or noise in my panning shots! And the tripod is very sturdy and taller than my other three, which is helpful since I’m 6’ tall. I highly recommend this tripod.

I was looking for a decent tripod to support my JVC ProHD camera. The cheap little Amazon Basics tripods I bought last year were just inadequate for that thing. I looked at Manfrotto, and others up into the thousands of dollars, but decided to try this ~$200 one. It seems to be well made. The head appears to be well made. I was able to mount and balance my GYHM620 easily. Pans and tilts are nice and fluid.For the money, I don't think you can beat it. Hopefully it holds up well.

Love love this camera! I was hesitant to spend that much $ on a camera and have it shipped safely to my house, but they exceeded my expectations! Said it wasn’t coming till April 1st but got here March 24th! So excited to use it for vlogging for my YouTube channel. Came with 2 tripods one small and one larger. 2 wristlets, a cannon case, and a card holders, and screen protectors. I know next to nothing about cameras but a few YouTube videos about a few settings and I’m good to go!

I use this thing almost every day with a Dewalt line laser and its fantastic. Bear in mind, its $23 and not comparable to high end fluid tripods but for $23, i dont care if it lasts a year on the job site. The laser i use is kind of heavy and this thing has no problem being stable at max height. the hand crank is great for making minor adjustments, and seems to be of decent build quality for the money. I cant speak to how it works with a camera but its perfect for a jobsite laser tripod! will be buying more of these in the future

Stop messing around with cheap, flimsy tripods and get a good one - like this. It's not too heavy but it is stable. How stable? Stable enough to produce great results with a 500mm (750 equivalent) lens on a Sony a6000. It easily adjusts to about any position one could desire. The ball head is smooth and easy to work with. The included carrying bag is, wonder of wonder, appears to be durable and the unit fits easily in it. It cost a bit more than I wanted to pay, but you do get what you pay for.

Tripods vary in price---a lot---this one is at the lower end but I swear it has features up the wazhoo and I cannot imagine NOT being able to position my camera HOWEVER I fancy. This piece of equipment is so easy to manipulate and configure. Now I just need to mount the actual camera. But I'm super encouraged by all the moving parts. It's got everything you could need. And I wanted short as I plan on shooting jewelry on my kitchen counter.
