 This thing is a gem for a smaller lightweight rig. I tried both a small tripod and a larger pro one for video shoots. With the larger pro tripod I had to remove the rubber feet to get it on that cover the spiked toes, as with the shoes on it was too big & didn't fit.. (see photo) and then the spikes dug a bit into the arm plate. I guess I should put some rubber padding or strips on the spikes..Overall it's great, rolls very smooth, packs away into a neat bag and has a cool carry handle. Could not be happier.

I love this tripod it even expands to like 6 feet but buy something you can put your cell phone in to connect to it

This tripod is awesome. It is light to carry and yet it is very heavy duty in application. it comes with steel points if you want to go sharp shod, but the soft feet that are on it in the package will do for most applications.

Great to have as a tabletop tripod. Sturdy with rubber feet, locking legs and locking sphere. Extension is very tight (which is good).The phone adaptor is really good in that its also very tight. No improvements needed.

Note pictures attached. The circuit board is a power supply driving relays, easy to troubleshoot which circuits are malfunctioning quickly. Other photo is on a very cold day- you can see where my couch is pushed against the window preventing heat from escaping the single pane windows...and the curtains have no insulation effect. I would say easily this device is paying for itself. Battery lasts long enough, and for the smaller picture size (but great resolution for the $), 3 gig is LOTS of room. Transfer to computer is easy, and recharges quickly.

I got this so I could do selfie video and pics for a class. but disappointed that even with a brand new battery, the signal distance is lost at about 2-3 feet and I cannot get a shot at even 5 feet to get a nice video shot required for class from across the room. even at 10 feet. The tripod is lightweight and easy to carry, install, but does tip over and is blown over in the wind if not careful. I did get another attachment for it to hold my iPad and it works great. so I will continue to use it as a tripod stand and just toss the remote blue tooth it is junk.
