4 starts based off other tripods in this price range. I've shot video professionally and personally for years. I've used $5k tripods and $50 tripods so here is my two cents. I was using this on my canon 70d with a 70-200mm f2.8 mounting the tripod to the lens.PROS:All the components fit snug together with very little play when locked down. The screws turned nicely and it was easy to adjustThe fluid head resistance is not adjustable (only expensive heads do this) however it is very consistent from when it first engages to the release. This makes it easy to start and stop your camera moveTripod gets SUPER tall. Perfect for shooting over peoples heads if your in a crowded space.Rubber plug in the tripod plate allows you to remove or alter the screws if needed to fit a specific mount or lensCONS: (Take these with a grain of salt. This is a low cost tripod)My biggest complain is how the tripod attaches to the head. There is a screw that tightens into the head and there is a rubberized/textured plate however a quick move with the tripod unscrews the head. This is super annoying as the resistance of the head is a lot and continually unscrews the head. I fixed this (mostly) by using a large wrench pliers to really tighten the head down.When extending the neck of the tripod (red ring under the head) you really need to tighten it down or there is a slight jerk every time you move left or right. There is a groove in the extension and there is a little bit of play when it moves left/right. Again if you really crank it down it goes away.The legs of the tripod do not lock out. The be clear they lock during extending but not when you are setting your base. It's nice for a run and gun setup where you want to move quickly as lifting up on the neck of the tripod all the legs fold in however it can create some shifting and uneven shots if one of your legs it not fully out. There are 3 spots where you can set the angle of your leg spread however these reset when the legs fold back in.Personally I think the resistance of the head makes the monopod function useless for video however I only typically shoot this way so it might just be me. I do like it for shooting still images though.Even after all the small issues I would still recommend this for casual video shooting. Personally I found starting on a cheaper tripod help enhance my skills and made it easier when using a more expensive one. If you have extra money and shoot video often (or for money) I would recommend investing in something better. It will save you time and money in post.

I love these little phone holders. I use them on several tripods, and one outside for my camera on the roof to time-lapse my yardwork. Although it's super fast to change them out, I figured I'd get a few more just to leave in place where I use them most. And because I rarely shoot vertically, I love that you can unscrew the base from the swivel part, and JUST USE the clamping part since it also has a 1/4" screw opening.AWESOME product!! I came back for more, but I only paid six . nine nine for it, I can't believe it's up to fourteen. :-o I'll order about 3 more when the price drops. These are great to have on hand and grip my large clunky phone case MUCH better than the spring-loaded kind on selfie sticks.

It is a great little unit if you are looking for something to mount a small camera. Things like a Logitech video camera for your laptop or a Gopro camera would be excellent for this mount. Anything bigger would not be stable at all.Other tripods I have used have longer legs but the legs spread out a lot further. So the legs are wider apart and the whole unit is lower than this thing. This unit sits higher and the legs aren't as wide apart leading to it being much more unstable.It seems fine for a small camera with almost no weight and only if it is on a very flat, level surface.It is definitely very light and if you have limited space to place the tripod, the small footprint when legs are open is a good feature.I'll probably use it for placing my Gopro camera on my desk or some other flat surface.

I have found Ubeesize products to generally be great! A few of friends also use a selection of Ubeesize products. I have a table sized tripod which is so convenient and bendable, that I bring it everywhere! So brand wise, I'm quite happy with Ubeesize and trust their quality of products.For this tripod in particular, the height that it goes up to is just wow! i'm pretty tall, so that was a bonus. It's very simple to use, easy to setup and is great value to provide the lighting that one would need. The only criticisms I have are that you have to unscrew/screw to lock your phone, and the tripod isn't as sturdy as I'd like it to be. I prefer tripods that stretch out like a pyramid! But other than that, it's a good product and I would continue to recommend Ubeesize brands of products to family and friends!

Opening this up was quite a bit of work, not that it was difficult but there was so much to go through, attachments for helmets, tripods, chest mounts, you name it it was there. At a price point of $65 US the quality is awesome. What really earned the review though wasn't the quality itself but the support staff of the company. I initially purchased this as a webcam for livestreaming as a cheap alternative to name brands like Logitech. Out of the box, that's a no go but with a firmware update that couldn't be easier to install it worked right away. Customer support from COOAU was quick to respond even considering the major timezone difference. I want to thank my rep, Amber personally who helped me deploy the update quickly and efficiently. Be aware though that this camera comes with two micro USB cables, one is solely for charging and the second, shorter one is for data transfer and use with the webcam mode. Delivery was quick, use is easy, and quality is insane for this price point, I definitely wouldn't pass this company up on the great deal.

I got this tripod at a local store.Pros: - incredibly stable, and you can add weight (includes stone bag) to make it even more so - Pivoting and rotating center column gives you the ability to take unique shots and easily take macros - feet can either be sort and rubbery or have spike tip, which allows you to shoot at a variety of locations - includes extra mount plate, which is always a bonus - includes carrying caseCons: - is a bit heavy, but you kind of expect that for a tripod in this class - legs can only lock in two angled positionsI am glad I bought this tripod. It's a bit expensive, but I got sick of buying the cheaper tripods that would either wear out on me or weren't stable enough. I would recommend that you purchase this if you are considering an all-around tripod and aren't worried about the weight.

I purchased this tripod to hold a spotting scope at shooting matches and practice at the rifle range. I'm honestly impressed, especially with the price and simple features. I've seen tripods at sporting good stores that easily cost twice as much and are exactly the same thing.The tripod folds up and is stored neatly in an included case. The case is fine for transport and carrying around, but if you're flying on a plane or transporting it somewhere it might get dropped or have other items dropped on it, I'd say get something more substantial. A little waterproofing and the bag should be just fine outdoors in the rain.The hook down the center is large enough to use with a rope and tent stake to secure it to the ground if need be, or to hang a little weight to help secure it a bit more. There are several level bubbles at the right places to ensure you're working flat, even on a hill or downward slope. The feet are rubber and they do pivot and angle around a bit. The legs are easily adjustable and pretty standard for most of your tripods. The locks all seem sturdy enough for every day use and are easily to adjust. The hand crank for elevation is smooth and locks nicely. The removable mounting pad is just fine and locks into and out of place easily. I'm a tall guy and weather I'm standing or sitting, this works nicely and comfortably all around.This tripod is not heavy, so I'm not sure if that's a pro or a con for your needs, but for me, it's perfect for taking to matches, especially if I'm moving around a lot. Almost every piece of this tripod is plastic so I'd strongly suggest your don't over-tighten things. When it stops tightening, stop right where you are. The legs are obviously aluminum, and there are rubber grips on a few areas. For the price, I'd buy another one of these without hesitation. Nice tripod that goes to 60 inches quickly and easily.

This adds dolly wheels to your tripod, you can use it for rolling dolly shots or just to make it easier to move a tripod, light stand or anything else with 3 legs. It opens and folds easily and is a pretty small light package when closed up making it very easy to carry between shoots. At maximum extension the legs of the tripod will be about 30 inches apart. If your tripod has legs that are farther apart, most tripods will let you move them closer with very little loss in stability. The leg clamps on this dolly open several inches so they can securely hold a tripod with fat feet. Each of the wheels can be locked and unlocked by stepping on a lever and it comes with a lightweight carrying bag. The maximum load on this dolly is about 33 pounds, the design has some flex in it so you probably shouldn't exceed that load (don't sit on it). Calling it a "heavy duty" dolly in the product description is kind of misleading.Before I go any farther, I should say that as a dolly this has some serious limitations. But I think FOR THE PRICE it is a five star piece of gear. A heavy duty professional camera dolly would cost you at least several times more and could cost hundreds, so if you are ok with this one's limits, you can't do better for the price.So what are the limits? First off with only a 30 inch stance and 33 pound load limit, this is only suitable for lighter loads and those loads should be well balanced over the center of the dolly, no using this for long jib arms or light stands with long unbalanced arms. The second limit is that the wheels are only 2 inches around with hard rubber treads. They will roll fairly smoothly on a flat floor but there is not enough give in the wheels to soak up bumps, smooth out rough surfaces or roll over cables. These wheels will roll fairly well over low pile carpet also, but not as smoothly as on a flat floor. The 33 pound weight limit will prevent you from throwing on a sandbag or two to make movement slower and smoother or to stabilize unbalanced loads.If you have nice smooth floors and a lightweight rig, you should be able to pull off a dolly video shot with this. However for this type of dolly I think the main use it is to make it easy and quick to move your tripods around. If you have these on your camera tripods or light stands you will be able to rearrange them a lot easier which is great for quickly changing your setup to get a lot of different angles.So basically, if you stay within this dolly's limitations it should work great for you. Higher end video dollies usually look very similar to this, but carry much heavier loads, and have bigger and softer wheels for smooth rolling over rough surfaces, but they also come with a MUCH higher price tag. So if you don't need those extra capabilities, why pay for them, buy this dolly instead, for the price you can't beat it.
