affordable expansion, but look for better from the brand
Product arrived timely and works as advertised. I would have only went with a similar product/same brand however this one was discounted. Easy to install into mobile phone and makes a difference in overall phone ability meaning much greater movies, streaming, music, and work capability I recommend this product or the same brand but a better offering. -T

Great for adding movement from a tripod.
Pros-Rollers are big and make for very smooth movements.-Tripod legs are held securely by heavy duty knob/groove setup.-Collapses to a very small form factor and also has a handle.Con (not really even a con)-Takes a minute to get the legs evenly extended to fit into the grooves. Very minor “issue”. Just something to consider (if you’ve got a tripod dedicated, either leave legs extended or put some markers on them so you know where to extend them to in moments where you need to setup quickly).OverallI bought this to add some flexibility to (mainly) first dance footage for weddings. Often, I’m forced to move one or both tripods partway through for whatever reason, and it’d be nice to simply glide to a different position while still getting usable footage of the couple dancing. It’d also allow me to get some dynamic moving shots without leaving it on sticks while I run and get the gimbal. Just adds another option for a guy who often shoots a wedding film solo.

Durable and highly functional fluid head from SMAL
SmallRig might not be a 'household name' among the general public but they're earning a solid rep among content creators for making highly functional, well made and durable products at a very reasonable price point. I've got quite a few pieces of SmallRig equipment including lights and microphones and they've all been excellent. Not a big surprise that their photography/video equipment is equally as solid.In addition to being very well made and durable, this unit is extremely versatile. It offers quick mode switching by supporting two different types of quick release plates. The head moves like a dream and can swivel 360 degrees and also has a wide range of tilt. Pan and tilt movements are silky smooth. A typically creative and useful Smallrig touch is an Allen wrench hidden in the quick release plate. There's no limit to what you can do with this--you've got a 3/8" hole at the bottom to attach to tripods and similar equipment. There's also three 1/4" holes to attach other devices. Just a very well made and useful device at an excellent value price point. Another great Smallrig product that is easy to recommend emphatically!

Great ring light and tripod for video conferencing
I have several other UBeesize tripods and I have been satisfied with all of them. Their customer service is excellent and works to resolve any issues. This particular tripod is the same quality as the others, lightweight but sturdy. The ring light works very well. Do note that you have to plug it in to an outlet. It is not battery powered. It is very bright with several brightness settings. The light magically flatters your face like a filter, as ring lights are meant to do. I have also used the light next to my computer to brighten my face while I am on a video conference call and I cannot get the room bright enough. It is nice and portable that way. My only concern was the size of the phone holder. My smaller iPhone fits perfectly with no issue. My larger Android Samsung S9 with an Otterbox was a tight fit, but it did fit inside the right (see my pictures). Again, this is a mild complaint, since it is me that chose the huge phone. To solve this, I will just put the phone on its own UBeesize tripod next to the light. Not a big deal. I would recommend this product.

Astonishingly good value
I bought this tripod expecting it to be a "good enough" product for the low price. The height was important to me, but - other than that - as long as it held my camera, I expected to be happy.When it arrived, the quality was far better than I'd expected. It's sturdy, and includes lots of ways to adjust the angle (and height) of the tripod, to get that "just so" photo or video.In addition, I'm using it with a wooden box designed as a portable (plein air) easel. That's one reason I needed a tripod with a good, tall option. And, I hoped it'd be sturdy enough to support the box, my paints, my brushes, my palette, and a medium-small canvas.This tripod is a winner on all counts, and delivers everything I needed... and more.I'd expected to buy this and - when I planned to take more photos/videos - buy something more expensive (figuring a pricier tripod would be better quality).Now, I have no reason to replace this tripod. The quality is easily as good as tripods I've paid two or three times more for, and I expect this one to last at least as long as they did.

Very sturdy stand!
This product was a pleasure to review! This is now the sturdiest desktop webcam stand I own! This stand is heavy & solid and easy to assemble. No tools needed. The stand is extensible to a surprisingly height! On a desktop, the stand can go over the height of your head if you are sitting down.I was interested in this stand because I want to have more flexibility with the placement of my webcam. Up to now, I always had to put my webcam on a monitor or jury-rig one of my other desktop tripods. But this metallic stand is wat better than any desktop tripod I have. I don't have to deal with the annoying legs.Although I am using this stand as a webcam holder, with the right attachment, I think you can mount your phone, tablet, or even a DSLR camera. It just seems that strong and durable to me.If I had one criticism, I had a tough time extending the pole because it was tight. But that is a very minor gripe in the big scheme of things. I am absolutely thrilled to have this stand as part of my gear collection.

This Tripod rivals those at twice the cost+
The media could not be loaded.
It pans seamlessly in XYZ direction in one fluid movement, and can be locked into position very easily with the turn of two knobs. The quick release is great for quick attachment. I am extremely satisfied with my new Cayer Tripod. Aside from it's closed size & weight I wouldn't want it any different (a bit large & hefty - but necessary for stillness). I'll hardly use it in transit so that doesn't affect me much. It is more than I expected and hoped for. I'm sure it's fine for heavier units including video cams. It is so very easy to adjust the height on the fly. It rivals and exceeds the quality of fluid head tripods in it's price range! Amazing! I'll use it predominantly for birding photos. It's perfect. I'll post the very first photo & video I took with an iPhone 6 through a spotting scope (RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX in 5 minutes). The photo is of a female brown-headed cowbird from 30 yards+ and the video of the mourning dove is from 25 yards in HIGH WIND!

MUST BUY
This camera is a must-buy, especially if you have lots of video meetings for work and school. The camera quality is great, and for under $20 this has to be the best budget webcam I've seen. Its ready to use right out of the box without any software or downloads required. All you have to do is plug it in and boom its all set up. And while I came looking for the camera, I was pleasantly surprised to see it also comes equipped with a nice sounding built in microphone, making it easy for me to join meetings without having to have earbuds for headphones on just to use the microphone.Other than the microphone and the camera itself here are a few of the other notable things about this camera.TheWebcam came well packaged and had very fast delivery.Along with the normal clip for monitors and laptops, it comes with a tripod but also has a universal mount on the bottom making it easy to use other mounts and tripods if you wish to do so.As I said earlier this camera is better than every other camera in its price range, I even think it could compete with cameras double its price.

Metal tubes and some knobs and locks... however...
I am not sure anymore if the item I received is brand new or a returned item. See pictures.The tripod itslef is sturdy and has a good weight to avoid being blown away by the wind.The included phone mount is nice since I will be mostly using the tripod for my Samsung Note 10 Plus. See picture on how the phone mount looks like with a phone on it. I attached my old Apple iPhone 11 Pro (on a rugged phone case) on the phone mount. Works fine.Quality control needs improvement or maybe I received a used item/returned item reason it shows some blemishes. See pictures.Lightweight? You do not want a lightweight tripod. Tripods are supposed to be heavy to avoid being easily tipped over. You will want a heavy tripod. This is not that heavy but I think has just enough weight.Improvement in quality control and better marketing would make this tripod overtake the competition against known name brands; although I am thinking that big name brands are juar buying items from tripod manufacturers and just doing private labeling.
