I purchased this simple, inexpensive tripod to use with a game/trail camera (an automated motion detection camera, for taking pix of wildlife). I purchased it on 15 July 2016. The tripod has been outdoors exposed to the elements continually (spring, summer, fall, winter) since that time (I'm writing this review on 6 July 2019). The tripod is undamaged and there are only slight signs of rust on the threads of some of the screws, but no damage that would prevent continued operation. I'm very impressed by the durability of this small item. The tripod has outlived two trail cameras costing 10 times as much (each).Update: 26 December 2021. This amazing $17 tripod continues to operate flawlessly, having spent all but a few hours of the past five years outside and exposed to the elements. The two parts most subject to rust are the return-spring for the mount baseplate retainer and the screw for setting the elevation. I brushed rust from them with a toothbrush and applied a small drop of oil and reassembled everything. I have great admiration for the designer of this inexpensive, effective and durable piece of engineering.

Bought to use with an iPhone 6S. While the spring to attach the holder is more than adequate for holding power the phone holding arms are not strong enough, nor long enough, to hold the phone unless it is out of the case I have it in. Longer “arms” would help.

Only complaint would be the spring holding the phone brackets is too strong, but the compliment would be the spring holds the phone solidly in place.

Simple enough and gets the job done. It actually is lightweight, which is great. Surprised at how long it extends. It is made of cheap plastic, however. A plastic piece came loose from the spring in the part that screws into the camera. I had to carefully disassemble the screws to place that piece back into the spring, then carefully reassemble that part again. Took a bit of time, but it works now. So far, so good. We'll see as time progresses.

My family and I will be traveling for spring break and I was looking for an affordable action camera. The Bravo 4 is it! Light weight and lots of accessories included. I can’t wait to try it out in Costa Rica!

I bought these to get a head start on the seedling's this upcoming spring. I'll update after spring with the results on how good they work or not.

Wasn't expecting a solid product; was pleasantly surprised! loved the adjustable screws instead of a spring to hold the cell in place. adjustable in many configurations. screws into my dynex camera stand. very happy with product.

Have not used in the field but will use this spring
