JOILCAN Tripod Camera Tripods, 74" Tripod for Camera Phone Video Recording, Heavy Duty Camera Tripod Stand, Professional Travel DSLR Tripods Compatible with Canon iPhone, Max Load 15 LB

Really happy with this tripod. It feels solid and well-built, but still lightweight enough to carry around easily. The height is impressive—it extends higher than most tripods in this price range, which is great for getting overhead or eye-level shots without much hassle.The ball head moves smoothly and locks in place securely. Setup and adjustments are quick and straightforward, and it holds my camera steady with no wobble. The carrying case is a nice bonus too.Overall, it’s a great value for the features you get. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly tripod.

Decent quality for the price. I appreciate how it comes with 2 mounting plates and a cellphone bracket. Light-duty usage is what this tripod is all about, especially when it's fully extended to the 74" height... The telescopic legs do get rather thin when fully extended, but still pretty solid. There is a bubble level which can be used for gross measurement. I'm very happy with this device.

This tripod is fantastic! It’s sturdy, lightweight, and easy to set up, making it perfect for both photography and videography. The adjustable height and swivel head allow for precise positioning, and it’s super stable, even in windy conditions. I love how compact it is when folded, making it easy to transport. The build quality is excellent, and it holds my camera securely. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this tripod offers great value and performance. Highly recommend!

I have used other more expensive and more metal component (heavier) tripods similar to this one. I had gotten out of my hobby for awhile and have just gotten back into it, so I thought I would try this tripod.First off, for those that have never used a panhead on a tripod, the knobs and levers do certain things.I have seen reviews where people have complained that the "elastic knob" doesn't hold the camera up, it will droop. It's not supposed to. That's not the "tightening screw/lever" for up and down, it's for panning side to side. You will want to pan at different tensions to control the speed of panning without jerkiness, hence the "elastic knob". Also, you might want to set the tripod legs at a certain position that may not be a good direction for the lens. This is where you can loosen the elastic knob, turn the panhead side to side to aim your camera where you want to, then tighten it down to hold it from moving side to side. The legs stay where they were, on uneven ground where you might have uneven leg extensions so that the tripod is level for panning this is very helpful to not have to move the whole tripod itself and just move the panhead on top.The long thin handle that comes uninstalled screws into the panhead and is what controls the up and down of the camera/lens, that will tighten more than enough to hold any dSLR and lens combo without drooping. The handle is long and thin so you have something to grab and position the up/down of the camera/lens and then just twist to tighten to hold your position. Very useful design.I advise people that have never used a panhead on a tripod to do a quick google search to know exactly how they work, I'm sure you will be pleased with this tripod after having learned how to use it properly.The tripod itself. Lightweight, good. Height, good. Sturdiness, ok. But, it does have a hook under the panhead that you can hang your camera bag or anything else on, and that WILL add a bunch of stability to it. So, definitely not a drawback.Maybe a bit too much plastic (lightweight), so be careful over tightening things, not necessary to do that, either. Also, I wouldn't advise being too rough with it. That doesn't mean it's not a good tripod, I think it is. But, it is a lightweight one with a bit more plastic than a high end professional one would have, and it is at a very attractive price point. So be aware that plastic breaks easier than metal (duh, right?).The quick release plates are a nice add-on, I have used them before. They make it easy to remove the camera for various reasons while using the tripod, but I don't leave them on the camera when I am not using the tripod, I take them off. You'll understand why after using it a few times.All in all, after having used high end tripods with panheads in the past and this one now, I think it is a very good tripod at this price point, hard to beat. I do like the compact and lightweight aspect of it. I have only just received it, so if anything changes with repeated use I will update this review.EDIT: I should mention, as to the stability, I never extend the smallest, bottom legs on any tripod, regardless of how heavy duty it is unless I have to, which I almost never need to do. I'll extend the post the panhead sits on before I extend those bottom legs.The reason for this becomes obvious once you put regular use on a tripod with any height to it. It is the biggest contributor to instability on any tripod, keep 'em closed up unless you absolutely need to use them, then just be aware of how much more unstable those legs are going to make the tripod, any tripod.

Works great! Easy to setup and takedown. Very stable, well made, and not overpriced. This would work for someone sitting on the ground, to someone 7ft tall.

I love this tripod. I recently broke my other tripod by another company and I was very concerned about which tripod to buy next because i do see a lot of good reviews and bad ones on a lot of the options of tripods I was looking at but I am extremely pleased by this one so far the best quality and tightness when it comes to turning or rotating it a certain angle and for the size it is really perfect and tall. Easy to use and it comes with a lot of attachments plus a wireless remote so you can take pictures easily just by a click of a button instead of trying to press the button on your phone or if your using it to take pictures from distance the device can be held in your palm. You will not go wrong with this product. Definitely recommend

This is a sturdy and smooth operating tripod. The plastic parts at the camera mount point aren't squeaky and move smoothly. Comes with 2 mount plates and a phone mount. The plastic leg clamps will likely get brittle over time, but everything works great out of the box. I'd buy it again and recommend to a friend. Happy with the purchase!

This is a good basic tripod, but after a few months of use some issues do stand out.The good: the legs and feet are heavy enough and grippy enough that you can utilize the tripod in a myriad of environments without much concern. The hook on the bottom of the center shaft allows you to utilize weights, or small sand bags for extra stabilization and stability. Not terribly heavy for lugging around sports arenas or photo shoots near trailheads. I wouldn't carry this into the great outdoors for a long period though.The bad: Using for videography is almost out of the question. The center shaft is plastic, with plastic gears, notches, and handles and they are unlikely to last much longer. My primary use is videography in rinks and arenas for kids sports. Utilizing the crank shaft for vertical shots has almost completely worn out after 4 or so months of use. The tilt aspect of the mount is loose and makes for shaky tracking. I bought a gimble to eliminate these issues, but still worth mentioning.Overall I feel like I got my money's worth out of it, but for anything more than just basic photography or videoing I would look at spending more for a higher quality tripod.
