Lightweight Tripod 55-Inch, Aluminum Travel/Camera/Phone Tripod with Carry Bag, Maximum Load Capacity 6.6 LB, 1/4" Mounting Screw for Phone, Camera, Traveling, Laser Measure, Laser Level

Garbage. Absolute garbage! Sure, it was only $20, but this piece of crap isn’t even worth $5!I took picture comparing it to my $25 tripod from walmart.The legs are skinny AF and wobble like crazy! Based off of all of the 5 star reviews, it’s very clear that the “customers” were sent free products in exchange for good reviews. 🙄

This was an inexpensive solution for a last minute trip to the mountains for a dark sky event. My real (and much sturdier) Tripod is in storage because we just moved so I got this to have something for night sky shots. It did the trick, though it was not super stable with my heavy DSLR, I was able to make it work. This is a cheap, better than nothing solution to low light photography. I keep in the car now just in case.I like that it also came with the phone adapter which I think would be a lot more stable than a heavy DSLR. Definitely decent for the money.

I was very sceptic purchasing this tripod because of the recent negative reviews but I have come with great news. Being an avid film maker/ photographer- this tripod is for you. I have an iPhone XS Max and the rig I run is a Moment case and a Moment Anamorphic Lens. For the setup I currently have- this tripod is amazing! Very light weight, very easy functionality, and super easy to use for anyone (beginners-experts). I have taken a lot of super cool still shots both video and photos and I do recommend this tripod to anyone. Now I know the price is very low which means the tripod quality isn’t the best but it will definitely last if you take care of it. This tripod is essentially an easy to use phone tripod. You could also potentially use it for an external microphone like the Zoom but I wouldn’t recommend using this tripod for heavier cameras like DSLRs and SLRs. Other than that- this is a beautiful, super easy to use, super simple, tripod for all your needs!

I needed a tri-pod that had a brace to stabilize the three legs, which this model has. However, I realized too late that the adjustment knob that is supposed to keep my mounted still camera from "nodding" during slower shutter speed (I used mainly 30 and 45 speeds when using film) exposures DID NOT WORK. I exposed one roll of film and all photos were blurred and/ or showed camera shake. In short, this tripod is USELESS. I wish I had realized this flaw five months ago when I ordered this model, so that I could return it, but I don't use film with a tripod that often. Lesson learned.

This product is durable, light weight and easy to use. It can go very short and very tall. I bought this to take pictures and film YouTube videos and it works great!

I was completely surprised when this arrived. I was replacing a super cheap 45” tripod with a more appropriate 55” inexpensive one. This was much higher quality and more solid than my other, especially considering the low price. It is very convenient and exactly what I need.

(UPDATED) I purchased this admittedly-economical tripod (to use with Smart Phones for videoing) because it was rated at 6 pounds, just in case I needed a back up (for an admittedly far more expensive, sturdier tripod) to hold a traditional DSLR. I remain very pleasantly surprised by (i) delivery speed, (ii) the product arrived as described, and (iii) the prompt response by customer service following my initial review.After using the tripod (for IPhone videoing), here are my updated impressions: It works well holding IPhone with legs fully extended. I'm worried about stability of tripod using full-size DSLR with the legs fully extended, so would probably not extend the last (smallest) segment of legs when using this tripod with DSLR to be safer. But definitely able to hold Iphone (you have to buy adapter separately - it doesn't come with the tripod).

I bought this to hold a cheap video set-up. The weight on my camera(while only about 5lbs)is oddly distributed with the mount up front and most of the bulk hangs over the back but I had little trouble getting this tripod to hold at most reasonable angles. It's only seen use for a few months so we'll see if some slippage occurs as time goes by but it's been well worth the cost so far. The construction doesn't inspire the greatest of confidence but it is fairly compact and really light. The clip closer on the legs can be annoying when you have your hands full but I've had no other operational gripes about it.Bottom line, not the sturdiest but it works.
