Universal Complete Tripod Units with Remote Shutter, BAALAND 70" Lightweight Camera Phone Tripode for Canon Rebel T7 DSLR Sony

Baaland claims that the tripod is "11 lbs max load," yet when I attach my D7000 (1.73 pounds) with my Nikkor 24-70 2.8 lens (1.98 pounds) and flip the quick release plate to vertical position, the lens immediately tips toward the floor no matter how tightly I have clamped down the screw on the quick release to secure the camera and lens in place. (See photo). I even tried rotating the plate to all 4 possible positions, only to experience the same problem. Even switching to my Tamron SP 45mm F1.8 (only 1.19 pounds) didn't resolve the issue. I have never had an issue like this with any tripod I've had, no matter how cheap. Unusable.

I've bought tripods half the price of this one, that work 10 times better. The head is always flimsy, the tripod plug is completely unreliable as the camera can easily pop out of the socket.Because of that, my camera popped off the tripod into the floor and broke a 500 dollar lens and the camera sensor. DON'T TRUST THIS TRIPOD.Besides that, the monopod that is included is completely useless. Doesn't support any weight, and its uncomfortable and n9t practical to use.It's better to buy a tripod and a monopod seperately. You'll save a lot of money and have better equipment.

I purchased the BAALAND tripod 70". I don't just write reviews as soon as I buy the item. I give them a good test before. I am a wedding and event photographer and videographer in George danielmilam.com. I needed two tripods that would withstand wind in outdoor weddings. I use several cameras and video cameras for a typical wedding so I usually have to leave one to go check on another while my wife does the same with the other cameras. In the past at least one tripod would fall down. This new BAALAND tripod has not fallen down and has the availability to have additional weights at the end. Also the middle area turns into the monopod which is handy. I appreciate that instead of one of the legs turning into one which makes it hard to use and quickly convert back to a tripod during a ceremony. The only bad part that I can state on this mono pod part is it would be nice if it had its own three small feet to use. It would be slightly more stable for inside use. I also love the handle and grip that you can use on the tripod to quickly move your camera without the camera shaking. Overall I would buy this again and may soon in the near future.

I have been doing photograp;hy on a semi-pro level for 30 years. I have learned a lot about tripods, mostly by buying cheap bad ones and trying to make them work. Same with this one. I bought a 29 dollar tripod that was lousy and broke after 1 day. This one is everything the first was not. The leg hinges are solid and snug. No play or wobbliness. The lock for the column is accessible around the column rather than between the leg hinges where it required pliers to get to. The legs fold up; around the ballhead. This makes for a tripod only 7 inches folded up. This is a tabletop tripod with expandable legs. As with *any* tripod, extending the legs fully introduces wobbliness. With a tabletop; tripod this is far more pronounced as the leg sections are far thinner than full size. Fully extendeds I would not try a DSLR on it. A cell phone or point and shoot may be okay. This is a result of necessary design compromises given the size. If you MUST use it at full extension get a full size tripod insteadWhere this tripod shines is its intended use as a tabletop tripod for macro and light box work. It is extremely sturdy at this. It will hold quite a bit of weight well. A DSLR is no problem at minimum height.. At this point my only nit is the one piece column. This limits how low it can get the camera. I am seriously considering cutting off part of the column to get it lower. Are you listening Baaland engineering? You did a great job here. This great engineering makes the lack of a 2 piece column glare more than it should. Can we look forward to a 2 piece or even 3 piece column to really get more height.?The ball head, for its small size is surp;risingly strong. I mounted a Nikon D7100 with battery pack and 70-300 lens on it. I locked the ball then gingerly turned the tripod on its side. The ball head held this levered weight without moving. Kudos to engineering. The head acfcep;ts a standard Arc Swiss quick release plate. This is a huge plus as all my QR plates are Arca swiss compatible. Arca swiss is pretty much the standard among pros and and serious amateurs. The screwhead is a bit small and makes it difficuolt to tighten prop;erly to the camera. A quarter, or even a p;ocket multi tool serves well here.All in all this is a very solid tripod within its limits. Remember to always extend only the thickest leg segments necessary. This gives the greatest stability. Using a DSLR will make it very top heavy and prone to tipping. Using greater leg spread reduces this problem but always be careful of tipping. This is the nature of tiny tripods.At this point longevity is a question. However, the tripod is very well constructed and engineered and has a promise of years of service.
