This versatile camera tripod comes with many features. It is about 22 inches long when compacted, and it can be as tall as 80 inches when fully extended. This makes it good for crowds and getting clear shots over tall obstacles. Included our two camera mount plates with a quick connect system. Also included is a camera phone mount that is spring loaded and not dependent on magnets or special cases. The mount system has a unique feature where when you insert the amount the lock automatically activates holding it in position so you can finish locking down your camera without fear of it falling off. This gives you that third hand that sometimes you are missing. A happy bonus is a very small and discrete Bluetooth camera shutter button. It only took a moment to connect to my iOS, phone, and works flawlessly. This makes the whole system very easy to use. The compact design does give up a little stability and to compensate for this they have included a weight hook in the center of the tripod. You will have to supply your own weight. The other net I have with this tripod is the stabilizer does not seem to lock into place. That makes it a little easy to bump or when you pick up the tripod for the legs to fold up unlike other tripods that either have a lock in there or snap over center. I can consider this tripod to be a great value.
