A superior tripod for anyone from amateurs to professionals
I have a couple of simple and cheap tripods that I use with my GoPro. I purchased a DSRL a few weeks ago and figured I didn’t need an expensive tripod, my current one would do the trick. But I found out the hard way, after the tripod tipped over with my DSLR and fell, that I need a better one. I really like Manfrotto tripods, but at about $200-$300, they were out of my price range.I came across this tripod with excellent reviews. I figured if I wanted a high-quality tripod, I would still be spending north of a $100, and this one was about $150. For something less than half the price of a Manfrotto tripod, this seemed like an excellent buy.I decided to place an order, and I am really happy I did. Opening up the box, you pull out a very well made and padded carrying case for the tripod. The tripod is constructed out of aluminum alloy and is very well made. This most definitely is a premium tripod and I would go as far as saying a professional one. The black and brass color scheme looks really nice giving it that extra premium look and feel.It stands at about 17 inches in length with the legs collapsed, and with the legs fully extended at 64 inches. The legs are easily adjustable using a rotating lock mechanism. They have the ability to flip 180° so you can rotate the tripod upside down to get those perfect macro shots. One of the legs has padded foam grip making it easier to carry around. The same leg also detaches from the tripod and converts into a monopod.The tripod has a decent amount of weight to it helping keep everything properly balanced, but light enough to carry it around. However, if more support in stability is needed, there is a hook at the bottom of the center shaft, letting you place more weight to help balance the tripod in uneven terrain or windy conditions.There is very little plastic on this tripod. Everything is so well made, including the aluminum the ball head, which has a bubble level on it. The plate can be easily removed and the head has the ability to pan. Pans are very smooth and you can adjust the tension by using the pan lock.This ‘budget’ tripod may have a budget price, but has a superior build quality and many features you would find only in a higher end one. This is an excellent tripod for anyone from amateurs to professionals.

Perfect for small, dimly lit spaces
I do most of my video recording at my desk in my bedroom and this is exactly what I need to light up that dimly lit corner. The tripod is easily adjustable and the lighting is exceptional. There are three adjustable lighting options to choose from — natural, warm, & cool. If your space is already well lit, the tripod can actually be used with or without the ring light. It’s a simple product, but definitely gets the job done.

Works perfectly
The media could not be loaded.
I purchased this for my pixel 6, wanted to use it for star pictures. The tripod works great, sets up high enough to see the phone. Very sturdy and easy to use. I did not use the remote, I do not need it, so that will be a good bonus I didn't know about.

Light weight for hiking or travel
Manfrotto makes much better tripods than this, but this works well if you are hiking and need to bring a tripod for your mirrorless camera. Compact and light weight. Very minimalist design, but it does what it is supposed to do, holds smaller cameras steady.

Great for travel and just holding phone
Great tripod for pictures. The legs are very flexible and have great grip. I used it in a flight and it was able to grip the seat arm and tv monitor in a bulkhead seat for me to watch my videos. Very adjustable and lightweight. I do worry about the plastic joints but far they are good and I try to be careful when adjusting. It is not very tall though so if you need a tall tripod or do not have a place for this one to grip on to then this might not be the right fit. The holder fits a samsung note with a thick case on so i think it can handle any phone.

Adds dimensions to your phone camera.
Nice kit, well presented with instructional videos. I have not had the chance to use it a lot and will need to get a tripod for the images I need to take. Full zoom and macro lens together amplify hand shake, and no matter how steady you are, there is enough to blur an image, so if you are going to be doing extreme close-ups of objects, bite the bullet and get a tripod or stand for your phone, and consider a remote trigger, as mentioned in the videos. The wide angle lens permits the inclusion of a lot more than the standard phone lens, and I have some experimenting to do with that yet.
