Good value but manfrotto definitely feels better!
Does the job fairly well, I like that it can invert to hang camera rather than prop, great for macro shots. Feels sturdy when fully extended. As described, you may need to use some kind of bracket for additional support when using a telephoto lens. some of the clips feel a bit too cheap and rattly for my liking, manfrotto make a pretty much identical tripod that FEELS better quality, but it also costs a bit more, so depends on your budget really! The bag it comes with is a bit too big for me to justify carrying round but it's well padded and gets used when the tripod is in the house!

You'll probably have to see it to believe it
I originally purchased the EOS M body only, without any of the "kit" lenses that were designed to fit it. My Mother has an older DSLR with a good mid-range lens, and I wanted a camera that would be a functional equivalent to hers. The EOS M caught my attention online due to its compact size, its reputation for being "well built," and it's reasonable price tag. However, I didn't trust the lenses that came with it - the 22mm and the 18-55mm. I'm fairly naive when it comes to lenses, and I figured that truly good lenses like my Mother's come in big packages. I found a $300 Canon lens with an ultrasonic motor (recently increased to $420 on Amazon) that was reviewed very highly, and attached it to my EOS M with the available adapter. Kind of defeats the purpose of a compact camera, I know...but it felt to me like a camera is supposed to feel. The pictures that I was able to take were quite good, but even after confirming that the new firmware update was installed (and thus the slow autofocusing was as remedied as possible), I found that the lens still hunted a lot, and made a considerable amount of noise, making video literally impossible without both the autofocus and image stabilization being turned off. The USM lens worked fine for photos, and afforded me some very good zooming capabilities, but I began to search online for other options, and found that this little lens was rated quite highly. I decided to go for it, and I am SO glad that I did.If you are as skeptical as I was, you really may never truly believe the positive reviews about this lens until you witness the results for yourself. The photos that it produces are SO crisp and clear, that I still can't believe it. In terms of clarity, it blows the $300 USM lens away completely. GRANTED - it does not zoom, which is a drawback. Also, I have not discovered how to manually focus with this lens - those of you who desire manual focus may want to consult another review. However, after taking several shots, I find that I miss the zoom less and less, as I continue to become more and more captivated by the swift and silent autofocus (not instantaneous, but perfectly adequate for my needs) and the stunning clarity of the images. I'll admit that I have no first-hand experience with the 18-55 mm lens that was designed for the EOS M, but I will say with complete sincerity that this lens, to me, is completely worth the money I paid for it. If you want extremely crisp photos with good color and clarity, and don't care tremendously about zoom, this is the lens for you.For those of you who are still skeptical - I would recommend that you search for some full-size sample photos online. Google-search "Canon EOS M 22 mm sample photos" and find some that are pixel-for-pixel true-to-size. This will give you a better idea of what this camera-lens combo is capable of.

Much better than our old monitor.
This monitor was very easy to install. The picture quality is much better than our old monitor and the two way talk function is much clearer. I also recommend the wide angle lens. It is very helpful to see the entire room without moving the camera.

Great for street photography
I got this for my Sony A6500 camera and it was very sturdy. The only thing I would advise to anyone who wants to use Big lenses is to size up to the bigger one. this one is comfortable for up to a 50mm lens I would say. Great product

Outstanding quality and value!
I've tried a few different lens kits for iPhones and Xenvo is hands down the best quality lens I've tried. Quality of construction is outstanding! I'm not a professional photographer but just an average iPhone owner that loves to take photos. I especially enjoy macro photos so this lens kit fit all my needs, including the Glow Clip that comes with the lens and case. They've thought of every detail! I highly recommend the Xenvo lens. 10 STARS!

Doesn't have a lens cover.
Great image quality. Much better than my old Logitech camera. I wish it had a lens cover to keep prying eyes from hackers out. Easily fixed by placing it face down behind the monitor when I am not using it.

Good quality, no up close focus
The camera itself is perfect for a cheap yet quality face cam. While it doesn't seem to be able to focus on objects held closer to the lens, it's not a huge drawback. It's got a nice quality for being such a low price compared to other cameras available

Affordable nice lens
This lens is very beautiful for portraits and very affordable for a price like that ... did my research between this 1.8 and 1.4, there is no huge difference between them so pretty much this lens is very practical to take to any kind of portrait photoshoot. Tips for that lens , if you notice the elves on the pictures there, there is ones are very close to their face , what I did is flipped the lens to other side and it will like a micro lens for a reason ... all you have to do is getting very close to the subject

Tricky but worth it.
Beginner level phographer: Lens is fantastic for both portrait and macro. Shooting distance can be tricky but the auto focus helps a lot. It's also very easy to switch to manual for fine tuning in case the camera is picking up the wrong subject.10/10 would recommend.
