All the legs fell off, but I'd buy it again (seriously)
let me start by saying being one of my tripods is not a easy life. I use my tripods regularly in Salt water.Recently I've started to use cheaper lighter tripods because I just don't want to be carrying a heavy tripod around so bought one of these.The tripod has lots of useful features such as one of the legs having foam on it, the panning action for panos is nice and the tripod is Arca Swiss head (much more stability on portrait shots because the lens is centrally above the legs rather than hanging over the side). The main problem with the tripod is that all the legs eventually fell off after less than a years service. This may be due to the hard life my tripods get. The reason why I'd buy this again is because I've just superglued the legs back in and it's as good as new. Everything else about this tripod is perfect for me. I'm also past the stage of worrying about portraying myself as a good photographer by having a more established Manfrotto or similar. I'm more confident in actually knowing what I'm doing and knowing that this is a better tripod for me. Plenty out there .....with all the gear and no idea.

Better than expected. Well built. Great value!
I’m using this tripod with a Sony A7iii mostly for product photos and it works very well. The 4 stage legs lock very securely and the ball head holds the camera exactly where you place it without slack drift.The folded size is amazingly small and the zippered carrying case is a nice touch to protect it while traveling; it fits nicely in my backpack. The lightweight design doesn’t compromise its stability - it’s very sturdy.I was a bit concerned before ordering because this brand was associated (in my experience) with budget tripods of limited features and build quality. I have been pleasantly surprised with how nicely made it is.There are undoubtably other brands that have great reputations for their quality and designs, but I have no buyers’ remorse with this tripod.

Pretty good
I just got the monocular, and they keep emailing me for a review, so here goes: It seems to work fine, though I've been busy and haven't used it much. The one issue I've noticed so far is that the mounting socket for the tripod is too far forward (toward the eyepiece), so it does not balance the heavier portion of the unit, and unless you have the legs of the tripod turned right the unit tends to fall over. To correct the design, they could install the tripod socket more in the center for better balance. What I'm going to try for this unit is to buy one of those tripods with flexible legs to compensate for the imbalance. They're only $10 or so, so no biggie.

Works well with a (wait for it) camera. Small yet
I'm not high tech, so I didn't order this for a GoPro, Nest, iPhone, iPad, or anything of the sort.I have a digital camera and larger tripods, and ordered this to fit into smaller spaces, and for desktop use to photograph my crafts. My Canon PowerShot screwed in place easily and felt securely attached to the tripod the entire time I used it, without feeling like I was going to tip it over just from pushing the top buttons.It's small, with bendy legs perfect to position any way you'd like - I used this to the best advantage to point the camera more sideways than down.Small, easy to store, and great to have on hand for those time when a traditional tall tripod is just too much.

Awesome tripod that is almost perfect.
I have purchased several of these tripods and they are great for the iPhone. The tripod is light weight but sturdy to hold the phone. The holder is adjustable to various widths. I have an iPhone 8 Plus with an otter box and I have no problems putting it in the tripod holder. The only minor issue I have is the ability to adjust the phone up and down. It seems the tripod had predefined grooves inside that allow you to adjust up and down. If you want to adjust just a tad up and down, it is hard to do and be able lock it in that position. The tripod forces you to move it into a groove as you try to lock it. This tripod would have been perfect if the variable up and down movement allowed you to lock it into place at “any” position. I still give this tripod a 5 star. I have 3 now to use at church.

Compact, but Solid
This is a great tripod. It’s small but very sturdy & holds my d3500 with an 85mm prime lens on there just fine. I don’t have to worry about it tipping over. The arms are adjustable. They extend out as well as adjust to lay outward so you can have two arms on the ground and one on a ledge for those awkward angles. It’s carbon fiber so pretty much indestructible. You can feel the quality when you pick it up unlike some of those cheaper tripods. I had a 48” adjustable and one of the legs snapped. This baby is built to last through the harshest conditions. I definitely recommend this product although make sure you get the correct size for your needs.

Overall a Great Product!
The Tripod is great. Compacts to a small size and is very light-weight. It looks nice and I like the way the 3 legs extend giving it more stability, as opposed to most of the other tripods I viewed that had the 3 legs at the bottom and what extended what a center bar. The Bluetooth remote control is also great. It's nice, simple, small and it works instantly with my I-Phone 8 Plus Camera. The material does seem on the cheaper-end but for the price is fair. The fact that it is so light-weight and with the material it is made with, I just hope it won't easily fall over with any small amount of wind and break easily. I just received it today so I have not gone out to test it yet. But overall great product, it is everything I expected and a good price!

Great for Vlogging, Webinars, and Video Conferenci
The
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, Widescreen Video Calling and Recording, 1080p Camera, Desktop or Laptop Webcam
is plug-and-play, has great sound quality, and works with all of my systems (Windows, Linux, Mac). Great for vlogging, webinars, and video conferencing. It also takes pictures! It has a good built-in mic but I use it with my
Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone
.Edit: I forgot to mention that it can be mounted on traditional tripods and therefore is very adaptable, portable, and it's small size means it's super convenient. The mounting surface is actually part of a folding/extending arm that allows you to place it on your monitor and adjust the positioning up/down/updown angle.

The absolute best!
Wanted to be sure I utilized the tripod in various modes and both camcorder and digital camera with extended lenses.The various height adjustments had the legs all solid with no slippage. The bevel head easily adjusts to true level position. Even fully extended the tripod was solid stable. I have 2 other professional tripods but needed something with almost 6 foot extension for some of my shoots. This is actually slightly over 6 feet and unless I am using dual media devices in a shoot, now the ONLY tripod I use regularly. Well worth the money for amateurs and professionals who want to just buy a tripod one time and know it will fill virtually every need for any still or video recording device.
