Amazon Basics Camera Mini Tripod

I bought this tripod to use to mount my Canon Rebel 7s DSLR camera on my desk surface to use it as a $k capable webcam. Canon, and many of the other DSLR manufacturers have now issued software to fulfill that role/purpose for the camera. Size of the tripod was very important in this use case, and this tripod was a perfect fit for my desk surface level. It has a standard threaded mount for cameras (and webcams, etc.), and was easy to set up and adjust properly. The feet do not mar the desktop surface, and it is stable in operational use. Price is very favorable, as well, highly recommended. If you are thinking about implementing you DSLR as a webcam the software was totally simple to install and configure, and 4K capable when completed. Suggest adding a high quality USB microphone to your set up for superior sound. Amazon has a number of good examples of microphones that will blend well into this application.

I have used this extensively at a grand-daughter's basketball games to stream the game from a phone. It can be used in a fairly tight space and adjusts easily.

It was a good purchase and did exactly what I needed it for. It was a good quality, easy to use, and not too expensive. I had it for a couple of years, although somewhat limited use, it was worth the purchase.

This little tripod is sturdy, well built, and has a really nice design. I love it. The 360º rotating ball makes it very adjustable. At first, I was discouraged when the picture in the ad showed that the legs could be made almost flat, which was a main reason I bought it, then when I got it, I thought it couldn't do that. But I figured out that the bottom piece turns to where you can flatten the legs like the picture, or you can have it so the legs are not as flat. Also, I screwed my little selfie stick onto the base above the ball, so now I can bring my phone higher when needed, and that works great! It's very solid and feels like it's going to last.

I own a few different brands of these type of tripods. This one is not my favorite. Overall it works, but the button to adjust the ball mount is different. You have to losen, adjust, then tighten to make any adjustments. With other brands you just push the button, make your adjustment, and release. The others may not to a secure as this one, but they are much eaiser to use and never had a problem with them.

I have the amazon basics regular tripod and I love it but sometimes opening it and setting it up takes time and space and I got this one for prime day. Its nice and I think there are two settings. I'm still figuring it out. easy to keep and store. I have used it a couple of times and I like it.

Got a webcam that clips to my monitor but it had a crappy hold. Though the base of it had the screw hole that would fit into this stand. So I bought this and its been working great. The stand can stretch out really low on my desk while keeping the webcam stable too

I was hoping that I could use it with a small camera (a trail camera) for temporarily monitoring gopher holes etc.; but it tends to topple over and has no vertical adjustment. (It has a gimballed head, but if you tilt the camera up, then the whole thing topples over. ) It does hold a cell phone OK but it might be bit of a challenge to find a surface on which to place it to get the picture you want. I was looking for another one like the small tripod I had before. I probably won't use it; or will use pieces of it to make something else.
