Out of the box, this is a pretty awesome tripod. It has all the features and functions you’d expect, even a mount that holds your phone if that serves as your only camera. I’d say it’s perfect for phones, compact or pocket cameras. Now, I knew what to expect, but I was hopeful based on how much weight is claimed it can hold. I have the small full frame D780, and the smaller crop frame D7000. I think both are too heavy with even an upgraded 17-50 for the D7000 or a 15-30 on the D780. It seems to lose a little balance when using the 90° hinge for portrait mode with both cameras. Although tilt and swivel adjustments are tight and feel good. I wouldn’t recommend using any camera heavier than a D3000 or 5000 series, a Canon Rebel, or equivalent if you want the steadiest shots. I don’t know enough about mirrorless cameras to give an opinion in that regard.

If you’re looking for a reliable, sturdy tripod that can handle both cameras and smartphones, this model delivers impressively. Its reinforced aluminum alloy construction feels solid and stable, even when supporting heavier DSLR cameras or larger phones with accessories. The adjustable legs lock securely at multiple angles, making it versatile for different shooting conditions

This is an impressive little tripod. It seems to be relatively well made, easy to assemble (first time). I purchased this to use for my spotting scope, it is a little heavier than your average camera, but it works well. It holds tight, and as far as i can tell, no risk of toppling over. The only flaw is the horizontal axis lock (Pan and tilt). If this has anything heavy (such as a spotting scope), the lock tends to give more than it should. I swapped direction on the quick release plate so it does not allow the tilt, so this is a quick fix for straight visibility.

Always wonder when it comes to buying budget items. The saying, you get what you for. But not in this case, I got more. This tripod is well made. I like the feel and weight is good. The legs extend well and lock into place. There are a couple of items that seem a little weak. The handle, in which you move your mounted item up/down or side/side is screwed in. But it feels like if you try to tighten the handle into place you might strip the screw. I just tightened mine enough to just be able to move it around. No problem. The other thing is the plate lock. Feels like it's a little weak, but it does lock in. In all it is a great item to own. Especially if this is your first one. But even if it's not, you get more than your money's worth with this tripod.

Works great with my Fantik Lazer level. Could be a bit sturdier and takes a little longer to set up, but you get what you pay for.

Already did one review on the other tripod I bought. But, I bought two for my son's wedding. I was blessed to officiate. The tripods enabled me to set up from two angles and to capture the wedding ceremony flawlessly ! In Colorado during the Aspen change. What a beautiful setting. All caught on camera aNd the tripods made that possible. Well-made and equipped. Great product. Sturdy, easy to use, more than effective.

This tripod was bought to replace an older, more expensive and less sturdy tripod that I have been struggling with for years. Very easy to use and quite sturdy. The adjustments are well placed and easy to use. The accessories include a cell phone adapter that is, again, very easy to use and adjust. Great price to value ratio.

I have been using it for 2 years and am very satisfied.
