" ... It is sturdy and has anti-slip rubber at the legs, it has fixing for regular camera, but where should I get the additional fixture for mobils ? ... "
" ... Made well, love it ... "
" ... Strong enough for the job, all metal components except feet, and good height range. ... "
" ... Like The Rubber Feet, Awesome Tripod, Great 👍🏻 Price. ... "
" ... The tension screw for adjusting angle of the top spindle is awkwardly placed, but definitely works well for streaming D&D on multiple C920s. ... "
" ... This stand is very sturdy. ... "
" ... Sturdy and very versatile. ... "
" ... Legs telescope easy, but stiffly enough not to retract when you need it to stay in position. ... "

" ... The ball head is difficult to tighten into place. ... Of course, you can adjust the tripod head, but since that doesn't tighten down well, it's not good. ... "
" ... Pretty bad quality, the hinge/bearing locking mechanism failed pretty quickly and slips out of place with even small amounts of force applied. ... "
" ... Does it job, too bad there's no way to keep the bottom legs from retracting! ... "
" ... The locking mechanism is too loose so it never fully locks. ... "
" ... Only thing I didn't like was that its extended legs don't lock in place. ... Pressure slide extended legs. ... "
" ... The locking mechanism for the swivel head is absolute garbage. ... It's not at all obvious what amount of rotation makes it engage or disengage, it doesn't always stay engaged, and it sometimes takes over a minute of fiddling to convince it to stay put. ... Secondly, it's too small and lightweight to even hold a cell phone at a steep angle. ... "
" ... The tripod legs collapse under the weight of my iphone camera, and the clasp at the top is weak and does not tighten at all. ... "
" ... This is my second one and all of a sudden the ball head won't tighten. ... "

" ... A little smaller than I hoped, but still useful. ... "
" ... This tool is very lightweight. ... "
" ... It does what is needed, and is small enough to fit in the computer bag pocket. ... "
" ... Simple and lightweight . ... "
" ... Seems professional grade despite its diminutive size. ... "
" ... Great tripod, very small and lightweight and easy to store/carry around. ... "
" ... I like that if I want to use this to record something around my computer workstation it's small and compact enough to do so. ... Also, because of the small size it's compact enough to slip into a travel bag without issue. ... For the price, it's a simple solution that's easy to keep around a small work space and lightweight to take with during travel. ... "

" ... This is a good little tripod. ... "
" ... It's easily moved when you pick up the tripod with even a point and shoot camera or cell phone attached. ... "
" ... Nice little tripod. ... "
" ... It works well with my security camera. ... "
" ... I would not put anything bigger than a point and shoot camera on it and especially not a DSLR. ... "
" ... For the price this is a really good tripod ... "
" ... Everything you need for a basic tripod. ... "
" ... It's just what I needed in order to shoot some very simple video. ... "

" ... Not overpriced abd higher quality than all its price ranged competition. ... "
" ... And great for the price. ... "
" ... Definitely worth $7. ... "

" ... Lost half of it when it just fell away. ... "
" ... Only thing I didn't like was that its extended legs don't lock in place. ... Pressure slide extended legs. ... "
" ... One Leg fell off after a few uses ... "
" ... Extended leg doesn't stay extended and the end rubber piece fell off too. ... "
" ... it broke before the first use, one of the legs pop one of the bottom plastica and no longer i can take it out of the leg, the leg will not extend because it doesn't have something to grab. ... "
" ... The ball pivot at the top is hard to adjust and keep tight. ... The legs feel very cheaply made. ... "
" ... The only issue I have is the "neck" seems a bit weak - it's difficult to tighten and tends to slip under heavy weight unless you *really* put some muscle into twisting the little lock. ... "
" ... I'm not sure how much weight it would take before the legs start collapsing on their own. ... "
