As Perfect & Utilitarian As A Tripod Can Be!!
I absolutely LOVE this tripod. I have no clue how such a versatile tripod can go for so low…but hey just one more reason to LOVE Amazon.com!!As you can see I have no arms so I need a tripod that is lightweight but full on perks…this tripod is EVERYTHING I hoped for & then some!!!!It is VERY easy to operate from manipulating the height to changing the swivel points for various angles. The knobs are nice & big making screwing/unscrewing very easy & effortless.I got this for my Makayama iPad case & it works seamlessly with it.Great product! Great pricing!! Thanks Amazon!!!![…]
More Features than Expected!
For the money, this is a great product! For around $20, I was expecting a basic, low quality product to get me by. All it had to do was hold my camera (Nikon D5000) in place and I would have been satisfied. To my surprise, there are features included with this tripod that are on $40+ tripods! Two different bubble levelers, one for the base and another for the camera, an independent crank riser for additional height, multiple tightening locations to keep your camera in place, and the ability to hold your camera in both landscape and portrait.Since receiving this tripod, I did a “test” where I installed my camera and left it alone for almost five days with the legs fully extended and positioning locations locked / secured. This tripod held its position without any trouble, easing my concerns about it falling over and damaging my camera.One issue I found is related to my specific camera (See Image). When attached to the tripod, I am unable to flip the screen around due to the locking arm being in the way. This is not a major issue since you only need to release the camera, flip the screen as desired, and re-secure.Overall, I’m completely satisfied with my purchase and would strongly recommend it to anyone. Take a look at my added images where I give a closer look of its features and capabilities.
An excellent first tripod
My new point and shoot camera may be cheap but it can take Full HD videos and wide-angle hi-res still shots. I plan to annoy my friends, family, and fishing buddies by taking Full HD videos of them. For that I need a tripod. Nobody likes shaky videos.I was surprised to learn how affordable such a useful accessory can be so before spent my 27 bucks I watched some utoob videos on how to select and use a tripod (I think I might need a monopod too!). And, of course I read the Amazon user reviews. Only SEVEN one-star reviews, as I write this, against 246 5-star reviews. The few bad reviews seemed to concern the tripod being shaky when the center tube extension was cranked up and/or the total lack of instructions.I think the two issues are related and Amazon could eliminate 5 of the 7 bad reviews by including instructions. The center tube IS shaky, even when it’s all the way down, until you tighten the collar.I had never touched a tripod before this one. It’s not hard to figure out but don’t clip your new camera into the quick release mount until you are sure you know how to remove and replace the mounting plate and FULLY lock the cam lever. That may be why one of the 7 reviewers that gave one star was unhappy. I have uploaded some photos to the gallery that might help locate all the locks and to tell when the quick release is seated.Since I’m not going to be recording combat or Kardashians this Amazon Basic unit will do just fine. It’s light,well made, sets up or takes down easily, and, when all the locks are tightened, very steady.The professionals recommend hanging some weight from the center hook because it keeps the wind from wiggling everything and makes the whole assemble more resistant being knocked over by fishing buddies, especially on uneven ground. The professionals recommend using your camera bag but I plan on trying a bucket of ice and a six-pack.With the center tube cranked all the way up the lens of my camera is 63 1⁄2 inches high. The quick release feature will be handy for swapping to a small telescope. It’s not really quick at all if you don’t have a second mounting plate and need to unscrew the plate from the camera and screw it onto the scope. The Velbon QB-4W Quick Release Platform fits the base and is nearly identical to the original plate.I bought this tripod for my second digital camera, which is about half the size of my first one. I know there are brackets available that let you use the camera in your cell phone or tablet. You can mount spotter scopes or binoculars too. Who knows what cameras will look like 5 years from now, but I bet they will have a screw mount in the bottom and a tripod will still be a good idea.

Awesome tripod for the price!
Nice Product
I’ve waiting so long to write this review. I was usually not a person who likes to write reviews, bit this Tripod worked pretty good.
Seriously IMPRESSED!
I was extremely impressed with this tripod. I was not expecting the quality that I got for the price. If you are hesitant in purchasing this because the price is low, don’t be!
Inexcusably Cheap
comments powered by DisqusI expect some resistance, I don’t expect it to be smooth and precise, but today is my second day with the product and one of the pieces to the extendable legs has come loose.
