Wanted another ballhead tripod as a back up (or if I needed two). This does the job. I spent more money on a brand that should be the equivalent of this, but I like this one better. This tripod reaches high, the ball head works as it should, it gives you slots for vertical photography, and it holds well. The monopod feature is awesome when you have a heavy, long lens and need stability but need to move around. The attachments for phones are much better than ones I've had before as it has two options to hold the phone for landscape or portraits. The phone attachment is awesome as it allows a clip for landscape and portrait photography.

As a content creator, I've found this tripod to be a solid addition to my gear. It's functional and sturdy with decent quality. While it's not something I'd want to carry around on every shoot (it's on the heavier side compared to my other tripods), it's become my go-to for studio work and more stationary content. The ball head is smooth, making it easy to adjust my camera, and I love that it converts to a monopod. It's like getting two tools in one, which is great for someone who needs flexibility. The build quality is impressive - this isn't a flimsy tripod that'll wobble at the slightest touch. The weight means incredible stability for video and photography.

Feels sturdy, made almost fully out of aluminum. Included monopod is a sweet touch, large ball on the top and easy tightening system makes it easy to stabilize (especially with the included bubble level). Gets super tall, and comes with small carrying bag that holds everything. Some type of arm would be nice, other than that no complaints!

At the price they are selling this tripod, I was not expecting it to be such high quality, but it is much nicer than I thought it would be. It isn't exactly the lightest tripod I have ever used, but then it isn't the heaviest either. It folds up pretty compact, but I always have a hard time getting the tripod back into the provided carry bag they give you. Especially with the extra phone holder, I don't know how it all fit in the bag to begin with. But that aside, the ball head is large and sturdy, and works well, adjusts easily also. You can also turn this into a monopod, making it even more useful. Overall, this is a really nice tripod.

I needed a new tripod that can handle the stress of a pochade box. These boxes for art making are about the weight of a DSLR. This tripod has all metal ball heads and connections. My pochade box feels solid as can be on it. This tripod feels great too. It folds down super compact and can be used multiple ways., I like that one leg can be used as a monopod> I feel like this is a great tripod for my uses which is a bit weird, but know that I'm going to put way more stress on this tripod than any camera would.It's super easy to unfold and set up. The legs lock into place easily. The design is compact but not super lightweight. It's easy to use too. It arrives with an arca swiss mount system and 2 arca mounts. Arca is a super budget friendly mounting system that is rock solid. It locks onto a mount and doesn't let go until you unscrew or unlock it. SolidValue wish this thing is underpriced at about $60. It's incredibly sturdy and feels great.

Quality tripod with the versatility of a monopod! This has been great for it's variety of functionality. Being able to use it as a monopod and a tripod has come in handy in quite a few situations for me! Very pleased with this product, and that it comes in its own soft carrying case.

I am pretty happy with this tripod. Even though it is a compact size, the materials used are very high quality. The legs are a lot beefier than I was expecting and I have no concerns about it supporting the weight of my camera. I like how the legs fold in reverse which makes the overall size of this tripod very compact. The phone holder is also much better than any that I have previously owned. It is very large and will hold my device while its in a filming rig and it also opens large enough to hold a good sized tablet. I also like how it can be converted into a monopod for even more portability.

Nice tripod! Solid build and does the job well. The only real improvements I’d suggest are a better handle for maneuvering the ball head and a more visible level bubble. But the fact that it converts into a monopod? That’s a game-changer. For $64.99, it’s definitely worth it, and it’s earned a spot in the YouTube channel gear rotation.

This tripod is a complete set. It comes in a bag with a phone/tablet mount, two Arca swiss compatible plates and a phone camera remote.It does have metal legs but you should be aware that all the fittings(the yolk, the column lock, the ball head, the plates) are plastic which may not be a bad thing. The plastic on this actually feels pretty sturdy. Still, I would be careful not to over tighten and check it frequently for cracks.The remote is a blue tooth remote and is pretty straight forward to connect to your phone.The tripod plates are plastic but are actually Arca-swiss compatible (unlike some of the other tripods I have reviewed)It is not the smallest or lightest tripod but it is sturdy and has good height. It will support phones, mirror-less, film SLR's etc.
