Camera Tripod 66.7 Inch, Patented 3-Way Rotating Portable Cameras Stand Professional Aluminum Travel Phone Camera Mount Monopod for Camera, Smartphone, Suitable for Various Live Vlogging

I have used and owned more than 2 dozen tripods; from the cheap $20 mottles to the $250 ones. I have never had an interest in a monopod because I needed something freestanding; however, all tripods take up allot of room to set up. This tripod/monopod combination is the best of both worlds!Between the lock in camera shoe and the quick lock for the legs and telescopic extension makes this one of the fastest tripods to set up by far.It has all of the standard swivels that any other tripod would such as tilt, swivel and angle, and comes with a bonus of being able to clip in a cell phone.The footprint for the legs is about 1/3 of what a standard tripod would use. Keep in mind that this is a middle ground between a standard tripod and a monopod. So if you’re in a windy situation or you have a really heavy camera that the higher you raise the telescopic pole the less stable it is going to be.Because this tripod is made out of aluminum it is very light weight. This also cuts back a little bit on the stability, but makes it much nicer to toss in a backpack or camera bag to carry.Ok so I have talked about how there is a compromise in the stability for a smaller footprint with the legs. This can also be solved very easy. I took a 10lb barbell weight and clamped it to the center pole and I wouldn’t hesitate to put my heaviest camera on it now.You can also remove the telescopic pole and use it as a table top tripod. This gives you many different types of configurations.Now to top everything off: the company selling this tripod stands by their product. I had a question for them and they got back to me in less than 24 hours and answered all of my questions and solved my problem. Good customer service is hard to find and a company that stands behind their product is even harder to find.Personally I can’t think of any other modifications that I would make to this and still get all of the advantages that it has.So the bottom line… if you want something that is very reasonably priced, and gives you lots of options than this is it!5* for the product and 10* for the customer support!

A little more bulky than I would have liked but for the price it is otherwise a nice tripod.

The placeholder wobbles but over all the tripod is steady!

Just what I needed for new lighter weight cameras.
