Zakitane Mini Portable Travel Tripod, 30cm/12in Lightweight Compact Aluminum Alloy ABS Tabletop Vlogging Small Tripod with 5kg Load 3-Way Swivel Pan Tilt Head / Mobile Phone Holder for DSLR Camera

The media could not be loaded.  What can I say about this that just looking at it cant tell you?It is extremely portable at just under 12 inches when collapsed and just under 2' when fully extended. Stable and with all the usual adjustments (I do like the feet on this as well, not fixed so they pivot depending on the surface to help with the stability) Made of aluminium it is nice and sturdy and it's the first tripod I've had that is a funky colour.The build quality and smoothness of operation, although good, isn't what you will get on a £100+ unit but then again this was only £26 and that is why it gets 5 stars from meYou are probably better off looking at the video to get a better view of what it does but it is perfect for my phone when I want to use it as a camera and not have it shaking everywhere (like it does when my son is holding it :-)) It is plenty big enough to take my DSLR as it is like any other Tripod and has the universal detachable plate. I'll be taking this one on holiday with me as it wont take up much space n the case. It also comes with its own little case for carrying it around.

This tripod is not a full height one but its very useful for anything except studio portrait work and even then it would do a great job stood on a table. There are tilt and rotation adjustments that can be locked and a fine tune on the height which of course also gives you extra height when the tripod is fully extended, the extension also has a lock screw. The legs have easy to use and tough feeling quick release clamps. There is also a hook to hang a weight from for extra stability.Perfect for my camera, wildlife camera or with a phone adaptor.This tripod could perhaps have a stronger winder on the extension but that's a small floor. This is a very good cheap tripod or to put it another way a pretty good cheap one.

I purchased this to mount my portable projector. This is a very well made tripod, feels sturdy. It is reasonably compact and nice and light. It assembles very easy and has lots of nice features including the bag to carry it in. If anyone is looking for a reasonably priced reliable tripod then look no further than this one.

This is a really lovely tripod and very good value for money but I would only recommend this for the beginner. I have a DSLR with a wide angle lens and when I fixed the tripod to my camera in the landscape position it was ok but when placed in the portrait position the tripod was not strong enough to support the camera and kept drooping down. I didn't want to overtighten the securing knob as the plastic does not feel strong enough and I think given use over time the plastic would fail. I have gone back to using my full size tripod and just attach it to the back of my camera bag and set off looking like a one man band.....but it works for me. If you are a beginner and have a medium to lightweight camera then go for it as it is good value for money. Hope this helps

I wish I can give it zero stars. Broken and faulty right out of the box. As soon as I started tightening the screw when attaching the SLR, the whole plastic piece holding the camera together just snapped.

Bought it for desktop photography and it works fine for that. It has quite a nice weight to it so it doesn't wobble, I assume this means it is suitable for outdoor use too.It has a built in level which isn't really applicable to me but if you're doing stuff on an uneven surface it will probably help.My favourite feature though is the quick release plate. My other tripod is incredibly fiddly as you have to get underneath it and twiddle a thumb screw, where as this one clips on and off and allows you to get at the thumbscrew so much more easily. All tripods should have this as standard.

It's not like one of the£60 + ones.. but then you're not paying that. It works, it's very light, and even with a 140mm or a 200mm lens on, it still stands up.

To small. Not a full size tripod. Only about half a meter high when fully extended. I missed this in the original description, as I was looking for the smallest dimensions when collapsed. Would work well if used as designed. Just not fit for my purpose.
