Amazon Basics60 inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag, Black

It blows my mind how this is as cheap as it is. It's not the most bulletproof, smooth operating tripod out there but for the price, it's hard to justify most other tripods out there. This is stable, compact, and comes with great features like the level. If you need a tripod in a pinch or just like to have one on hand for the offchabce you need one for your Canon or Nikon, this is the one if nothing else for the price to performance ratio!!

I love how pack able this is, easy to travel with and store (I have a small apartment so this is always a plus). Offers great stability, my camera is just a basic digital so for my needs it is sturdy and holds the camera well. Easy to use/figure out

Used it for a spotting scope just yesterday, 6/6/2025. Great purchase. The price is excellent for the quality. It isn't the most sturdy tripod that I have used, but you aren't actively moving it a bunch. It's stable and has a built-in level. It functions just as you would expect and is very convenient due to how portable it is.

Sturdy and affordable, works perfectly with my Pivo for riding lessons!

Taking pictures is a hobby to me, so my needs out of a tripod were pretty simple. I originally bought this tripod for the purpose of setting up a "photobooth" at a Christmas party with friends with a Sony A5100, which was a very light camera so I didn't require much of the tripod other than just keeping it up. I am happy to report that it has been almost 5 years since and I still use this tripod! I use it to take our own family photos, recording family videos, to take pictures of the sky or any scenes where I need the camera to be superrrr still, etc.I have a heavier camera now (Sony A7II) in comparison to the one I had then, and even so I have not had any issues with stability. I will point out, however, that I don't use very heavy lenses (between 24mm and 55mm) so I cannot speak to how it would if you used longer, heavier telephoto lenses. I also have only used it mostly on flat land, so I also cannot speak to its stability in very uneven surfaces where you'd have to adjust the height of each leg differently.I find that it is extremely easy to set up and put away, and it is very light. You are able to adjust the height of the tripod as well as the angle of the camera very easily. I love the versatility of the mounting plate since I am able to screw in my DJI Osmo with my phone, as well as my insta360 and GoPro cameras.I have seen other tripods out there that are much more expensive so I'd imagine (or at least hope) that it would be much better quality, but not once have I found myself considering purchasing another yet. I think this tripod is quite a bang for your buck!

This easel is so compact and lightweight. I used it several times on my trip to Europe. It was great to just pop it into my shoulder bag and set up to paint wherever. I'm thinking about using it instead of my heavy-duty plein air tripod. Note: I used it with a lightweight plastic watercolor set up. The head doesn't hold up with a wooden palette.

I was wondering if I made the right choice since the price was cheap. However, I didnt. The stand is fragile and isnt stable. You cannot pan with it either as it moves the entire stand when you try to. SIze is good and the height not bad. But wouldnt recommend to anyone to buy it if you are doing even church streaming.

I started my career as a freelance photographer at age 24. I retired at age 82. I have owned and used many tripods in that time span. I ordered this tripod because it seemed like a good choice for personal use. I was amazed when I opened the package and set it up. For small (as in light) cameras is professional quality and a super value. Excellent build quality and features. Sorry I did not buy one while in the business.
