JOILCANTripod Camera Tripods, 74" Tripod for Camera Phone Video Recording, Heavy Duty Cameras Tripod Stand, Professional Travel DSLR Tripods Compatible with Canon iPhone, Max Load 15 LB

I separately ordered two of these for a friend who does video work. He is so impressed with the quality, durability, weightless, and convenience of these stands. The cost is so low for the quality and versatility. I ordered one and after he received it, he asked me to order another one. This stand is well worth it!!

Really happy with this tripod. It feels solid and well-built, but still lightweight enough to carry around easily. The height is impressive—it extends higher than most tripods in this price range, which is great for getting overhead or eye-level shots without much hassle.The ball head moves smoothly and locks in place securely. Setup and adjustments are quick and straightforward, and it holds my camera steady with no wobble. The carrying case is a nice bonus too.Overall, it’s a great value for the features you get. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly tripod.

Decent quality for the price. I appreciate how it comes with 2 mounting plates and a cellphone bracket. Light-duty usage is what this tripod is all about, especially when it's fully extended to the 74" height... The telescopic legs do get rather thin when fully extended, but still pretty solid. There is a bubble level which can be used for gross measurement. I'm very happy with this device.

I have used other more expensive and more metal component (heavier) tripods similar to this one. I had gotten out of my hobby for awhile and have just gotten back into it, so I thought I would try this tripod.First off, for those that have never used a panhead on a tripod, the knobs and levers do certain things.I have seen reviews where people have complained that the "elastic knob" doesn't hold the camera up, it will droop. It's not supposed to. That's not the "tightening screw/lever" for up and down, it's for panning side to side. You will want to pan at different tensions to control the speed of panning without jerkiness, hence the "elastic knob". Also, you might want to set the tripod legs at a certain position that may not be a good direction for the lens. This is where you can loosen the elastic knob, turn the panhead side to side to aim your camera where you want to, then tighten it down to hold it from moving side to side. The legs stay where they were, on uneven ground where you might have uneven leg extensions so that the tripod is level for panning this is very helpful to not have to move the whole tripod itself and just move the panhead on top.The long thin handle that comes uninstalled screws into the panhead and is what controls the up and down of the camera/lens, that will tighten more than enough to hold any dSLR and lens combo without drooping. The handle is long and thin so you have something to grab and position the up/down of the camera/lens and then just twist to tighten to hold your position. Very useful design.I advise people that have never used a panhead on a tripod to do a quick google search to know exactly how they work, I'm sure you will be pleased with this tripod after having learned how to use it properly.The tripod itself. Lightweight, good. Height, good. Sturdiness, ok. But, it does have a hook under the panhead that you can hang your camera bag or anything else on, and that WILL add a bunch of stability to it. So, definitely not a drawback.Maybe a bit too much plastic (lightweight), so be careful over tightening things, not necessary to do that, either. Also, I wouldn't advise being too rough with it. That doesn't mean it's not a good tripod, I think it is. But, it is a lightweight one with a bit more plastic than a high end professional one would have, and it is at a very attractive price point. So be aware that plastic breaks easier than metal (duh, right?).The quick release plates are a nice add-on, I have used them before. They make it easy to remove the camera for various reasons while using the tripod, but I don't leave them on the camera when I am not using the tripod, I take them off. You'll understand why after using it a few times.All in all, after having used high end tripods with panheads in the past and this one now, I think it is a very good tripod at this price point, hard to beat. I do like the compact and lightweight aspect of it. I have only just received it, so if anything changes with repeated use I will update this review.EDIT: I should mention, as to the stability, I never extend the smallest, bottom legs on any tripod, regardless of how heavy duty it is unless I have to, which I almost never need to do. I'll extend the post the panhead sits on before I extend those bottom legs.The reason for this becomes obvious once you put regular use on a tripod with any height to it. It is the biggest contributor to instability on any tripod, keep 'em closed up unless you absolutely need to use them, then just be aware of how much more unstable those legs are going to make the tripod, any tripod.

I love this tripod. I recently broke my other tripod by another company and I was very concerned about which tripod to buy next because i do see a lot of good reviews and bad ones on a lot of the options of tripods I was looking at but I am extremely pleased by this one so far the best quality and tightness when it comes to turning or rotating it a certain angle and for the size it is really perfect and tall. Easy to use and it comes with a lot of attachments plus a wireless remote so you can take pictures easily just by a click of a button instead of trying to press the button on your phone or if your using it to take pictures from distance the device can be held in your palm. You will not go wrong with this product. Definitely recommend

I am quite tall and this tripod has helped my back immensely. The most common tripods can only put a mounted camera up to eye level at around 5'8" (1.72m). This one can extend to a height around 7' (2.14m).And yet it collapses to 21"(53cm) and comes with its own bag.Thank you for making a tall person product.Also don't forget the value of the leveling bubble and carrying handle built in to the tripod. Great value, I couldn't pass it up and I couldn't be happier.

When I was a full-time professional photographer, I used a much more expensive tripod. However, this lightweight tripod, which came with carrying bag, phone attachment is absolutely incredible for the money.
