This is clearly aimed at the budget end of the market with its £30 price tag, but that end isn't so budget in quality these days.

As mini tripods go, it is okay, but there are a few areas for improvement.

First the good, the legs themselves are aluminium, and they are fairly well-built so they do not flex. They are also fairly light.

When set up, the entire tripod is quite stable, at least for phones or action cams. Even at its maximum height of around 60cm.

The head has a quick release mechanism. Which makes putting the item on easy.

It folds down and stows easily in its bag, making it nice and portable, easy to store along with any other recording/shooting gear.

The problems though, most of the catches are plastic, the ones that hold the legs at the set length, work fine, but they are not the quickest to release. They do hold fine, but being plastic, I wonder how durable they will be.

The head is not replaceable and is pretty much plastic. As a result, the pan on the head isn't really suitable for video panning, it just isn't smooth enough.

I did find the centre column lock/unlock mechanism fiddly to use

A phone attachment is supplied that is functional, this would be a great start, but may need upgrading sooner rather than later.

On the whole, this is fine as a starter tripod for lightweight cameras, it might take a DSLR with a small lens, but it is better suited to smaller cameras and phones.
