Its lightweight and easy to use. It stays stable and not flimsy once have camera on it. The assembly being super easy and did not take much time however the only down side being that I would have to take off the camera or phone connector from the top otherwise it will not fit within the storage bag. I wish the storage bag would have been slightly longer to accommodate the tripod as it within it saving time to install and uninstall the camera connector every time.
The handle and rest of the manoeuvrability of the tripod has been brilliant and no issues so far.

The tripod comes with a phone camera remote, a carrying bag, and basic instructions.
The tripod is made from a lightweight but sturdy feeling plastic so a strong breeze could probably knock the tripod over but it would survive the fall. There is a circle level built into the base for making sure the tripod is level when you set it up. The legs are secured via friction when you open them and this as worked good for me so far. The legs do expand/shrink and have friction lever locks for securing them (two per leg).
The tripod head does have pan, pitch, and angle locking screws. These allow you to point the tripod where you need it then lock it in place. Additionally, there is a mount screw and a built in camera holder which sits flat on the head.
The camera holder works well for holding my Pixel Pro 7 in it's Spigen Tough Armor case. I find it easiest to put the edge of my phone into the top prong of the phone holder then push up to expand it and slip the phone in to secure it. My only issue with the built-in holder is you are not be able to angle your phone up or down as it holds the phone so that pushing the head up or down angles the phone left or right (see example picture). It would have been nice if there was a way to have the phone holder oriented so moving the head up and down would move the phone in the same direction.
The remote says it works with iOS and Android phones, although some phones may require additional software. There is a link provided in the instructions to the necessary software, should you need it. The remote worked perfectly with the default camera app on my Pixel Pro 7 after I paired it through Bluetooth.
The bag is a simple sling bag that feels like it's made out of think nylon. It feels sturdy enough for carrying the tripod, but feels like it would be easy to tear also. It fits the tripod easily and has a small slip bead for closing and securing the open end of the bag.
Overall, I'm happy with tripod and remote. If you are looking for a basic and light tripod then you can't go wrong with this one.

This is a nicely made, compact, and lightweight camera tripod. It seems sturdy and includes a leveling bubble that will ensure that you are set up straight and even. This would be a good travel stand but it is lightweight so I suspect it will wear out over repeated use.
Overall this is a great compromise between ease of use and ruggedness. It will serve most photographers well and I cannot wait to use it to take night shots of the sky!

I use this tripod for my mobile phone.
PROS: It’s very light and made with what appears to be plastic & aluminum. It comes with a carrying case. There is a remote control for connecting to your phone’s Bluetooth. The legs length/shorten to meet your needs and it has 3-way pan head for 360° horizontal rotation and adjustable tilt angles.
CONS: Doesn’t seem sturdy enough for a heavy camera.
Overall it works perfect for my cell phone and my needs.

This performs nicely and grips my IPhone well. It's not a heavy duty tripod, but works well for my purposes

This is a great tripod for twenty five dollars. Any more and I wouldn’t think so.
It has a lot of features and folds up really small. It comes with a bag the might double as a back pack but I could not fit it on. The bag is nice for storage but I am not sure it would last long in a rough environment.
The legs extend four times the length of what they are folded for a really nice adjustable height. They are quite small so the whole rig can flex easily. The head can pan or rotate side to side and up and down. This is more to find your focal point rather than videography.
The best feature of this tripod is its built in phone holder. Which is a perfect use for this tripod. Indoor phone mount. Everything works and as long as you are expecting to lightly use it this is a great tripod.

Like a pervious reviewer I wanted the tripod for my spotting scope, Initially I was concerned that it would not support the scope (2kg) which is well under the maximum manufacturer specifications of 3kg. the tripod is very light but it seems fine, I've not had chance to fully use the tripod and time will tell if the quality of the plastic fittings for the mount and extension of the legs cope with use. I have since used it a few times and it copes well with the scope, but just as important their customer services are a delight to access with regard to any issues.
