I'm actually a bit surprised at the quality of the construction. The tripod itself is as sturdy as I would expect from a lower-end tripod. The bendable neck flexes readily but stays put once situated (one of the main concerns when I bought it). The clamp holding the phone can be maneuvered almost with one hand, indicating ease of play, but the phone is very firmly held in place. The phone I used to test it was an iPhone 6, to give an idea of the dimensions. The clamp has about 3/16 in clearance See full review
