Review on Bosch BT150 Compact Extendable Adjustable by Andre Hawkins

This is a great stand for the price. I think it gets bad reviews because people don't understand a few things: 1. It's a tool stand. It's not really for cameras. While it works well with something small like an iPhone or GoPro (you'll need a proper mount), it's not designed for freedom of movement or being held at awkward angles, instead it's designed to sit flat, snap into place, and then be fine-tuned .Height. If you are looking for a camera tripod you will find that this product has the wrong characteristics for this application. As this is not a full range ball bearing head mount, there is a separate locking pin for everything INCLUDING A HANDLE THAT IS RODED FOR FORWARD/REVERSE TIGHTENING. I almost returned it for that reason, and although it's pictured on the side of the box (yup), I've seen pictures from tilted cameras, so I'm not the only one who missed it. Familiarize yourself with what tightens and only loosen what you regulate. Of course, it won't be strong if you forget to tighten all the pins.3. This is a $30 booth. I'm beyond happy and it exceeded my expectations as a new homeowner getting deeper into DIY (height listed doesn't include a lift which gives you another 14 inches or so, the mini omni-directional level will tell you if the floor is off is), but it does contain plastic parts like the lift handle and leg locks that I wouldn't call heavy-duty. While they don't feel cheap and cheap, if I were a contractor I wouldn't toss this in the back of my truck with a bunch of other tools and expect it to last. If you use it as intended. It works great and is easy to fold and store. Professionals and photographers will regret making compromises here.
