Review on 📸 Aluminum Travel Tripod - Extendable 57 inch Stand with Phone & Tablet Holder, Remote Shutter, Sport Camera Adapter - Ideal for Cell Phones, Tablets, and Cameras by Brandon Page

I bought this to start recording my son's basketball games. It pivots well enough, is strong enough and the independently adjustable legs make it easy to balance on the stands when needed. The use of a vertical extension is not suitable. The extension bar is the bar that stabilizes the legs. So when you lift the extension, the entire tripod shakes. It also doesn't have a hook for a cargo bag (or a £10 purse for me) to ensure stability, so this is a light-use option only. I ended up buying another one, but this one was good enough to convince me that a tripod was a good idea.
