Review on πŸ“· Polaroid 8" Heavy Duty Mini Tripod with Pan and Tilt Head for Cameras and Camcorders: A Sturdy Solution for Perfect Shots by Shawn Jimenez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bent under its own weight and the leg was poorly finished, causing the blister pack to rupture immediately.

Received to use with my Logitech C920 and was very disappointed. I was careful unboxing and installing as I read reviews of poor workmanship before ordering (silly) but unfortunately I don't have a pixie or fairy touch - which apparently is required to use this. I pulled the legs out, carefully pulling them out of the packaging and pulling the last leg that just came out of the rest of the telescope assembly, dropping the two copper plates that were supposed to limit the movement to the floor. Found them and reinstalled them when they came out and the leg itself is hanging down like it's an MMA fighter trying to fight a broken knee joint under its own weight. I did not dare to install the camera as it cannot support its own weight and will be returned for a refund. Hopefully if you order this you'll end up with a very, very light touch, a very light camera attached to it, and/or you'll end up with something better finished than mine. Pretty disappointed with something with Polaroid branding attached to it as otherwise it would have been perfect. No photo as I put it back in the box as soon as I was able to return it due to disappointment. Unfortunately, my ideal flow setup will have to wait for a better product.
