As long as you don't overload it, you'll be happy

I've long wanted a small tripod that can be attached anywhere, mainly for use. with my cell phone or my light Fujifilm X100F. Here's the trick! The first thing I did was screw an Arca-sized clip over the top of my existing head so I could quickly attach my camera. This plate does not interfere with the built-in clip that holds the phone. It's actually a pretty smart design. Now I would give that 4.5 stars if I could because the ball pull handle, when fully locked, still allows the ball to spin under moderate loads. That wasn't a problem with my setup, but I didn't want to give it more weight. While I understand that this tripod is designed for light gear, I feel the bullet isn't too tight, mainly because the materials are cheap. Also, the cushioning feels a little light on your feet, too light to move. It gets a full 5 stars because it's really made for light equipment and I'm picky about the stiffness of this tripod.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
