Review on 📷 Ravelli APTL3 53" Lightweight Aluminum Tripod: Includes Carry Bag and Universal Smartphone Mount for Ultimate Portability and Versatility! by Joe Glass

Good entry level tripod. It's a bit bigger than I imagined when fully undressed, which is definitely a plus. I like the aluminum legs over the plastic legs as they feel more solid yet lighter. I wish it had 3 leg extensions instead of 2 so it's a bit more compact when not lengthened but that's not a deal breaker and I think it was done to make the construction more solid. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is mainly due to the detachable base that the camera connects to. It's a great idea so you can detach the device to use it by hand for a while without wasting time unscrewing it, but as this part is plastic the top plate wobbles a bit when it's not case should be. There's no point in using a tripod unless you can use a remote shutter release. It's not too bad, but it's noticeable, and I screwed up a few shots simply by pressing the button on my camera. The adjustments can be a bit jittery, but given that most of these things are plastic, that's to be expected, and I wouldn't expect more from something at this price point. Conclusion: If you are looking for something for everyday use or for beginners, you should go for it, if you are looking for something professional, you are in the wrong price range.
