Acuvar 50-Inch Aluminum Camera Tripod: Sturdy and Versatile Review

Excellent! It's very durable and even comes in a nice little carry-on bag. The phone clip fits my large phone with case well. Highly recommend getting this!

The part that holds the phone broke off on first use and if you are new to photo equipment then REFUSE TO BUY this b/ c instructions if you can call the instructions were useless! It's a small piece of glossy paper with detailed illustrations and that's it! I finally found a YouTube video in the box of a guy showing how to use it and the part holding the phone broke when he installed it and it was the same part that broke on mine .

Remember you only pay $13 for this. You get what you pay for. The carry case and phone holder are great for the price. The tripod is light and very thin. Holds (some) phones and maybe a light point and shoot camera, but no DSLRs or anything like that. The phone clip works on small phones but doesn't really fit big phones like the Galaxy Note 5 in Otterbox. The clamp was at its limit and I had to remove the rubber tip to attach it. Add a light ring or a heavy case to your phone and the mounting…

This tripod is much larger than I expected but I'm happy with it. I bought this tripod because I can't afford an expensive YouTube camera right now. I use this tripod to record on my iPhone. The tripod is very light and easy to set up. Comes with a cute carrying bag so you can easily take the tripod anywhere. I use this tripod to record my exercises for my YouTube fitness channel. It's great that I no longer have to ask people to record me because the videos are shaking. With this tripod I…

As I write this I'm trying to remember that it's only $14. This tripod lacks quality in my opinion and I'm sure that's where the price comes from. Does it work as a tripod for your phone. Yes. Can this endure any abuse or crash. no When I first installed it, I forgot to tighten one of the clamps. A few seconds later the tripod and my phone were on the ground. He fell into a carpeted room. One of the tripod legs bent. It's listed as a 50" tripod, but I actually think it performs much better at a

The leg that the camera or phone is standing on does not sit flat, the hinge will not allow it. There may be a manufacturing defect in what I received and others may be fine, but it's more of a design flaw. So that the photo/video is not crooked, it must be rotated 90 degrees and then tilted either up or down. Otherwise, the image will be flipped when you wear it as intended. Legs not spread wide enough for stability. Legless legs is generally acceptable, but if you stretch your legs and sneeze

I needed something light, cheap and fast and it was just the thing. An example of what you get for what you pay for, which in this case isn't much. I don't blame it for that as I didn't expect it to be a great device and it isn't. The reason 3 stars rather than 5 lives up to that expectation is because I don't want anyone to think this is a great tripod. It's mostly adjustable and if you have the time and patience it will get the job done, but that's about it. Pros: Very light Nothing broke or…

Arrived on time and undamaged. Let me just say, if you only spend $14 on a tripod, meet your expectations. I knew what I was getting when I bought it and it was exactly what I was looking for. Cheap but well made tripod, light weight. I didn't expect this tripod to withstand abuse/abuse but with proper care it will hold up well. Telescopic legs are good but can easily We use them to mount phones and tablets for a variety of purposes and they do an excellent job of providing a wide enough base…

Pro:1) Works with my iPhone 6 plastic case2) Can be used as a document camera (well, sort of). Because you need to spread the base to stabilize the tripod. So if you bend the phone holder 90 degrees, you will definitely lock the two legs on the screen. It's not ideal if you bought that tripod to turn your iPhone into a scanner (using the Scanner Pro app). But it would be ok to make a YouTube video. For this reason I'm deducting a star for the rating. 3) Yes, you can detach the phone holder and…

I bought a 50 inch aluminum camera tripod from eCostConnection (credit list) to experiment with iPhone photography. And was very excited when it arrived complete to unbox and install. Then I could see the future... and it was ominous! Short answer: While I was excited after receiving/opening this tripod, it's a bit of a disappointment. While I can't verify what hasn't happened yet, this is a rather weak product. While I really like the design, I just wish the item was more durable. Overall I…
