Very good quality: Tripods

I bought a cheaper brand first so I got what I paid for. Went back and bought this one. I am now very satisfied with the product.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Not worth $65, good for tripods

Not worth $65. Not very well made, the locking mechanism is unreliable and the grip is weak. Sorry, go back to the drawing board or lower the price to $10.00.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Quality

Photo and video not worth it Accessories

The tripod sucks. It doesn't hold up very well to my care. That's the main reason I got it. So I can only use it as a selfie stick, which I could buy a lot cheaper.

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Hard to say

$60 camera and video accessories not worth it

So for $30 it's good. $60 is way too much and they lose their appeal pretty quickly. Smaller phones are mostly fine, but I've been using the S9 and after a while it started not supporting the weight.

Pros
  • Special
Cons
  • Secret

Not worth $60 for accessories

So for what it is it's great for around $30. $60 is way too much and they lose their appeal pretty quickly. Smaller phones are mostly fine, but I've been using the S9 and after a while it started not supporting the weight.

Pros
  • Precise positioning with integrated ball head
Cons
  • Appearance

Absolute junk

Complete scrap. Completely disappointed and annoyed by Joby about this robbery. Needed something for the Christmas holidays as I left mine at home. That was all they had in mind. Perfect shit. It can't properly support the weight of the Galaxy S20+ without a lot of force on the lock nut. The twist lock at the top doesn't work properly and keeps falling off. It's really small - not very useful either as a selfie stick or as a tripod. The remote connected slowly and didn't work half the time…

Pros
  • A smaller version of the GripTight PRO TelePod, comes with a GripTight One mount for mobile vlogging and a selfie stick. Also works as a stationary stand
Cons
  • Weight

It was very good for its intended purpose.

Edit 9/23/21: I downgraded it to 2 stars, gave one to my daughter who uses it all the time and it's starting to fall apart. The cell mount was removed first and snapped onto the hinge. The next step was connecting with a swivel ball (see attached picture). The NASCAR band is holding him together for now. Edit 06/16/2020: I have changed my rating to 5 stars after more experience with the device. My concerns about the telescope lock were unfounded. He turned out to be durable. And the more I…

Pros
  • TelePod Mobile - JOBY 1 year warranty
Cons
  • Big and bulky
