A good value for a travel tripod
Bought this as a "throw-away" tripod for my last journey to eastern Europe with the idea that if needed, it could be left behind. It's cheaper than my regular carbon-fiber tripod though not quite as sturdy but a lot lower cost. It comes complete with a smart-phone clamp and quick-release place and folds up quite nicely. Even comes with the proper wrenches. However, the feet unscrew easily and one must constantly make sure they down come out. There are a few other little things that easily loosen but they are minor and if you are aware, you shouldn't have issues.
One thing I like is that this tripod extends a little higher than my other small travel sticks but, like other than my larger tripod, there's no easy way to get the camera near to the ground other than upside-down which looks great in an ad, but has always been a PIA in practices. IMO, when the legs can go nearly to the ground, the column should be able to be split so that one doesn't have to carry a short center column nor try to work the camera glass-awkward.
