Very sturdy and durable. Easy to use.

I got a good deal on an open-box option. It came in in its original wrapping - never been used. That said, I would pay list price for this tripod. It is a 10X improvement over my old tripod with its cheap plastic "quick release" gismo that wobbled all over the place. This one has all metal alloy components that fit together just right. It is very sturdy, versatile and can easily handle my Sony DSLR camera.My response to one reviewer's comment about instability when he pressed the camera's shutter button: get a wired or wireless remote shutter release. They are inexpensive and solve that problem no matter what kind of tripod you have. Go ahead, spend $10 on an item that every professional photographer uses.Back to my review of the Cambofoto TM264 tripod, I trust it to hold my spotting scope for bird watching, gun sighting and even moon watching. The bubble-level and 360-degree ball movement are great improvements. This is a quality piece of hardware for the price. Highly recommended.

Great product. Very versatile and stable! Lightweight too.

Très bon trépied, solide et réglable à volonté, je recommande !

This tripod is inexpensive and works well. It is easy to adjust and folds up for compact storage or travel. I also like the red anodized aluminum accents as they make the adjustment components strong and wear resistant. I use the tripod with a phone mount for filming YouTube videos and it's perfect.

Ne Mega gute Qualität bei der Bestellung und den Bilder für den oreiß hatte ich keine hohe Erwartungen das es gut seihen kann aber würde vom gegenteihel überzeugt Mega gute Verarbeitung keine scharfen Kanten alles Mega top und vom Gewicht her extrem super endlich wird meine Kamera stabil gehalten kann nur jeden vom Kauf sehr sehr raten es zu tuhen

It won't replace professional equipment, but it's a good product for the money. Easy to adjust, lightweight, compact and pretty convenient in use. It works good with the camera 7 kg. For me it works perfectly for indoor photo shooting.

God dammit, if you are looking for an inexpensive tripod that does the job perfectly, this is the one you need.I am a keen amateur photographer, and am planning a YouTube channel, both of which require a decent tripod. I had a Hama thing I bought about twenty years ago - the guy in the camera shop near Warren Street here in dear-old London flogged it to me; no doubt trying to get shot of stock he really did not need or want.That tripod was good enough for a long holiday/photography-trip in the very eastern reaches of Turkey etc. It was OK, but the handle that stuck out to allow one to pan and tilt was crap and stripped its thread on my return, rendering that handle useless.However, I really did not need a new tripod until now (for my YouTube channel), so I hunted around a little on Amazon, saw this gorgeous item, had a think for a while, and then bought the thing.From what I can see, given the high degree of utility this tripod yields, and given its high manufacturing standard, this is just a sensational piece of technology. Very attractive to look at, very well made, solid as a rock and very easy to set-up/adjust. if you understand tripods you will know what I mean the very moment you get your paws on the thing. If you don't (because you are just starting out with serious photography/videography), I assure you that you will understand sooner rather than later.I won't go into any more detail, and yes I could leave photos as well, but they would not show anything particularly different to the photos you see on the product page here (I have yet to test it out in an, um, uncompromising situation).Final point: this comes with a very good carry bag, into which all the bits fit a treat.Again, recommended whole heartedly; kudos to Cambofoto for knowing their market, and for knowing the technology that people like me require.Buy it, buy it, buy it.

Cavalletto stabile, con gambe telescopiche e regolazioni di altezza e inclinazione. Già presente anche la piastra che si aggancia alla macchina fotografica. Prodotto perfetto per ogni esigenza anche professionale secondo la mia esperienza.

I actually bought this as a gift for someone else so I am not sure what they will think of it, but it appeared to be of good quality and as described. $1,

Been using nearly on a daily basis for several months. Tripod head soon needs to be replaced but extremely stable and can take A LOT of abuse

I bought this a few months ago and mounted my camera right away and tried it out.I liked everything about it. It is so tall, it's very adjustable, it can be a monopod too.I put my gear aside and was building two continual macro lights.I also got my camera rigged the way I want it.Today I gathered my equipment and prepared to take some wildlife video.I was standing next to the tripod and as I turned back towards it I saw it leaning faster and faster!I lunged for it and caught it right before my rig smashed into a cantelope-size rock, Sigma 16mm lens first.I tested the legs and they easily collapse after just light pressure.My camera alone was not enough to alert me to this defect.The weight capacity of the tripod is listed at 14 pounds, my rig weighs about 4 pounds.I dug out my old Ambico aluminum tripod that Amazon purchase history shows I bought in 2006.I casted you aside for plastic garbage Ambico and for that I humbly apologize.You are still functioning perfectly.

Are you kidding? For $21 this is a steal. It's nearly identical to several other models from other manufacturers selling for MUCH more. This thing is well built, sturdy, and well worth the money. I've gone through my share of table top tripods and this is by far the best.First, let's get some precise measurements. The weight with the included ball head is 9.6 oz. The folded size depends on how you measure. With the ball head in the upright position, I get 10.1" from the bottom of the legs to the top surface of the ball plate (not counting the 1/4-20 which sticks up another 0.2" or so). But, if you reposition the ball plate so it's 90° off to the side, the folded length becomes 9.8".The largest diameter is the locking ring for the legs, at about 1.75" diameter. With the legs extended, each leg protrudes 5.5" from the center point of the tripod, providing a footprint diameter of about 11". The maximum working height to the ball plate, with center column extended, is 15.6". The height with the center column retracted is 11.2". But you can go a bit lower by releasing the leg locking ring and lowering the center column until it nearly touches the ground, then locking it again. The minimum working height in this position is 9.7". Surprisingly, this option is not mentioned in the manual or on the Amazon page.The included cell phone mount is spring loaded with rubber grips on both ends. It looks like the maximum width of the device it can hold is about 3.25". The thickness it can accommodate is a bit less than 1/2" - I measured it at 11 mm. So it can handle phones with some cases as long at they're not too thick. There are rubber lips at the front edge of each end of the mount to keep the phone from slipping out. You could mount a thicker phone/case setup if you don't mind those lips holding the phone instead of the phone being in the 11mm slots behind the lips. The cell phone holder provides a strong grip on the phone and has a 1/4-20 socket on the rear and on one end.For construction, the legs, center column and ball head are all aluminum. It feels very rigid and well made. There are a few plastic parts in the locking mechanisms, but everything feels very solid. The center column extension locking collar has a rubber grip ring on it that is not glued to the collar itself. As a result, if you try to lock it too hard, the rubber grip ring slips. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but it does lock very securely, and keeps you from over-tightening.Balance: as with any of this style tripod, balance, and a level surface, are important because you cannot adjust the leg length at all. I tried it with my Lumix GH5 and a 35-100 telephoto zoom lens and found it very stable when properly balanced. Note that this requires knowing where your center of gravity (COG) is. Aiming my lens at the position between two legs was the least stable. It did not tip over on its own, but felt very near to the tipping point. If I aimed the lens over one of the outstretched legs, it was more stable. But, my GH5 camera's tripod socket is offset to one side so the camera itself is not balanced over the tripod center. This meant that, between the camera offset and the lens weight, my gear's COG was to the front/right of the camera body. When I positioned one tripod leg under my guess for the COG position, it became extremely stable and not remotely prone to tipping in any direction. If your camera's tripod socket is in the middle of the body, then you'll want to aim your lens directly over one leg.Keep in mind that this is a tabletop tripod, not a field tripod. You may have difficulty with balance if you want to use it on uneven ground. There are other mini tripods that might be better suited to that use, but you could also bring some shims along to put under the legs of this one to level it up. It doesn't need to be perfectly level, but you probably don't want any one leg more than an inch higher that the others. Probably less if you're using the full center column extension and you have heavier gear. You can get away with more if you're using a cell phone.Camera Mount: The ball head is small, lightweight, and not the highest quality, but perfectly usable. My camera is held very securely with only moderate tightening of the thumbscrew. There is no quick disconnect plate so if you want that feature you'd have to add your own plate. The top plate of the included ball head unscrews and leaves the 1/4-20 screw available for mounting your own plate. Or, you can unscrew the entire ball head, exposing another 1/4-20 screw, and then you can mount your own ball head. Of course, doing so would add to the size and weight.Other: The legs have a small rubber pad at each end which seems very grippy and keeps the tripod securely in place. It comes with a strap which seems to me kind of useless for such a small tripod. There's no way to remove it so I may cut it off if I get annoyed with it. The cell phone holder comes in a zip lock bag, along with an Allen wrench. I could find no Allen head screws anywhere on the cell phone holder or anywhere on the tripod at all! The tripod comes with a carrying bag which, while it's a nice touch, I don't find it all that useful. To me a tripod needs to be easily accessible. Keeping it in its own carrying bag, in addition to being inside a gear bag or backpack, just means it takes more time to get it out.Bottom line - this tripod is well made, solid, and versatile. It folds up small enough to fit in any camera bag and holds a good sized camera. I'm frankly amazed at what a high quality piece of gear this is for $21. Especially when others are selling similar models from $40 to $70! This really is a no brainer. Just buy it.
