- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseWhen I was standing the unit up it felt kinda flimsy. But once it was setup and properly locked in place it actually stands pretty well. It's nice n tall and can be used at a short height too. I use mine for my projector. It's perfect for that. I can adjust as needed to get the best placement and good projector angle. It's nice that it comes with a carrying case and can be packed away. Overall a good product for the price.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseI just needed a super cheap tripod that was light and small to pack around, but would still elevate my phone a reasonable distance off the ground. I was dubious on how the quality for the price would be, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been using it pretty steadily for a couple of months outside and indoors for holding my phone and it's been great. (You do need to buy a phone holder separately.) For under $20 it's been a fantastic deal. it's small enough that it drops into my pack, and light enough that I don't notice it's there at all. Again, it's fantastic for the price. 5-stars for the utility to price ratio. It's not 5-star performance, If you need super durability and smooth adjustability you need to pay up for that, but if you just need a quick, cheap tripod to hold a phone this thing is great. The bag that comes with it is decent too and has held up fine. There's room enough in the bag that I can toss in my phone gripper mount along with the tripod.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseThis tripod is like that one friend who's always up for an adventure, but secretly wants to go home early. It's lightweight and easy to carry, but don't expect it to hold up your DSLR like a pro wrestler. It's more like a gentle yoga instructor, guiding your camera into a stable pose.
The quick-release plate is a bit temperamental, like a cat chasing a laser pointer. Sometimes it works perfectly, and other times it's like, "Nope, not today." But hey, for the price, it's a decent sidekick for your photography escapades. Just don't expect it to save you from a spontaneous bear attack.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Color: BlackSize: 60-InchVerified PurchaseImpressive for the price! quality is there and it has all the features really needed for any camera or video set up.
Seems sturdy and opening box was impressive. Quick set up and will pretty much work for any tripod photo video needs.
Using this tripod as a back up. Using two tripods with both having a video camera on each. Various views and shooting positions. Have to say, was impressive for price right out of the box. I agree with others on positive review.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseThis is hands down the best tripod for all normal scenarios. It's so lightweight, about 1lb, 0.5kG, 500 grams, better than selfie stick phone tripods. I use this for DSLR with heavy lens and works just fine. Its easy to carry around. Recently I am doing more phone photography, astro photography and was looking for a phone tripod. After trying various; went back to this 50 inch Amazon Basics tripod. Phone tripods look cute, but flimsy, tip over with slight win and break the phone. This tripod is lighter like other carbon fiber etc. tripods for a very low price. Highly recommend this. I bought it originally in 2017 and after 8 years, regular use, its still going strong.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2025Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseMine didn’t come with the remote control controller, but it is very sturdy. I haven’t tried it with a phone, but I have used it with a bird spotting scope and it’s the perfect size for that! Surprisingly, it was able to hold more than the weight limit since my scope is almost 27 pounds it doesn’t tip over or try to lean. The plastic on the legs is pretty good and it holds them in place. It’s very portable and fits in my bag perfectly.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Color: BlackSize: 60-InchVerified PurchaseI'm using this for a laser level, and moving it up and down frequently. The gear on the elevation handle stripped with less than a month of use. It's still a functional tripod, but I would have expected that to last longer.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseThis tripod was very cheap and very versatile for stuff I was working on, I just needed something for my camera and phone to be held up on and I was very impressed by its durability, quality, and the height of 50 inches works fantastic for stuff I am working on.

5.0 out of 5 stars EL MEJOR
Color: BlackSize: 60-InchVerified PurchaseEl mejor tripode que he comprado, hasta compré otro para regalarlo. Tiene muchas opciones de usarse, es muy ligero, tiene muy buena estabilidad si lo usas para celular, no lo he usado con otro dispositivo. Tiene muy buena alura. Es genial en verdad. Si estás buscando precio, el precio lo vale, he comprado muchos tripies que se rompen al año de uso y este me ha durado mucho más. Lo recomiendo mucho!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente calidad
Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseUn tripode con una excelente calidad, esta hecho de un buen material, muy resistente, es sencillo de utilizar y tiene muchas articulaciones de movimiento, su funda es muy útil al momento de transportarlo, támbien cuenta con una buena altura y sus seguros para estabilizarlo son muy eficaces, sin duda un gran producto comparado con su precio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, bad reviews were wrong for me!
Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseI was worried this wouldn’t work for me, and the few bad reviews had me a bit shook but I took a chance and it is great for the price! I have a canon sl1 so it is a lighter weight dslr to begin with; so I can’t speak on how well this would work for a heavier camera, but it is stable and I had no issues setting it up or swivelling the camera like others said they had problems with. When I set the tripod up I did swivel it /rotate it before putting my camera on it, and I found that if you adjust the screws, it loosens it up to your liking (you can set it so it doesn’t swivel at all) and I just warmed it up a bit by swinging it left to right a few times. Once I got the camera on, it swivels smoothly! No issues! I love how you can extend the legs easily, and it packs up into the bag with no issues! Nice and lightweight and easy to use. I’m honestly really happy with the price for what I got, if you run into problems, maybe request a replacement

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon basics doesn't disappoint
Color: ChampagneSize: 50-InchVerified PurchaseI've gotten Amazon basics products before and I'm never let down. You know you won't be disappointed. The tripod is lightweight, you can lift it with just 2 fingers. The finish on the aluminum is nice and the tripod looks good to just look at. It's also versatile you can make many adjustments with the leg height and the head position, so whatever you're gonna attach to the head you can have it sit at pretty much any angle. All these things and at this price is unbeatable.
