Highlights
- Working height 17.1 to 57.1 in. with 4-section twist-lock legs
- One detachable leg doubles as a monopod
- Pan-tilt head with 360-degree pan, 90-degree tilt and bubble level
- Arca-type quick release plate plus phone holder
- Weighs 2.78 lb, folds to 18.3 in., holds up to 6.6 lb
Best for
A beginner or phone-based creator who wants an inexpensive tripod that also works as a monopod.
Things to consider
- 6.6 lb load capacity is fine for most DSLRs but tight for heavier lenses and rigs.
- Max height of 57.1 in. is below eye level for most adults.
- Built from metal and plastic, so expect less rigidity than pricier aluminum or carbon tripods.

Skip it if you need the build quality or service network of high-end cinema brands.
