Amazon Basics 60-inch Lightweight DSLR Tripod with Bag, Black

Very nice product for the price. Material quality is good and its extremely light. Very easy to set up with the great quick release system.

I somehow lost my last tripod that I use for making YouTube videos. I found this one and like it so much more than my past one. For the cost you can't beat it. It's nice and tall and sturdy in the wind. The included remote control is really handy also for selfies or taking videos. Works great and I would get again.

The Amazon Basics 50-inch Lightweight Camera Mount Tripod Stand with Bag is a budget-friendly and portable solution that offers convenience for amateur photographers and hobbyists. While it excels in affordability and ease of transport, it comes with some considerations, especially regarding stability when used with heavier camera equipment. That being said, it's proven to be good quality as it has lasted me 4+ years with no damage. I especially recommend this tripod to be used with phones, not so much for professional cameras but more on that in a little bit. Affordability and Portability: The standout feature of this tripod is its affordability, making it an attractive choice for those on a budget. The lightweight design adds to its appeal, providing portability that makes it easy to carry around for on-the-go photography sessions. The inclusion of a carry bag further enhances its convenience during transportation. Furthermore, this tripod is very compact making it easy to put in backpacks if you choose not to use the carrying back like I did. Height Range and Flexibility: The tripod's ability to expand to a height of 50 inches offers a decent range for various shooting scenarios. This flexibility is advantageous for capturing different perspectives and compositions, making it suitable for a variety of photography styles. Lightweight Nature and Stability Concerns: While the lightweight nature of the tripod is advantageous for portability, it introduces some stability concerns. The tripod, at times, can be a bit unstable, especially when extended to its maximum height. This makes it less suitable for use with heavier camera equipment, as it may wobble or tip over. Due to its lightweight construction and potential stability issues, it's essential to exercise caution when considering this tripod for use with expensive or heavier camera setups. For those with high-end equipment, investing in a more robust tripod may be a better choice to ensure the safety of your equipment.

Very nice little tripod. Works perfectly. Easy to use and camera fits nicely. Can't wait to see some of the shots when I develop the film!

I snagged it on Prime Day, and for the bargain price, I was expecting something flimsy, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. It's the perfect blend of portability, functionality, and value. The best feature is how incredibly lightweight it is. It comes with a convenient carrying bag, and I can take it anywhere without it feeling like a burden. Setting it up is a breeze—the leg locks are quick and secure, and I can get it to the perfect height in under a minute. The 3-way pan-and-tilt head works smoothly, allowing for great control when framing shots, whether I'm shooting landscape photos or recording video. It feels stable enough for my mirrorless camera and works perfectly for my smartphone with a simple adapter. It’s an incredibly versatile piece of gear. Overall, I couldn't be happier. If you're a hobbyist, a traveler, or just someone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use tripod without breaking the bank, this is an absolute must-buy, especially if you can get it on sale. Highly recommended!

Good tripod for the price, folds down pretty small so good portability. Quick release is easy to use, and should be compatible with anything you need it for. Stands at a good height when fully extended and feels fairly sturdy. Overall a good product and well worth the price if youre looking for a budget tripod.

I have been a run of the mill character dabbling with video and camera equipment here and there for at least 10 years. Nothing serious, I mean I have owned a number of compact cameras and 3 or 4 video cameras, all run of the mill consumer items. For different activities and at one time or another I have also had different accessories to go along. One thing that most anyone can justify is owning a tripod, and I have owned a number of cheap tripods over the years. But these cheap tripods fit the bill for my needs at the time. Recently I purchased the most expensive camera I have ever owned, which is still just an entry level basic DSLR. (Nikon D5300). I ordered this stand with the camera, and I was dismayed from the moment that I unboxed it. The Nikon is only a $900 camera and lens, but that is still way too much money to go setting on this stand. Aside from the fear I have of the possibility that the the shoe might accidentally get sprung out of its seat, stability is not this tripods strong suite when you are trying to take pictures. This tripod is suitable for compact cameras, internet cams, maybe small video recorders, handy cam type stuff. This stand IS NOT suitable for even the cheapest entry level DSLR cameras. If you are going to spend $600 to $1400 on an entry level camera setup, you owe it to yourself to buy a decent tripod. Something in the $100 - $150 range at least. I ordered a Manfrotto mono pod and will likely get a proper Tripod a bit later on. I was about to ship this stand back for a refund the same night it came when I found a job for it at which it excels and makes it well worth the price. I mounted my external flash on it and it is perfect. The tripod gives you the ability to hold the flash in nearly any position you could ever want. (For a total armature). You don't need to worry about vibrations or anything else when all its doing is sitting quietly in a corner holding your Flash. As well, it's a pretty darn good Mic stand as well. My rode Mic pro mounts to it as well and for that reason, I think I am actually going to order a second one for the flash and the Mic. What makes this tripod so excellent for these duties is precisely because they ARE so cheap. If you need a fast cheap way to hold multiple flashes, and maybe a mic or two, it's hard to see how you could get anything better for the price. Compared to other tripods in this price category, (I have owned a few over the years), this one is actually a pretty good. I can't say that its the BEST of the cheap stands on the market, but it is certainly better than all but maybe one other stand that I have owned, (for cheap stands). I would say this stand is suitable as I said previously, for small compact cameras, net cams, small handy cam type video cameras, external flash's and mic's. This tripod will give you some pretty good flexibility. However this is not the stand you want for even entry level DSLR camera and video equipment. So,,,,4 stars for small consumer products, 4.5 stars for external flashes and mics, 1 star for it's advertised 6.6 lbs capacity for cameras and Video equipment. If you average those starts out, I think a 3 star overall rating is fair.

It worked perfectly for my needs as a second tripod. It's lightweight, well-built, and small. I have a Fujifilm camera with a heavy 18-135mm lens, and it supports it perfectly.
