Great phone holder for any situation portable hand holding device love it for table use and outside use on a ground or up on a tree that can grip with its flexible bendable stands
Fresh out of the box, I attached what will probably be the heaviest thing this little tri-legged fellow will hold, a small projector. This projector weighs about 11 ounces, and the tri-pod carried it fine. While its marked as being able to carry about 5lbs, I doubt many will need it to carry that much weight. It flexes fine and the plastic connectors feel solid. Im curious to see how they'll do with time, as it appears to operate using friction. As for the key reason I got it, it works very well. With its flexy limbs and rubber grips, it holds fairly well to obscure surfaces. My plan is to use it while camping, so I may attach it to a tree/bush/tent etc.. to watch movies with the projector. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is due to the rubber pad on the quick release plate. It deteriorated slightly while I was affixing the projector to it, as shown in the photos. While its not the consumers responsibility, I do feel it would be an easy fix to just cut your own rubber pad and slap it on if it ever crumbles completely. Otherwise, I have pretty high hopes for this cost effective purchase.
I've started a YouTube channel recently and this tripod is great for holding up my phone and getting cool shots. I have a very large phone and phone case and my phone still fits in the tripod (barely though).
Just pulled it out of the box, while spreading out the 3 legs the plastic broke where the 3 legs hook together and NO it just didnt come apart at the ball sections. The plastic legit snapped. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!
