This review will be divided into 3 parts with a score guide of 1-10: 10 being exceptional, 1 being substandard.1. Sturdiness (8/10)2. Accessories (8.5/10)3. Overall functionality (8/10)To begin this review, I want to disclose I did receive the product from the seller, but my opinion of the product is completely unbiased. I have tested this product for a total of 6 days to give it the best possible chance before this review.1. Sturdiness:Okay, so I film YouTube videos, so I do have a couple of different cameras all different weights and decided to try all three for reference. I tested the Canon G7X, Nikon 3200 and Canon EOS Rebel T6, using 45-degree angle, 90 degree downwards which is usually what I would use in my videos. So, the G7X performed at a (10/10) both angles, the tripod was able to handle it no problem. For the other two cameras I tried it with and without the lenses. For Nikon 3200, (7 /10) with the lense, the tripod was able to hold the camera upright, but the two angles did pull down a bit on the front leg. Without lense (9 /10); 45-degree angle was good but I did notice a bit or pulling as well on the front leg for 90 degree angle. For the EOS Rebel, (6 /10) with lense both 45 and 90 degrees were pulling the tripod forwards. Without the lense (8 /10) no pulling at 45 degrees but some pulling at 90 degrees. Overall sturdiness, (8/10) for a small tripod I think it did a very satisfactory job handling the weight of the bigger cameras even with a full lense attached.2. Accessories:I received a phone holder adapter, a photo shutter for the phone and a storage bag for the tripod. I tested the phone holder with and without my phone's case (Iphone 7 Plus). The phone holder is a (7/10) just your regular plastic phone holder attachment nothing fancy, but it does a good job of holding the phone. I did notice it is a bit hard to pull up to be able to get it wide enough for the phone but besides that it is good. The photo shutter (9/10), It connected to my phone immediately I moved around my house several feet away from (tripod with my phone) and it worked great, took a point off because it is a bit small and it did not include a string to attach it to my keys or just to hold it with my finger rather than my whole hand in general. The storage bag was a good velvet material, but I did have an issue storing the phone adapter in with the tripod but it’s not a big deal. Overall (8.5/10) the accessories did not disappoint just minor things that could easily be fixed.3. Overall Functionality:So, I tested the tripod by bending the legs and adhering it to another bigger tripod using all three cameras mentioned above and on its own. I was impressed with this little tripod; it holds all three of my cameras while being attached to the bigger tripod no problem. However, when I attached the lenses to my Nikon 3200 and the Canon EOS it did shift downward a bit, but hey! for the size of it, it did pretty well. I also tested the swivel of the red ball (pan view) and I have to say that I had problems with it. I tried to do a pan view with the G7X and no matter how tight or lose the gear would be it did wobble significantly. Overall, I say the functionality is (8/10) it is a great tripod to have for desk tutorials or even to hold a second camera on a bigger tripod, I definitely recommend it!

I bought this for a family trip to Oregon. It came in handy so we could take group photos. The part that clips in your phone is my least liked feature. The tabs that hug your phone are small. I do have a case on my phone but it's a normal case. Let's face it, we all have cases on our phones! You'd be crazy not to! If the tabs were bigger I'd have been less stressed about my phone falling out. It does have a telescoping feature however with the legs being bendable and allowing for a tripod feature, it was hard to fit in my Patagonia sling bag. I had to remove the part that holds your phone. This means that setup took longer and getting a family of 10 to wait on me was a pain.The remote, once paired, was amazing. Each time it was powered on it connected flawlessly. Someone else could hold the stick and I could take the picture. The stick itself is very sturdy. If I could only change the way it held my phone, it would be perfect. I'll even be ok with taking it apart if I knew that once I slid my phone in it was solid. I might have to add a rubber band to hold my phone.

Better Than The Gorillapod And For Less Money Kamisafe Flexible TripodGood: The legs on this flexible tripod feel really good the entirety of the legs are coated with rubber so they feel really grippy and they feel solid. The legs are also easier to straighten out, if yo have ever used one of the other types of flexible tripods you I know how difficult they can be to get straight again but the Kamisafe tripod straightens up easily with very little effort.Good: the legs are very flexible and easy to wrap around things so if you're wrapping these around a pole or around the railing of your balcony or almost anything it's very easy to get these legs wrapped around whatever it is you're trying to lock them onto.Good: The Kamisafe flexible tripod comes with both a phone clip and a wireless remote control. So, not only can you use your phone but you can use your phone at a distance without having to walk over each time to push the shutter button. This is also a great thing to have if you're doing group shots, you can set everyone up hop in the photo and then take the picture with the remote.Bad: So on the bad side is something having to do with the remote control and the phone clip. I really wish there was a mount on the tripod or on the ball head or someplace where I can actually clip the remote control to so that when I'm not using it I can keep it attached to the mini tripod so I don't lose it. Also I wish that the phone clip had a cold shoe on the top of it so if I want to use an accessory like a shotgun mic or a light I can easily attach it to the phone clip.Bottomline I really like this Kamisafe flexible tripod it feels good in the hand it feels solid when you're using it the tripod comes with accessories like the phone clip and the remote control, it even comes with a GoPro tripod adapter, it's easier to straighten the legs than the other styles of flexible tripods and it's inexpensive. Even though I have a more expensive brand name flexible tripod I'm going to continue to use this one because I prefer the feel and functionality of the Kamisafe.
