Great tripod with very secure phone mount.
The Eccentric Tube Cellphone Tripod is excellent. It includes a carrying bag, phone mount, 2 hex keys, a remote shutter, and a user manual (Photo 1). The silver tripod’s frame is made up of aluminum, except for the light grey leg adjusters and feet which are plastic. The tripod offers complete adjustability and flexibility for any situation. The leg angles can be adjusted between 3 different levels by a lever that you pullout and then lock it in place by pushing it back in (Photo 2 & 3). Then by twisting the feet, you can adjust the height of each leg individually and then lock them into place by twisting in the opposite direction (Photo 4). Also, unlike some tripods where the legs are a single twist to unlock and lock, on this after each leg extension it locks into place and requires you to rotate it again to extend to the next adjustment. In other words, it requires 3 rotations of the leg to go from fully extended to fully collapsed, and vice versa. Next, the center pole height can be adjusted up, down, and locked into place. The last adjustment that you can make is to the top platform. This is connected to the tripod by a ball joint, so it can be rotated, tilted, and locked into place via a knob (Photo 5). With all these adjustments you can make to the height you will not have any issues finding the perfect position. However, if you want to know the range, it can go as low as 1 ft. (Photo 6) and up to 4 ft. 11in. off the ground (Photo 7).Since this has an aluminum frame, it weighs only 2lbs, but even at its peak height, if everything is locked into place, it has great stability. Regarding the phone mount, it can expand up to 9” in height and provide approximately 1.5” of depth. It was able to secure my S21 Ultra with a full protection case. I even tried knocking the phone off by holding the mount horizontally and shaking it, but the phone still didn’t budge at all. Once you are finished using it, you can store everything in the included storage bag. The bag is big enough to fit the tripod with the phone mount still attached (Photo 8). Now, you don’t even have to disconnect anything and everything will be ready once you use it again.Overall, I plan to use this frequently and I love how most of the adjustments require just twisting, so it is easy and quick to adjust.
