This is a great starter tripod. Its compact size and weight make it pretty easy to carry with you. I have several cameras and I got this one mainly to use with my point and shoot camera and cell phone. The telescoping poles slide smoothly and have good locks on them. All of the knobs turn and tighten pretty well. I like the flip-open and spring loaded cell phone holder. I will probably keep this in my car so I always have one with me no matter where I go. I don't feel that this tripod is sturdy enough to trust it with my more expensive cameras with larger lenses, but does a great job if using a smaller camera or small lense. For the price, you probably won't find much better if you are looking for a basic tripod. It you are looking for a tripod to support a larger camera/lens setup, I'd suggest spending a little more money to get something more robust.

I love that it’s so practical and universal. I am using this for my phone; so I cannot comment on how an actual camera would hold up. For my phone it’s perfect. It folds together nicely and has a carrying bag. Very easy to assemble once you want to use it. It stretches to a good height to take a picture at a good tall angle. As well as it has a handle for panoramic takes. It has a little built in level which is a nice touch. In my experience I have had smaller/shorter ones where I would have to prop onto something if I want a picture/video at a higher angle. Or if they are taller, they are bulkier. Either harder and heavier to transport; or too much work for an assemble for a few pictures.
This one is great, light, but firm and like I mentioned easy to pull apart to put into use. Very self explanatory to open up fully to its potential.
It also comes with the little wireless button to take pictures and video. I have had these in the past. They are my favorite type of wireless remote. Small and easy to pair to your bluetooth right away. To take a video you keep the button pressed and release to finalize it; for a picture it’s one click.
The light that the picture shows, does not come with this tripod. I attached it from a different set. Still a plus, shows how universal it is. How it can take different attachments. I am extremely happy with this tripod.

This is a nice light tripod suitable for traveling and carrying on a long walk. It does not fit my phone (Pixel 3aXL) with its case on, as the phone is quite large, but I don’t see that as an issue since I intended to use this with my real camera. My phone, with its case, is quite large, but I don’t need a tripod to shoot still photos with my phone. I have a video camera and a large and heavy (1.8 pound/800 gram) DSLR camera, and both work just fine on this tripod. The tripod has no trouble supporting and working with either of the two cameras. I usually work with a much larger, heavier tripod, but if I am going to have to carry it any distance, I certainly will take this tripod. It has sufficient flexibility and control to position the DSLR in any position and is a good value. My DSLR camera is heavy, but the tripod has no trouble supporting and working with it. I can certainly recommend this tripod for most phones (it would fit mine if I removed the case) and for DSLR cameras.

This is a nice inexpensive yet high quality tripod. After testing it I found it to be quite sturdy and very light weight too. It weighs in at 21.5 ounces/607 grams. I mostly picked it up to use with my older iPhone 11 Pro Max. I found it to work very well at gripping the larger cell phone in a secure manner. Of course, it also holds my ancient digital camera as well. The tripod also has a little level and comes with a carrying bag, not pictured.

The included shutter remote was a breeze to pair up with my cell phone. The instructions say it's very easy to do, and it sure was! I had the little remote paired up in less than 10 seconds via Bluetooth. And yes, the remote control is tiny! Measuring at 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches/6.35 cm x 3.81 cm. You really but really have to be careful not to lose it. I will have to find a makeshift way to store it on the tripod itself when not in use.

When using a normal camera the top handle is on the right, but when using the tripod to hold a cell phone the handle switches to the left due to the phone facing the opposite way. Me being right-handed, that's the only negative thing I noticed, but other than that this is a nice tripod.

I have been on the lookout for a super lightweight and highly versatile tripod to take with me at a moment’s notice for quick video assessments.
That’s when I discovered this K&F CONCEPT B174A1 Travel Tripod with Bluetooth Remote for Camera Smartphone.
Weighing in at just a little over 1 1/2 pounds, this aluminum and plastic tripod is very well constructed, and folds down to a length of just 17 inches for easy storage in a vehicle or lashed to a backpack. By unlocking the tripod legs, this product can be extended up to 60 inches in length.
The head of the tripod is designed to either use an expandable compression spring clamp (4.3” to 6.8”) to hold your smartphone, or a cold shoe to accommodate a screw-on conventional camera. The 3-way directional axis pan head allows for smooth 360° horizontal rotation and adjustable tilt angles to capture a full field of imagery.
A small but value-added detail is the inclusion of a miniature dot-level to help ensure that your tripod is leveled-out for perfectly framed shots. It’s a small green circular level with an even smaller bead within, and located on the upper surface of where the top portion of the tripod legs attach to the center shaft.
Also Included in the product offering is a camera remote shutter control fob, as well as a nifty soft carrying bag to store the tripod and remote.
A compact, lightweight tripod will inevitably have some trade offs, regardless of how well it is made, and that applies to this product as well. With lightweight tripods, the lack of weight means potentially less stability when shooting in the field. That can be overcome if needed by adding either an aftermarket center-mounted counterweight, or investing in a sand/rock bag to suspend beneath the tripod in a sort of hammock. But for the most part, lightweight compact tripods like this have their place and do quite well for most assignments.
Overall, I have been very impressed with this K&F CONCEPT B174A1 Travel Tripod, and can recommend it to anyone needing a quality- built portable tripod that can perform double-duty for use of smartphones or conventional camera use.

This small tripod packs a punch with some pretty nice feature. The mobile phone holder paired with the bluetooth shutter switch is nice. Also easily supports a DSLR or full body camera.

I have a Sony A6400 and this tripod is perfect for it. It is light weight and compatible enough to take places like a hiking trip or camping. Surprisingly it is a very sturdy tripod for how light it is is. For me I will be using this for my graphic design needs to capture images that need a stable tripod.

This tripod is indeed very lightweight and comes with a carrying bag. I can easily imagine taking it with me when hiking. Despite being lightweight, it appears to be well-built and is sturdy enough to hold my 2 1/2 lb, Nikon P950 camera. There is no quick-release plate for the camera, but it does have a standard 1/4" thread mount to screw into the bottom of the camera. For camera phones, the head has a flip-up, spring-loaded holder that will securely clamp your phone in place. In addition, there is a little blue-tooth remote that can be paired with your phone camera to provide a remote shutter release function. It looks like it should work with both IOS and Android devices. I had no trouble getting it paired to and functioning with the built-in camera app on my Samsung S22 phone.

I can finally record myself! this thing is great. its small enough to put on a counter but also big enough to put on the floor. there are a lot of knobs on it but once you know what each thing is for then its easy to use. the bluetooth controller connects directly to the phone and also comes with a battery inside it already. it has an iOS button and an android button. you can use it without the tripod too which is great. I think this is a great option, highly recommend!

Easily holds the weight of my projector which is around 4 pounds maybe a little more. Surprisingly sturdy. No offense it looks cheap but it’s actually pretty sturdy.
