ZOMEI65” Camera Tripod Compact Light Weight Travel Aluminum Camera/Phone Tripod for Canon Nikon with 2PC Quick Plates and Universal Phone Mount 11 lbs Load (Black)

I have had this tripod for about 5 months and used it for almost every photograph and video I have taken. Before I bought this tripod, I did some comparisons with many other types of tripods and styles. This one particularly stood out the most for me. It was at a price that I could afford and had many of the functions that expensive tripods can do. At that point, I was barely starting my photograph career and needed a sturdy, full function, and good quality tripod but cheap. I searched for better tripods, but all of the professional tripods were too expensive. I was kind of nervous about buying this tripod because of the product being made of aluminum and plastic. But when it arrived, I took it out of the package, and it felt very sturdy and lightweight. It came in a small long box, opening the box I took out the tripod which was inside a black carrying case. The tripod was well packaged, and it was in great condition. The legs extended much longer than I thought, and the locks work great. The head of the tripod was well made as each function did what it was supposed to do. The best thing about this tripod, it is so light I can carry it with one hand or in my backpack. Now I take it on every trip I go, knowing that it’s so compact and easy to carry around.

It’s a light Tripod, sturdy, easy to use and adjust. I did notice a slight shake on the phone while I was streaming live. It was easy to maneuver! It was good to see it has a ‘jack’ to lift the phone up higher to full height of the tripod. Bag is handy. I will be getting a smaller bag for the attachments.

I almost went with a cheaper tripod, but after reading reviews decided that it would save me money in the long run to just get this one. Boy was I right! This little guy is so compact and light, yet very sturdy even when expanded to its full height. I recently used this to photograph the solar eclipse (2017) I had it set to its fullest height and had my huge Canon 7D mark II with zoom lens (~4lbs) pointing at an angle up for about an hour and it held sturdy, didn't even need a counter weight, although I'd recommend using one just in case. The only flaw I noticed is that it doesn't screw on very tight. I don't know if this is a flaw with my camera or the tripod but it does feel a little looser than I would like. That being said it does stay attached even at a fairly extreme angle with a heavy camera.

I have a Zomei ball head tripod, but was asked to provide some feedback on this one. So I bought one, and took it to a windy place to take some night long exposures. Here's the good and the bad.Good:Cheap price for a tripod. The legs seem to be lightweight metal and are tube shaped - not "U" shaped which typical bargain tripods provide, meaning the legs tend to be stable. The locks on the tripod are very easy to operate, are plastic, but hold extremely well. I'd say the lower half of the tripod is pretty decent for travel.Bad:The top extension mechanism is faulty in the sense that you need to turn the knob on the side to secure the camera in the up position, if you extend the head up and do not tighten the knob on the side, it will likely start to slide down, and if not it will at least be wobbly. The extension is plastic which was a bummer, but it is a $35 tripod so there's no expectation for it all to be metal or other high-quality materials.I did get some 5-10 second exposures on my nikon and they seem to have been pretty sharp, meaning there's not a lot of sway. It was decently windy, cold, and the exposures were long. I think this is a good beginner tripod. It's a bit short, so if you're someone that's over 6ft tall, you may want to think about getting a taller tripod for your troubles.I should also say that I was using a remote shutter, so I was not pressing the button on the camera which aided the stability. I tend to not use the timer, although a 5-second timer would have been enough to settle down any wobble.If you have a few more bucks in your pocket, I'd go with their higher quality Q555 ball-head tripod. It is much steadier than this one, just as portable, and will likely last you for years. I have not had any issues with mine. Their 818s and other tripods are also great quality but will cost you a bit more as well.You get what you pay for, so in this case I wasn't looking to get a professional quality tripod, but the tripod they sent me was much better than I have received in camera kits in previous years, making it a good starting point if you need to use it for family portraits, or some other beginner level applications.

My generic tripod I have been using since 2012 has finally broke. I purchased another generic one but it did not do what I wanted it to do, which is an overhead shot using my Iphone. I like how this tripod can tilt downwards. It feels sturdy, but it is light. I just got it today, but I am giving it 5 stars because it does what I want it to do. I looked at a ton of tripods here in Amazon, but just went with this one because I was spending too much time looking at Amazon. I am glad I just picked this one. I will update if it fails me, but so far so good.

I love this lightweight and sturdy tripod, prior to this I purchased the Amazon Basics tripod and it had a very low quality feel, this feels like a much better built tripod and it fits nicely attached to my camera backpack with very little extra weight. Plastic handle for cranking up the neck to eye level but feels strong enough for the weekend hobby photographer wannabe. Good value for the money.

I've been using this tripod for a little under a year now and I have very little complaints. It's stable enough and it gets the job done. I will say that some of the hardware does feel flimsy and a bit fragile, but you get what you pay for! I would not trust this tripod in extremely windy weather without a sandbag or some type of weight though, but otherwise it's great. Easy to use, quick to setup, and fairly intuitive to learn how to use efficiently.

It's portable and works as per advertisement.

Got this Zomie Q111 tripod stand at ₹3499. The product is made up of metal with good quality plastic components. The product comes with a carry bag but you need to purchase a phone mount separately (e.g. Ulanzi ST-02S). I recommend this product to all who are looking for a good light weight metal tripod stand.
