If you ask a professional photographer what the most important piece of equipment is in their inventory, almost all will say, "a good tripod."My workhorse tripod finally broke in an unrepairable way after nearly 30 years of use.The MACTREM 75 Inch Camera Tripod was the best choice after value-shopping for about a week.Here are a few features. It collapses down to less than two feet in length, but can be extended to over 70". It is very light weight. It is pretty stable and includes a hook on the bottom of the tripod to attach a weight to give additional stability. It comes with rubberized, rotating feet that allow you to set up in uneven terrain and get a solid grip with the floor/ground. It comes with a phone holder that allows you to grip the phone either horizontally or vertically. It comes with a quick release tab. (This was vital for me as all my recording equipment is set-up with quick tabs.)The tripod also allows you 360 degree horizontal movement and 180 degree vertical movement (by turning the mount 90 degrees and then rotating the recording device, camera or phone).There are a few caveats. It is a little less sturdy than my 30 year old tripod. This is not a huge deal, but it means that it will not be able to hold my old video camera recorder. The set comes with a remote that says it is for iOS or Android, but I could not figure out how to use it. The instructions that come with the device are very limited. It is not that complicated, but there are things, like the remote, that would be easier to use if they came with a little bit of information.All in all, this is a good replacement for old reliable tripod, and I expect to get years of use out of this MACTREM 75 Inch Camera Tripod.

I'm using this for portable lighting. I typically carry 3-5 tripods and electrical components in one case and then camera equipment and lighting in two other cases. This is not anywhere near as sturdy as my Manfrotto or even my ball head Neewer, but it's definitely capable of getting the job done. I had a minor quality issue with the first one I got, which was missing some parts (!), but they replaced it. Mind you, this is Amazon-- there is no MACTREM hotline.I'm taking off one star for what may be completely irrelevant-- but might be a dealbreaker for you: the plate mount system isn't based on any standardized mounts. It can fit an Arca mount, but it's like you have to jam it in there, and it's cheap plastic, so it feels like it might break. The one they DO provide you with IS serviceable, but you can forget about using this for some sort of heavy, professional DSLR. You can also forget about unscrewing it to replace it with a different head, use a screw adapter, QR plate, or whatever, because the thing doesn't disassemble at all. This, I've come to find, is a hallmark of cheaper tripods. It's annoying and something that would be ever so easy to fix at very little cost.Anyway, just something to think about. This is fine for smaller cameras or smartphones, where portability is key. I would not use it for a DSLR. The stabilizer for the legs also means you have a limited number of angles. But definitely a good, cheap starter option that isn't the $15.99 special garbage.

I love this. It seems like it should have been much more expensive. I love everything about it. I use the mount to put my ringlight on. Great quality and sturdy. It has the option to add your own weight so it doesnt fall over on a windy day. The legs expand individually which I love for getting tight angles or setting up in awkward spaces. Love this thing all around.

I have purchased many budget-oriented tripods over the years. Several, however, in just the past two years.I don’t even have enough accolades to express my satisfaction with this tripod! It is sturdy. It is plenty tall enough. Has a hook for a small bag (11lbs). The telescopic legs of this tripod are nice and thick, and the clamps that hold them in place do a fine job.Many (most) tripods it this price, have tiny, weak legs for their smallest telescopic section, but these are very sturdy.In fact, the clamps hold so well that you do not necessarily need to fully extend the leg. The clamp will hold (use common sense, don’t try to hold a small child with your tripod). Say for example you have two legs on solid, level ground, but there just isn’t room to extend the third one fully. The clamps will hold the tripod firmly in place, with a section just partially extended, so that you may get your level shot.Oh, the tripod also has a built-in level, it’ll shoot horizontally as well as vertically, and can move in 360 degrees.It really is a very nice choice for the money, and they come in snazzy colors, as well!
