I’ve had a few tripod stands before this one and they were flimsy and only held phone in one direction. This stand can hold the phone either way, is very sturdy, and doesn’t look or feel cheap. Very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this to use filming my daughters basketball games. Sometimes the bleachers get pretty full in our small gym and setting up a tripod taking up 3-4 seats isn't always possible. Hand held phone video was always shaky and hard to watch. So, I started looking for alternatives and found this.It allows me to keep my phone relatively still while still having the flexibility to move around if I need to. It's taken my wife's video skills up quite a few notches. The video is no longer shaky and she has the ability to tilt and reposition if necessary.The bottom has a rubber foot that can be screwed in out revealing a sharp metal tip that can be stuck in the ground if you wanted it outside. The rubber foot covers the tip when inside. It's a really cool design. I'd buy it again.

I have owned about 4-6 dash cams and they all have so many downfalls. From recording time, no way to connect video to your phone, ect. This dash cam has an app to connect and down videos EFFORTLESSLY! I will be buying another for my husbands truck

Very well made and designed

The stand is rock solid - that's great. Rough adjustment is done by moving the entire assembly up and down. Then approach with the gear adjustment on the bracket. Then fine-tune with the focus wheel on the lens holder. It sounds awkward, and it is a little - but once locked in place, you're done.

What I like: The video quality is excellent - 1080p. The images are sharp and clean. Video and still image specs are decent. Base and supports are made of solid aluminum. The base and post, crossbar and main gear are solid and sturdy.

Video is 30 fps, 11866 kbps (11.86 mbps), MP4.
Still images average 3.1 MB, 4032 x 3024 pixels, 72 dpi. 24-bit, sRGB.

The assembly took about 10 minutes.

There is an option to screw sliding clips into the base, but these would get in the way of everything else. There is also an included plastic box for slides with a built-in black light. It is completely separate and can be placed on the base if necessary. The slide box has two threaded mounting holes for slide clips - but they are 2mm in size. The screws provided are 3mm - for the main base only.

It's a decent system but would benefit from better quality control.

I use my phone to look at the photo I'm painting. This little tripod does the trick as one can adjust it to stand on uneven surfaces.

This is a SOLID base stand for your phone. The telescoping grip easily comes out of storage and the lights really help your look on a video conference. Put it at 90 degrees and rotate it over and it's a great document sharer. I love the fact the phone can be put up high for big group selfies or on the floor so you can sit in a chair and look directly at your party. Other selfie tripods always seem to tip over if you move them, but this one is solid so you can change the angle easy. Definitely recommend!
