Better than expected
I have and have had a few tripods for my cameras and can therefore judge quite well what a tripod is like. I didn't expect much from this one for the price and intended use (primarily cell phones) and assumed that it wasn't particularly stable. I thought wrong then.

It arrived well packed in an extra bag in the box. When I unpacked it, I was impressed by how well made it is and how stable it is in the end. It's also quite small when folded, but can eventually become quite large. To extend the feet, you have to turn them and they are unlocked and you can pull them out. To lock, turn it in the opposite direction. However, I would be a bit careful with this mechanism, because it can also come loose quickly. A camera with a little more weight should not be left unattended.

The piece in the middle can be removed and used as a monopod or selfie stick. To do this, you take the middle piece out of the actual tripod and turn it to unlock it, then you can pull it out quite a bit and then you lock it again.
Even as a selfie stick, it's pretty stable and well made.

There is also a mobile phone holder and a remote control, but I have not tested them because I will use it for a small camera, because it is absolutely sufficient for that. But I wouldn't use it for heavier, larger and more expensive cameras, because then I wouldn't trust the tripod.

The ball head is easy to loosen and tighten. With smaller cameras, it also holds wonderfully.

Summarized:

- Very small when folded, but very large when unfolded
- Not too heavy (I think it's still okay for the size)
- Nice and stable, but I wouldn't exhaust the specified 4 kg
- Super workmanship
- Closures for taking off the legs work, but catch a bit and you have to be careful with them because they can easily come loose
- Mobile phone holder and remote control are included
- Ball head holds
- The price is absolutely fine

If the fasteners for taking them off were made a little better, I would have given a full 5 stars.
