Amazon Basics Lightweight Portable Mini Travel Tripod with 360 Ball Head Adjustable Height Desktop Black

This Lightweight Mini Tripod from Amazon Basics was a life saver, I had bought this product back in November of 2017 and I am now in 2023, and I honestly think it's worth the money, or at least in my personal opinion. I have used this small yet durable tripod for years and it has not failed me at all. I did eventually buy a (SMARTPHONE HOLDING MECHANISM) (NOT INCLUDED) to screw onto the tripod, which you can buy separately. I have used this tripod to take pictures, either for social media or to promote my art on YouTube. I believe this tripod can be used in many ways, I have used it to record side views of my art process and also to use it on a daily basis to take still photos of nature and trips I've been on in the past. I also provided some photos included in this review to showcase the tripod in itself. Remember to pull on the rubber bumpers at the bottom of the tripod, trust me I thought it was a one height only mini tripod, but I was fooled, and I did not realize it had extending legs, so watch out for the unexpected height scare. Overall, I think this product is worth it, it is easy to use for timed photography or for social media projects/businesses. This is not a tall tripod, but it's a great alternative for anyone wanting to take pictures/videos for vlogging by setting the tripod on a table. Thank you all for reading. Happy Shopping! I hope I'll help you all with this honest review! ;) Read more

Great little gadget for holding your phone for Zoom calls. Easy to use. Like the fact that the legs are adjustable. The tightening screw for the legs works well. It is lightweight and portable. The rubber tips keeps it in place once you place it down. For the size, it is sturdy. I would recommend the product. Great value for the money. Read more

Very small, 4” tall, unstable for camera, do not recommend for camera. It’s a good price, but not sure what you can use with. Read more

ITs a tripod... what did you expect to read about here? Its legs fold up for transport, and fold out just a wee bit to make it balances to support the weight of the object attached. The screw is a standard 1/4 (quarter) inch, and fits just about every camera I own... though i purchased this specifically for my web cam. it is strong enough to support quite a bit of weight without effort... its quite sturdy, but is very lightweight itself (Aircraft aluminum, likely)(or Elvish Mithril... I hear it is light, too!). The screw has a little rubberized washer that can help tighten down anything like a gopro that may have a shallow screw recess on it... I found that the camera I had has a deep enough screw well that it screwed down all the way with the washer in its lowest position... Overall, it is very nice. It is heavy enough to support my webcam extended out as far as it can go (with the help of the slightest amount of weight provided by the tension of the webcam's cable...) It is a very attractive and versatile product... now I will go find something better to do than write a 225 word essay on the benefits of why this tripod is better or as good as any other tripod on the market....

Works ok. Seems solid enough but the legs don't spread out very far so it's not all that stable on rough or soft surfaces. I bought this to use with a phone mount so I could use my phone hands-free in bed. It didn't really work for that. Read more

I expected to get what I paid for: A $7 tripod for a small webcam that was probably made from cheap material that wouldn't stand the test of time. I'm actually surprised with the quality of this tripod. It feels sturdy enough that it will last, though it doesn't have tons of weight to it. Great product if you have the Logitech c920 like I do. Fits it like a glove and since it arrived, that webcam has been proudly sitting upon it. I would say that the little flappy grip that tightens the gimbel could be better built. I can see that popping off if you're too rough with it. Still, if it breaks, it's pretty inexpensive to replace. I will state that you shouldn't treat it too roughly because the material, which decent, does feel like it could break under a decent amount of stress. So, don't put heavy cameras on it. I probably wouldn't even try to find a smartphone mount for it. This lightweight Mini Tripod was built with a webcam in mind and that's what it should be used for. Five stars. I can't think of anything wrong with this product. Read more

I decided to pick up this little tripod to go with the new webcam I just bought. My monitor is on a raised shelf, so my old webcam pointed down toward me at an angle. That often left me looking up at it above my glasses – and some people seemed to think this made me look creepy. Now I can put my tripod-mounted webcam on the shelf where my monitor sits and have it face me pretty much straight on. I was initially a little surprised at just how small this tripod is, but it has worked out perfectly for me. You don’t get any instructions in the box, but it isn’t too hard to figure out. You mount your camera to the screw on top, maneuver it to whatever angle you want, and then use the dumaflache on the side to tighten it up to hold that position. Once you extend the legs of the tripod, there’s no worry about the thing slipping or falling over. It’s definitely portable, as well – heck, I could carry this thing in my front pants pocket without any problem. You need a special clamp if you want to mount your smartphone on this thing, but I can mount my old Flip camera just as easily as I can my webcam. I’m very happy with this little tripod. Read more
