JOILCAN Tripod Camera Tripods, 74" Tripod for Camera Cell Phone Video Recording, Heavy Duty Tall Camera Tripod Stand, Professional Travel DSLR Tripods Compatible with Canon iPhone, Max Load 15 LB

This is a very decent tripod, sturdy and full-featured. It was easy to assemble and set up. I like the little extras like integrated bubble level and cushioned legs that make carrying and positioning easier. The inclusion of an extra mounting plate and vertical bracket is also helpful. The plastic isn't the highest quality but very serviceable. The action on the clips to adjust the length of the legs, the lever arm, telescoping rod etc. all feels good, not perfect but very good. It also folds down to a fairly compact size.If you're looking for something no frills but functional and inexpensive, it's hard to find many flaws here.

If you see reviews of the weight of a camera causing the mount to tilt know that I had the concern when I bought it but now that it has arrived I see that simply tightening the vertices hold handle keeps the camera securely in place. Unless they received a bad product somehow I don’t see an issue with the vertices hold.

UPDATE 4/13/2025:First off great cuatomer service! Upon leaving a bad review the seller reached out to make things right. They first offered a refund. I didnt want a refund. Then they offered to replace the product. I accepted this. The new tripod showed up and it was solid. Kudos to having great customer service. This is as important as having a good product.This product is not good. A tripod should be stable. The tripod legs are fine, but the mounting hardware is loose and wobbles. So when you put a camera or a binoculars on the mount, it is not steady at all. The whole point of the mount is to provide steadiness so images can be taken or viewed. I would not recommend this brand. The tolerances are too sloppy.

I have used other more expensive and more metal component (heavier) tripods similar to this one. I had gotten out of my hobby for awhile and have just gotten back into it, so I thought I would try this tripod.First off, for those that have never used a panhead on a tripod, the knobs and levers do certain things.I have seen reviews where people have complained that the "elastic knob" doesn't hold the camera up, it will droop. It's not supposed to. That's not the "tightening screw/lever" for up and down, it's for panning side to side. You will want to pan at different tensions to control the speed of panning without jerkiness, hence the "elastic knob". Also, you might want to set the tripod legs at a certain position that may not be a good direction for the lens. This is where you can loosen the elastic knob, turn the panhead side to side to aim your camera where you want to, then tighten it down to hold it from moving side to side. The legs stay where they were, on uneven ground where you might have uneven leg extensions so that the tripod is level for panning this is very helpful to not have to move the whole tripod itself and just move the panhead on top.The long thin handle that comes uninstalled screws into the panhead and is what controls the up and down of the camera/lens, that will tighten more than enough to hold any dSLR and lens combo without drooping. The handle is long and thin so you have something to grab and position the up/down of the camera/lens and then just twist to tighten to hold your position. Very useful design.I advise people that have never used a panhead on a tripod to do a quick google search to know exactly how they work, I'm sure you will be pleased with this tripod after having learned how to use it properly.The tripod itself. Lightweight, good. Height, good. Sturdiness, ok. But, it does have a hook under the panhead that you can hang your camera bag or anything else on, and that WILL add a bunch of stability to it. So, definitely not a drawback.Maybe a bit too much plastic (lightweight), so be careful over tightening things, not necessary to do that, either. Also, I wouldn't advise being too rough with it. That doesn't mean it's not a good tripod, I think it is. But, it is a lightweight one with a bit more plastic than a high end professional one would have, and it is at a very attractive price point. So be aware that plastic breaks easier than metal (duh, right?).The quick release plates are a nice add-on, I have used them before. They make it easy to remove the camera for various reasons while using the tripod, but I don't leave them on the camera when I am not using the tripod, I take them off. You'll understand why after using it a few times.All in all, after having used high end tripods with panheads in the past and this one now, I think it is a very good tripod at this price point, hard to beat. I do like the compact and lightweight aspect of it. I have only just received it, so if anything changes with repeated use I will update this review.EDIT: I should mention, as to the stability, I never extend the smallest, bottom legs on any tripod, regardless of how heavy duty it is unless I have to, which I almost never need to do. I'll extend the post the panhead sits on before I extend those bottom legs.The reason for this becomes obvious once you put regular use on a tripod with any height to it. It is the biggest contributor to instability on any tripod, keep 'em closed up unless you absolutely need to use them, then just be aware of how much more unstable those legs are going to make the tripod, any tripod.

I am quite tall and this tripod has helped my back immensely. The most common tripods can only put a mounted camera up to eye level at around 5'8" (1.72m). This one can extend to a height around 7' (2.14m).And yet it collapses to 21"(53cm) and comes with its own bag.Thank you for making a tall person product.Also don't forget the value of the leveling bubble and carrying handle built in to the tripod. Great value, I couldn't pass it up and I couldn't be happier.

Good quality and it is easy to assemble, I love this product 😍

Bought this two years ago and love it ! I carry it with me to any get together event! Fits with iPhone 14 pro max holder and has a remote control ! I don't have to ask another person to take a picture , instead we can be all in the photos ! No one is left behind in photo shoots! Must have!😀

I really like my tripod. It works very well for my Nikon camera.
