This tripod was purchased for my father, who needed a tripod, and it works fairly well. It isn't suited for exactly what he wants it for, but that's more of a situational issue than a put down to the tripod itself. As a tripod, it's fairly nice how it can hold a phone. However, as I was writing this review, the rubber piece atop the phone attachment came off. The adjustability of the legs is quite nice. Overall, it's quite a good tripod for the price we got it for.
