I bought this item 4-5 days ago and I am very satisfied with the decision I made because this tripod helps me record videos and take pictures like a selfie, but the texture is so smooth and not a single roughness. I'd recommend using this tripod because it's easy to maneuver. This tripod is also great for aligning your phone sideways tilted at a 0° angle so you could relax from a long day of work and watch your favorite movies, videos, and/ or even slideshows!
