Zeikos 50" Inch Aluminum Camera Tripod, Lightweight with Bubble Level Indicator + Free MiracleFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloth and Carrying Bag

Quick Release Plate for 57" XIT XT57TRS Pro Series Aluminum Tripod. This product fits perfectly for a replacement for this tripod. I just thought I'd let everyone know this.

Best tripod for the price. The free shipping came quickly in three days. I have another heavy duty tripod. I was looking for a light weight, compact, travel tripod to take on a trip. After some research, I found this Zeikos tripod that seemed to meet my needs. For the low price, I did not have high expectation that it would be as good as my heavy duty tripod. But much to my surprise, it works just as good and serves its purpose, which is to keep the camera steady. My camera, a Sony A6000, is very light and it is perfect. The tripod weighs 1.06 pound and is very light, and it folds down to 16 inches and fits well into my backpack. It also comes with a carrying case. The quick release plate is a plus, which I don't have on the older heavy duty tripod. But this tripod is not intended for heavy duty use, so do not expect to use it for heavy cameras with long telephoto lens. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light weight compact tripod at the unbeatable price.

If I could have given this product a half of a star, or a quarter of a star, or even an eighth, or sixteenth, of a star rating, that's what I would have given it. Yes, it's really that bad.tldr; if you like throwing away your money, buy this product. Otherwise stay away! Stay FAR FAR away!I was sorely disappointed when I received this tripod from Amazon to see it literally fall apart in my hands as I tried to set it up for the first time. The legs are flimsy, and will come apart with even the slightest pressure. The height of the tripod is not even as advertised (it says 50 inches but no matter how I measure it it stands at 42.5" from end-to-end). So nice job on the false advertising their Amazon. Additionally, this tripod was spray-painted and I could smell the fumes as soon as I took it out of its packaging. So a single scratch ruins your finish.I am so upset that I did not bother to read the reviews for this product on amazon, before I purchased it. Had I done that, first, I would not have bought it. Unfortunately, my decision was made on a whim and I grabbed the first reasonably priced tripod I could find (knowing nothing about tripods). I would honestly rather have given my $11 to charity rather than buy this thing, knowing what I know now. At least then I would know my money was put to good use. This is just worse than flushing your money down the toilet. There's nothing wrong with making a cheap product, as long as you actually offer something of equivalent value. This product is cheap and offers NOTHING of value. It didn't even last 5 minutes out of the box. I could think of a lot of other things that would last me a heck of a whole lot longer than 5 minutes for $11 that I would rather have done.Summary: Blacklist this worthless brand for life. I certainly will provide my bad review of this product on every online shopping site that carries it.

This item is very cheap, feels very cheap, but actually very durable. I have a simple pocket camera and this is perfect for it. It would prolly fall down with a heavier camera, but it's awesome for what I need it for. The legs come short, and extend to almost my height! The legs lock in place, and mine have always held up. If you are on a hill, you can adjust the legs to be shorter in the front and longer in the back. You can also tilt the angle in every way. There are the quick release screws, and they are very easy to use. The handle thingy is also a quick release. And there is a level bubble so you can be sure your picture will come out straight. The tripod even came with a thin carrying case with a pull string strap. Overall, I love this tripod. I am not a professional in any way, so if you are, you might need something better. But for someone who has a simple lightweight pocket camera, this is definitely for you.

Extremely lightweight but I don’t know how long it will last. It performs its function but I am a little worried about placing a $800 camera on it and walking away. It is a lot of plastic. I will be only using it when I will be directly behind the camera.

Lightweight. Checks all the boxes. Concerned about durability.

for the price. I wish a lot of the products you order had instructions with it. Instead of having to go online to the listing to try and figure it out.

I like the light weight for hikes and the snap off head for flower closeups is great. The downside is that it is a bit flimsy so I have to handle it very carefully and not let the wind knock it over on hikes.

I'm an amateur photographer, mainly taking shots of my kids. Wanted a cheap, light tripod to experiment with night photography, HDR, time lapse, etc. This does trick for me.I wouldn't touch this tripod if I were a pro. It's wobbly to touch, it doesn't have a very large footprint. For me though, this is fine. It came with a carry bag and a quick connect piece. It easily supports my entry DSLR with kit lens. I wouldn't put any expensive glass on it, but I don't have any.
