Amazon Basics Camera Mini Tripod

I bought this tripod to use to mount my Canon Rebel 7s DSLR camera on my desk surface to use it as a $k capable webcam. Canon, and many of the other DSLR manufacturers have now issued software to fulfill that role/purpose for the camera. Size of the tripod was very important in this use case, and this tripod was a perfect fit for my desk surface level. It has a standard threaded mount for cameras (and webcams, etc.), and was easy to set up and adjust properly. The feet do not mar the desktop surface, and it is stable in operational use. Price is very favorable, as well, highly recommended. If you are thinking about implementing you DSLR as a webcam the software was totally simple to install and configure, and 4K capable when completed. Suggest adding a high quality USB microphone to your set up for superior sound. Amazon has a number of good examples of microphones that will blend well into this application.

This little tripod is sturdy, well built, and has a really nice design. I love it. The 360º rotating ball makes it very adjustable. At first, I was discouraged when the picture in the ad showed that the legs could be made almost flat, which was a main reason I bought it, then when I got it, I thought it couldn't do that. But I figured out that the bottom piece turns to where you can flatten the legs like the picture, or you can have it so the legs are not as flat. Also, I screwed my little selfie stick onto the base above the ball, so now I can bring my phone higher when needed, and that works great! It's very solid and feels like it's going to last.

I was hoping that I could use it with a small camera (a trail camera) for temporarily monitoring gopher holes etc.; but it tends to topple over and has no vertical adjustment. (It has a gimballed head, but if you tilt the camera up, then the whole thing topples over. ) It does hold a cell phone OK but it might be bit of a challenge to find a surface on which to place it to get the picture you want. I was looking for another one like the small tripod I had before. I probably won't use it; or will use pieces of it to make something else.

I have used this extensively at a grand-daughter's basketball games to stream the game from a phone. It can be used in a fairly tight space and adjusts easily.

At leg full extension this tripod us sturdy for a lightweight camera or light. However, the included phone clip does not stand your phone upright. If you are making ig or tiktok videos, this is useless. There is also no way to lock the legs in a more compact position for placing on a smaller surface area Not terrible, but not recommended.

I have the amazon basics regular tripod and I love it but sometimes opening it and setting it up takes time and space and I got this one for prime day. Its nice and I think there are two settings. I'm still figuring it out. easy to keep and store. I have used it a couple of times and I like it.

I use this in a place where I have to change the angle and position of the camera all of the time and this is so easy to use that I would not want to use any other brand.

It was a good purchase and did exactly what I needed it for. It was a good quality, easy to use, and not too expensive. I had it for a couple of years, although somewhat limited use, it was worth the purchase.

Good size and sturdy for small to medium sized cameras. Not recommended for full size cameras and large attachable lenses.

Fits my camera well. Seems well made. Is quite solid for the size. A canny buy for the price

Un trípode de tamaño muy portable, de construcción resistente para el peso que soporta, el cabezal giratorio es lo mejor.

Exelente producto muy recomendable

Does the job. Functional, small and portable
