5.0 out of 5 stars Basic & pretty darn good
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
For what it is, it did the job with ease. I bought this as a low investment for a single use. We wanted a video for our wedding but didn't want to invest in a professional grade tripod for the day as we likely wouldn't use it often thereafter. This was a pretty good purchase. It was easy to use, lightweight, & truly seemed sturdy during filming. It fit my Nikon DLSR perfectly & the top head screwed into the camera's base of body easily.

The carrying case is ok. Definitely not going to last a lifetime as it seems made of noisy nylon, but it arrived in perfect condition & didn't tear upon repacking the trippod after the event. I keep it stored indoors & away from light & heat. I think it will last as long as we're gentle with it. Overall, I'd say this was a truly good budget buy for our purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Tripod
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024
This tripod has great versatility and stability, efficiently adjusting from a compact 12 inches to a full 64 inches. It's an excellent choice for photographers who value flexibility in shooting heights without sacrificing stability. The mechanism for extending and retracting the legs is smooth and intuitive, making it quick and easy to set up and adjust on the go. Despite its lightweight design, it remains remarkably stable at any height, ensuring that your camera stays secure even in challenging conditions. Perfect for both amateurs and professionals, this tripod is a reliable tool for capturing steady and sharp images for a great price.
The bag it comes with allows easy transport and storage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable and Portable
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023
The Amazon Basics 50-inch Lightweight Camera Mount Tripod Stand with Bag is a budget-friendly and portable solution that offers convenience for amateur photographers and hobbyists. While it excels in affordability and ease of transport, it comes with some considerations, especially regarding stability when used with heavier camera equipment. That being said, it's proven to be good quality as it has lasted me 4+ years with no damage. I especially recommend this tripod to be used with phones, not so much for professional cameras but more on that in a little bit.

Affordability and Portability:
The standout feature of this tripod is its affordability, making it an attractive choice for those on a budget. The lightweight design adds to its appeal, providing portability that makes it easy to carry around for on-the-go photography sessions. The inclusion of a carry bag further enhances its convenience during transportation. Furthermore, this tripod is very compact making it easy to put in backpacks if you choose not to use the carrying back like I did.

Height Range and Flexibility:
The tripod's ability to expand to a height of 50 inches offers a decent range for various shooting scenarios. This flexibility is advantageous for capturing different perspectives and compositions, making it suitable for a variety of photography styles.

Lightweight Nature and Stability Concerns:
While the lightweight nature of the tripod is advantageous for portability, it introduces some stability concerns. The tripod, at times, can be a bit unstable, especially when extended to its maximum height. This makes it less suitable for use with heavier camera equipment, as it may wobble or tip over. Due to its lightweight construction and potential stability issues, it's essential to exercise caution when considering this tripod for use with expensive or heavier camera setups. For those with high-end equipment, investing in a more robust tripod may be a better choice to ensure the safety of your equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend for the price and size!
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024
Such good quality and the perfect size! the carrying case could be better because the strap is very very short! so its hard to put on your arm and stuff! But other that 10/10 reccomend and you cant beat it for the price! Highly recomend!! Also a very good height for the tripod itself didnt expect it to be so tall because it fold down so small! It isn't the highest of quality youll ever see for a tripod but you definitely great for price! its also as good if you need something quick and easy so its great to have for when youre in a pinch and dont wanna lug a giant tripod! its amazing for the price and the size and it truly holds a good amount of weight!! but the other then the carrying case being a little weird its really nice and its super light weight!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stable and easy to adjust
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
Taking pictures is a hobby to me, so my needs out of a tripod were pretty simple. I originally bought this tripod for the purpose of setting up a "photobooth" at a Christmas party with friends with a Sony A5100, which was a very light camera so I didn't require much of the tripod other than just keeping it up. I am happy to report that it has been almost 5 years since and I still use this tripod! I use it to take our own family photos, recording family videos, to take pictures of the sky or any scenes where I need the camera to be superrrr still, etc.

I have a heavier camera now (Sony A7II) in comparison to the one I had then, and even so I have not had any issues with stability. I will point out, however, that I don't use very heavy lenses (between 24mm and 55mm) so I cannot speak to how it would if you used longer, heavier telephoto lenses. I also have only used it mostly on flat land, so I also cannot speak to its stability in very uneven surfaces where you'd have to adjust the height of each leg differently.

I find that it is extremely easy to set up and put away, and it is very light. You are able to adjust the height of the tripod as well as the angle of the camera very easily. I love the versatility of the mounting plate since I am able to screw in my DJI Osmo with my phone, as well as my insta360 and GoPro cameras.

I have seen other tripods out there that are much more expensive so I'd imagine (or at least hope) that it would be much better quality, but not once have I found myself considering purchasing another yet. I think this tripod is quite a bang for your buck!
