Amazon Basics 60 inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag, Silver

I’ve been using the Amazon Basics 50-inch Lightweight Portable Tripod for a couple of months now, and I absolutely love it. It extends surprisingly high and has been the most crucial piece for my vlogs and content creation journey. It’s super lightweight, easy to carry with the included bag, and works perfectly with both my phone and camera mounts. For the price, the quality is amazing, definitely worth it for anyone starting out or needing something reliable and portable!

I somehow lost my last tripod that I use for making YouTube videos. I found this one and like it so much more than my past one. For the cost you can't beat it. It's nice and tall and sturdy in the wind. The included remote control is really handy also for selfies or taking videos. Works great and I would get again.

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.

Very nice little tripod. Works perfectly. Easy to use and camera fits nicely. Can't wait to see some of the shots when I develop the film!

I snagged it on Prime Day, and for the bargain price, I was expecting something flimsy, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. It's the perfect blend of portability, functionality, and value. The best feature is how incredibly lightweight it is. It comes with a convenient carrying bag, and I can take it anywhere without it feeling like a burden. Setting it up is a breeze—the leg locks are quick and secure, and I can get it to the perfect height in under a minute. The 3-way pan-and-tilt head works smoothly, allowing for great control when framing shots, whether I'm shooting landscape photos or recording video. It feels stable enough for my mirrorless camera and works perfectly for my smartphone with a simple adapter. It’s an incredibly versatile piece of gear. Overall, I couldn't be happier. If you're a hobbyist, a traveler, or just someone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use tripod without breaking the bank, this is an absolute must-buy, especially if you can get it on sale. Highly recommended!

Good tripod for the price, folds down pretty small so good portability. Quick release is easy to use, and should be compatible with anything you need it for. Stands at a good height when fully extended and feels fairly sturdy. Overall a good product and well worth the price if youre looking for a budget tripod.

Amazon "BASICS" is the perfect way to describe it. It is very basic! I will say that it served the purpose which I bought it for. My wife and I traveled by plane to the south western U. S. by plane and I need a tripod that was small enough to fit in a suitcase and this one did just that. The biggest issue is that it's quite wobbly. It probably wouldn't do well for shooting videos but just to put a phone or camera on, set the timer and run around and get in front of it for a photo, it did fine. I would like to see it be a little more stable but as inexpensive as it is, I'm not disappointed.

It worked perfectly for my needs as a second tripod. It's lightweight, well-built, and small. I have a Fujifilm camera with a heavy 18-135mm lens, and it supports it perfectly.

El mejor tripode que he comprado, hasta compré otro para regalarlo. Tiene muchas opciones de usarse, es muy ligero, tiene muy buena estabilidad si lo usas para celular, no lo he usado con otro dispositivo. Tiene muy buena alura. Es genial en verdad. Si estás buscando precio, el precio lo vale, he comprado muchos tripies que se rompen al año de uso y este me ha durado mucho más. Lo recomiendo mucho!!

Just one of those amazing gems you find on Amazon for a wonderful price.

Though I will occasionally use this for photography, I bough it in order to use my laser-level. I am at a loss as to how Amazon can offer a fully-featured tripod of this quality for this price. The tripod comes with its own zipped carrier bag which also has an adjustable carrying strap. But one removed from this carrier and in it’s closed condition it has a built-in carrying handle (something I’ve not seen on previous tripods I owned). Despite Amazon saying it’s lightweight - it is reassuringly weighty, though not overwhelmingly so, and I normally associate weight/solidity with quality in any case. It is a triple-extend tripod (2 position legs and an extendable neck) and with both extension legs in their fully extended positions it is rock solid. The clamps for that are used to release and lock the legs are also solid and there’s no slip when closed or open. The gimbaled rubber feet are also a boon on uneven or slippery surfaces like wooden floors. The head has all the tings you’d expect, rotation, left/right and tilt controls as well as the winder to raise the extended neck, all of which feel solid and sure. There are two spirit levels on this. One circular one above the legs with which you can level the tripod an any surface by adjusting the legs, and another on the head itself so that one can level that (in my case to get it close enough for my laser lever automatic leveling can kick in.) On mine, though, this is a little touchy to say the least. The bubble does not move smoothly, it will go from the edge to the other edge with the tiniest of adjustments and I had to give tiny, gentle taps to make it get to where I wanted it to me, unlike the button circular one in which the bubble moves as expected. But like I said, levels in photography to me are not an issue and as long as that bubble can get close, the laser lever will do the rest. After that it’s just lock it and use the tilt to put the line where I want it to go. I am very happy with the quality of this tripod for the price and have no problems recommending it to anyone looking to buy a completely adequate tripod for whatever reason.

Zugegeben: Ich bin kein Fotoprofi. Aber ich weiß, wann ein Produkt überzeugt – und dieses Stativ hat es auf ganzer Linie. Ich hatte es ursprünglich für private Fotozwecke bestellt, doch als mein Mann, der auf dem Bau arbeitet, es ausprobierte, war schnell klar: Das ist nicht nur etwas für Kameras. Er war so begeistert, dass er es für alle sieben weiteren Baupartien in seiner Gruppe ebenfalls bestellt hat – nicht, weil es kaputtging, sondern weil alle Kollegen eins haben wollten. Stabil, leicht, gut transportierbar – und einfach in der Handhabung. Die Schnellwechselplatte, die Wasserwaage und der 3-Wege-Neiger machen es vielseitig einsetzbar, selbst wenn man kein Technikprofi ist. Und der Preis? 1A. Da gibt es wirklich nichts zu bemängeln oder zu bemeckern. Dass bei diesem geringen Preisaufwand so viel Qualität mitkommt, ist schon ein kleines Wunder. Es sieht obendrein auch noch gut aus – schlicht, funktional, hochwertig. Für alle, die ein solides, preiswertes und überraschend vielseitiges Stativ suchen: klare Kaufempfehlung! Ob auf der Baustelle oder fürs Fotografieren – die ganze Gruppe meines Mannes nutzt inzwischen dieses Amazon Basics Stativ. Und das sagt eigentlich alles.

Does the job as described for a very low price. It's not very tall at 127cm and not super stable. The plastic plate to attach to the head also doesn't inspire much confidence. But It's very light and compact so a great travel tripod for light cameras and definitely beats a rock or mini tripod as tripod. The legs locks feel a bit flimsy but do the job. The leggs don't slide out freely but might after some more use. Only having 3 extension stages makes it quick to deploy and the head while not smooth does have tilt and swivel lock.
