Amazon Basics 152 cm (60-Inch) Lightweight Camera, DSLR and Binocular Tripod with Bag, Black

I have a camera tripod, but it is somehwere else and I needed one in a hurry. I saw this one, and chose a "Used Like New" option for just over 12 quid. The tripod is in perfect condition, just a dent in the generic brown box. The tripod is nice and light - and has a standard/typical design, with telescopic, locking legs to adjust height. It comes in a plastic zip-up case, which is reasonably sturdy and has enough room for a small accessory or two (like my phone mount). I'm very happy with this, it is great value, works well and it got me out of a hole.

I wanted this to mount a laser level. I was amazed, I don't know how Amazon produce something as well designed and constructed as this for so little money. I guess heavy professional use on a daily basis might be a challenge for it, but for most of us that won't be an issue. Light weight, easy to use, excellent design and finish and has, especially considering the price, a real quality feel to it.

ive been using this tripod for about a year and a half now, im giving it 4 stars as it doesn't feel the most durable and the extender part has unfortunately misaligned with the crank handle meaning it sticks out to the side when fully collapsed making it harder to store in the carry bag, the height of the tripod is very good and has come in handy, there's been times where i have to use it on uneven ground and its nice and easy to extend each leg to keep my camera level, its nice and easy to setup just by loosening the clips and stretching out the legs, for the price i cant complain much its served me well and hopefully i don't have any more issues with it

Picked up the Amazon Basics 60-inch tripod for my camera and binoculars, and for the price, it’s actually pretty decent. Lightweight and easy to carry about with the included bag, which is handy if you’re out and about. The legs extend smoothly and it’s stable enough on flat ground, though I wouldn’t trust it in strong wind or on uneven surfaces – it’s not exactly professional-grade. The head is a bit plasticky but swivels nicely and holds the camera steady for photos and videos. Perfect for hobby use, family photos or a bit of stargazing, but if you’re doing serious photography you’ll probably want something sturdier. For the money though, can’t complain.

I'm really glad I picked up this tripod. It's been an amazing addition to my photography gear. The tripod is super versatile and adjustable. It collapses down into a small compact tripod, easily fitting into rucksacks or bags. It can extend in 3 stages, and turns into a full size tripod. The tripod is super lightweight, but very sturdy and stable once set up. I have used it for my compact digital camera, as well as my DSLR camera, both have been fine on the tripod. It comes with a mount for the camera, which should fit pretty much any camera out there with a standard tripod slot. Once the camera is on the tripod, there full adjustment on the direction, vertical and horizontal angle. Its a great tripod. Very simple and easy to use.

I bought this tripod as a lightweight support for casual photography and occasional mounting of small accessories, and it is very much designed around portability rather than rigidity. In use, the aluminium legs extend smoothly and the lever locks are quick to set, which makes setup painless even when moving between shots. At just over half a kilo it feels almost negligible in a rucksack, and the supplied zippered bag is practical rather than decorative. With a compact camera or a small DSLR and short lens, it balances acceptably, and the integrated bubble level helps speed up basic framing. Where the compromises show is in stability and long-term robustness. The centre column introduces noticeable flex when fully extended, and the three-way head, while functional, feels plasticky and lacks the damping you would expect for precise composition. In calm indoor conditions it performs adequately, but outdoors even mild wind exposes its limits. I would not trust it with heavier bodies or extended lenses despite the quoted load rating. Overall, it is a reasonable tool for occasional use, travel, or beginners, but it is not built for demanding or repeated professional work.

This was better than I expected for the price. It's solidly made and works well at all the differing heights. The easy release camera holder is a very handy as it enables you to take off the camera in a second to capture pice that the tripod can't do. I've only used it twice since I got it but can't find anything to improve on at the moment. For the casual photograher, like me, this definitely won't break the bank and will be a really good addition.

Perfect for my needs. I thought the screw top was too small for my mini proctor but it fits perfectly. My logitech webcam also fits so it's great for my art classes. Nice bit of kit.
