Amazon Basics 152cm/60inch Camera Tripod, Lightweight, with Bag, Adjustable Height, for DSLR Cameras, 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.

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.

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.

My wife got me this as a present. It fits the Panasonic HC- X3 perfectly. It’s. Feels so secure when the camera is attached and the function to twist and tilt the angle is easy and effective. The bag is a great addition too as it makes it easy for transport and storage. I’m made up with it.

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.

When I moved to England, I left my heavy and expensive tripod at home due to the weight restrictions of flight luggage and I decided to ditch all non-essential heavy items. The plan was to bring it when I go on vacation. I decided to get something cheaper , lighter and portable(probably disposable without any guilt) in the meantime. This tripod ticked all my requirements. However, things didn't go as planned because of COVID 19 and I could not bring my tripod until 2022 February. I ended up using the cheaper Amazon tripod for 3 years. I have even taken it to shoots and it worked just fine. It is lightweight, and for the same reason can get a bit wobbly when you extend it fully. But since it was lightweight I ended up taking it with me most of the time. It has a cheap, plastic quick release plate. But it works. The spring of the quick release plate came out recently, however, I am now mostly using it as a tripod for my phone, so it works just fine. For its price, it did hold up very well. It may be suitable for someone who need a decent, lightweight tripod to take out on hikes and travels.

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.
