UFO Basic Camera Tripod

Used this twice now, once outdoors once indoors and the build quality is really solid, the flexibility and rigidness of it is really worth the extra £5-£7 instead of the cheaper versions, exactly the reason I sought out this one. I opted for this one over the “anozer” and “goofoto” brands and that’s served me pretty well so far. The mount can swivel when your phone’s secured within it and the body is pretty easily adjustable with a little force, before it arrived I was also concerned about the width of the holder and if it could fit my iPhone 12 Pro Max (with a pretty thick case) inside it, but it could with no issue, so you can pretty much fit any phone into it I think, do yourself a favour and spend the extra £5-£7 on one of these ones and not the foam style or ball ones, and btw this is a real review if you were wondering about the legitimacy of my words lmao, these are a decent bit of kit for capturing iPhone footage, haven’t tried a camera in it yet, put it next to a size 4 pair of shoes for size relativity in the photo, hope you enjoy yours if you get one, regardless of the brand.

Model: UFO basic. I bought this version as the ballhead on the UFO 2 seems to 'sag' a bit with heavier cameras. The Basic model holds up to 1200g and you can put your own superior ballhead on. Pros: - Of good quality - Very flexible - Price = £17.99 - lightweight = 230g - You can attach your own ballhead. I use the Benro N00, which weighs 150g - Compact size - As pictured, the tripod is able to support my camera (olympus OMD M10 II + 17mm) which weighs 613g plus the 150g ballhead. Combined this accounts for 63.6% of the total weight that the tripod can support. Cons: - Sadly, a 1/4" female to 3/8" male adapter was not included (most ballheads use 3/8" thread). I picked one up from ebay for £1.74, however I think it would be nice if this was included. - The rubber coating of the legs is a bit of a dust magnet. They can be wiped clean though. - The legs are not as long as that of the Joby Gorillapod 1k or 3k. This will limit the maximum diameter of the object for which you wish to wrap the tripod around. Overall impression: A very useful addition to my tripod arsenal at a very reasonable price. I would recommend as a Joby Gorillapod alternative.

Used this with my sony a5000 on a weekend trip through Europe. It was great was able to mount it in the most bizarre things and it was string enough to hold up my camera. It was really light too couldn't feel it in my backpack and was comfortable when holding it in my hand. Great purchase.

I bought this for a holiday in Bali, and used it with a Sony Alpha mirrorless camera, and it did the job well. The legs are very strong and grip well when you wrap them round something. Better than the old Gorillapod I used to have, because they've got a rubberised texture which makes them more grippy on slick surfaces, and the flatter shape to the legs means you can wrap them in tighter on things as well. I would definitely recommend getting a quick-release head to pair with it if you're going to be out and about on the go - it elevates it to another level still.

I feel like this is a better product than a Gorillapod. I love the rubber maneuverable legs and they are easier in the hand and easier to adjust than the GP. The legs would be slightly better if they had more of an opening angle which is quite narrow and makes the tripod less sturdy if you just want a quick shot. Good product and great for vlogging on the go

I’ve bought this twice and looking back at my orders, the first lasted for one year and the second one lasted a little longer at 14 months. I use them in my garden with my trailcam for a few months each year, watching the comings and goings of visiting hedgehogs. Once they fail, it’s a pretty rapid decline - they become very floppy and won’t stand in place. I’ve never twisted them as shown in the listing, I just use it as a simple tripod standing on the ground. I’m sure if you twist it around it’ll have an even shorter life! So in précis - it’s good when new, but don’t expect it to last long! I’ll be looking for a different tripod to replace this one - hopefully one which is built to last!

Love this thing, I used to have a small gorilla pod and this feels much more sturdy, has more movement, is longer, etc, etc. Only issue for me is the phone mount didn't have any rotation in it, but it doesn't claim to and horizontal is typically what you will want unless you're filming for TikTok. It's not a problem, you can buy a nice mount that does exactly what you need for very reasonable prices.

Bought this for my Mrs who has Parkinson's so shakes. She uses facetime and FB messenger a lot which is portrait. This holder didn't do that. Other than that it seems solid. I modded it so she could use it.

Jag gillar detta. Använder det ofta, det är stadigt och stabilt!

The camera tripod is light to transport and sturdy enough to be stable when fitted with an SLR camera (no large lens though!). Its legs are very flexible and keeps the camera in place when using it attached to a pole or a branch.

Uso questo treppiede molto simpatico ormai da qualche mese. Secondo me è uno dei migliori in commercio, sia per la qualità dei materiali sia per la sua stabilità e capacità di peso. Le tre gambe snodabili sono fantastiche, si adatta a tutto e sono davvero malleabili. La stabilità è incredibile, io lo utilizzo sia con il mio huawei p30 pro sia con la mia mirrorless sony. Lo utilizzo spesso per realizzare foto a lunga esposizione, sopratutto di notte, ed è comodissimo perchè mi entra in borsa senza portare zaini in più. Io lo considero ormai un compagno di avventure perchè lo porto sempre con me. L'unico neo è che le gambe di questo treppiede, essendo rivestite da una gomma nera opaca, tende e riempirsi di polvere. Ma secondo me non è una cosa importante, solo estetica. Per il resto ottimo, consigliatissimo! Sopratutto per chi viaggia.
