VICTIV 74” Camera Tripod, Tripod for Camera and Phone with Phone Holder

Okay so I JUST got this in the mail like 20 minutes ago, but I was very excited to see if it was actually good quality. I got the 74” all black option, normally $39.99 but on sale for $33.99. I was honestly expecting to return it, and I’ve been looking at quite a few tripods that were over $100 but I really didn’t want to spend that much. My last tripod came with my camera, and it was very flimsy and broke a long time ago. Ive been putting off buying one because most reviews talk about it not lasting long, but this one seems AWESOME so far. For starters, the bag it comes in is actually a pretty nice zippered bag, they included 2 of the camera clips which is huge bc those can break easily (at least from other brands), and they included a phone mount attachment, which is super helpful to have. It also came with all the little handles to screw into place, and sturdy little feet to screw onto the bottom of each leg of the tripod. Granted this is only the second tripod I’ve ever owned, but it is by far the best and I out loud said “wow” multiple times because I’m so insanely impressed with how sturdy and high quality it seems to be. The legs extend 4 times, and the camera can be cranked up to be even taller than I am. It is very compact in the bag, super super easy to figure out and put together (took me maybe 5 minutes but would’ve taken less time if I wasn’t ooo-ing and awww-ing the whole time LOL). So far it seems very stable, even with my camera on it. The legs are a BIT stiff to extend/collapse back in, but if anything that just attests to the stability and how sturdy it is, so I’m not complaining about that at all! Just be careful and don’t force it of course. I noticed that the reviews have most things checked off for good across all the reviews, with the exception of “ease of release” but I had no issues with the release mechanism. It kept my camera sturdy and in place but releases very smoothly when you pull the little lever. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with this thing, and I’m very grateful they charged such a reasonable price for it. If anything changes about my opinion I’ll update this, but thus far it seems super versatile and stable/sturdy, and very functional, and I’m really excited to have such a high quality tripod for the price! I’m going on a trip to the mountains soon and I’m so excited to try to get some good long exposure pictures of the stars, I’ll try to remember to update this review with a few good pics of that! 12/10 would recommend, this is a great product and I’m just stoked to have such a great tripod **this is NOT a paid review, these are all my 100% honest opinions. I’m not one to write reviews unless I really love a product or strongly dislike it, and I truly love this tripod so far!!!**

Caveat: I received it today, and have only set it up to learn how it works, as I've never used a tripod before. Real-world operation may reveal issues I haven't encountered yet. That said, it seems to be everything I was hoping for. I own a Nikon D3000, with a telephoto lens, and it held it rock-steady even with the lens fully extended (something I noticed was listed as an issue in a few of the other reviews). To be clear, there is a very small washer included in the plastic bag holding the handle with the screwdriver grip, which is also what holds/releases the horizontal movement - it's quite possible the other reviewers didn't notice it (I nearly didn't), and couldn't get a firm hold without that extra bit of pressure. It seems reasonably sturdy; the catches holding the legs are easy to operate, as is the quick-release pad. The included phone holder also appears to be well made, and grips my phone nicely - a bonus, as it has a case that often makes that a real issue with other phone holders. It's also fairly lightweight, and the included case seems to be at least water-resistant, with a fairly long strap for cross-body carrying. All in all, very happy with my purchase. Will update if I encounter any unexpected issues, but so far, I don't anticipate that being necessary.

This tripod is very stable, easy to set up, and adjusts smoothly to different heights. It's perfect for photography, video recording, and live streaming. The quality exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it.

I bought this to take a few hundred photos with my phone's camera indoors. And for that purpose, it is fantastic. What put it over the top for me was the little remote that allows me to take the picture from a distance. Having both the ability to keep the camera fixed in on single spot and being able to take the pic from somewhere other than in back of the tripod was huge time saver. The height on this tripod is also helpful for providing different options. I found the weight and thickness of the posts perfect for my purposes. Being made out of aluminum, I am not sure how this would do outside in higher wind conditions, but for normal weather, I think it would be just fine. It is certainly stable on its feet. It comes with a bag - which is really helpful. The remote is tiny and easy to misplace. There is also an extra mount in the package. Both of which can be easily kept safe in the bag in between uses. It is worth noting that you do need to detach the head fit everything in the bag. The universal phone holder will work with most phones. It is tension clamp, so that might rule out some foldable designs. An important point about the clamp is that the tension is significant. It is not going to damage the phone, but it takes two hands and some focus to safely remove the phone. I paid less than $40 for this and that is outstanding for something of this caliber. It does all the basic things you want a tripod to do and does them well. It is not intended to professionals and at some point, it's lightweight and lower cost materials will hit their limits.

This was a lifesaver! It's firm and sturdy. Good quality. It is foldable and comes with a carrying case, making it easy for me to transport. It is stable, even on carpet, which I LOVE. This is 1000% better than my last one. I have a Canon Rebel that I have been wanting to mount on something stable for my video projects, and this is a great fit! My concern is the clips on the joints; I am not sure how long it may last. They don't feel like good quality; there is potential for them to break if handled by the wrong person. I would suggest doing the warranty just in case it breaks. On a separate note, this would have been a 5 if the product hadn't arrived used. The seller failed to inspect the tripod. Customers purchase new products and should receive just that. Not a used product unless they purchase it refurbished, which I did not. Unfortunately, I have an event that I need to shoot for, so I cannot return it, but I am disappointed.

Two things you should know is it comes with a handle and a bag that didn’t show up well in the photos. My main reason for buying it was the fact that it said it had a 3/8 inch head bolt. None of the other tripods share that fact or if even the heads detach. I plan on using my own head, a Newer, TH-15 geared three axis head. I’m using it to mount my Dwarf Mini smart telescope so it’s a perfect match. The head that comes with it is entirely plastic, except for the handle. The lifting post in the center, and the handle that raises it are all plastic. In fact the only part that that’s metal are the legs. While the legs extend easily, they don’t spring snap out like the video seems to represent. I would not extend the tripod to its maximum with a heavy load. On the plus side, it makes for an extremely light tripod to carry. The locking spider between the legs helps. For the value of what I paid $32 I would have to spend 300+ to get this tripod features in aluminum. Happy the fit and pairing works so well. The only downside is Amazon ships this with just a simple plastic bag. Hence my box was damaged in shipping. Luckily, none of the contents were affected. Buyer beware!

Well, for openers, I wouldn't exactly consider this tripod to be "Heavy Duty" as stated in the description. It is, however, sturdy enough for me to be comfortable using it with my cameras, including my Nikon P1000, which is a beast, weighing in at just over 3 lbs. without having to worry that it will collapse or blow over in a breeze. I should point out, that when using it with the Nikon, I also use a tripod mount support adapter for weight balance as I do on any other tripod. What it is, is a nicely made, good looking, lightweight and compact tripod suitable for hiking or travel. All functions, like pan and tilt, work well and smoothly and when locked into position, I haven't notice any drift which I consider to be important. It also has a conveniently built in collapsible carry handle, and comes with a nice soft carry case, a smart phone adapter, and an extra mounting plate which I thought was a nice touch and which allows me to change cameras without changing the mounting plate. If something changes in the future, I'll update this review, but, for now, I'm really pleased with it and would definitely buy it again. Oh, and did I say it was good looking too?

I honestly didn’t expect to like this tripod as much as I do. The best part for me is how tall it gets it extends up to 74 inches, which is perfect for recording while standing. No more stacking boxes or trying to balance it on tables to get the right height. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry around. When folded, it’s compact and comes with a bag, so it’s convenient for trips or just keeping in the car. Setup is quick, and the leg locks feel secure once everything is in place. I like that it works for both my camera and my phone since it includes a phone holder. That makes it really versatile for photos, videos, or social media content. For the price, I think it’s a solid option tall, practical, and simple to use. Great for everyday filming or family pictures.

Estoy muy contento con esta compra y lo recomiendo, su calidad en el material es excelente.

Desde el 6 de noviembre de 2023 a la fecha de hoy 30 de enero, no ha habido reembolso. La columna central del trípode, al elevarla, tiene un poco de juego. YA VA PARA 3 MESES Y NO ME HAN REEMBOLSADO LA CANTIDAD.
