MACTREM 84" Camera Tripod, DSLR Tripod Heavy Duty for Travel, 360 ° Ball Head Professional Aluminum Tripod & Monopod with Carry Bag Compatible with Canon Nikon Binoculars Laser Telescope, 33lb Load

TLDR: High quality, sturdy, extremely modular and transformable. Great price. Buy now. There's literally no reason you should keep reading, just cough it up already.LONG VERSION:Discovery-I found this tripod on YouTube, searching for the right one to use with my phone and an external mic. I came across this one, looked at the reviews/pictures, and decided to purchase it. I couldn't have made a better decision when it comes to choosing the right tripod for my needs, which, for you good Christian mothers out there, involves nature shots, camping videos, and nothing of the adult variety. Call me.Packaging-The tripod and accessories came in their own bag, covered in plastic, within a "show box" (standard advertising box for items with labels, etc.),, looking very sexy, which was within an Amazon box filled with plastic air packing pads. The item arrived safely and shipping only took 2-3 days, despite it being the holidays.The Bag-High quality, durable, simple as your Alabamian cousin. Zipper works perfectly. It's a bag.What's in the Bag?-Well, I'm glad you asked! The tripod itself, along with a camera attachment/accessory, a phone attachment/accessory, and a small plastic bag containing small wrenches for the legs. There was also air in the bag. Smells pretty good honestly. Like a new tripod bag. Not like your finger, which you need to keep to yourself.The Tripod-Relatively lightweight. Not indestructible (otherwise it wouldn't be light as adamantium is very heavy), but very durable, strong and steady. Very modular and multipurpose. The leg with the soft grip and brand name on it can be unscrewed and, with the center pole that it attaches to (or the camera attachment itself) can be screwed back together to form a selfie stick, which you can stick yourself with, separate from the legs and joint. The branded pole with the grip has a 3/8" male thread, which would also fit any other attachments purchased and meant for that size, which gives you even more options. Ladies. ;)This tripod is a MONSTER when it comes to its ability to transform, which is one of biggest reasons I bought it. Frankly, it's nuts. I'm nuts. You're nuts. Your nuts. Let's talk about those later. As stated above, it can go from a tripod to a sole selfie stick. It can also EXTEEEEENNNDDD, all the way from a small, portable table top tripod, to the advertised height of 80", which is crazy. It's like you took a regular tripod and gave it those pills you bought from your Gmail spam folder. You can get some great shots from that view. Good luck seeing through your viewfinder though, unless you're Yao Ming or a gymnast who does couples geometry . This could also be helpful in a situation where your body is at a higher elevation, say on a hill or a rock, where there's no room for the tripod, only in front of you, at a lower elevation. The opposite is also possible if you retract the legs while your body is at a lower elevation, say... Looking through your window at the undressing grandmother across the street while projectile vomiting onto the tenant below you in your apartment complex.The legs can be individually adjusted at three extension points, and one angle point, which features a spring-loaded clip that is very easy to use, and is capable of clipping at three notch points, or moving up and over all of them to fold the legs up towards the top of the tripod for storage. The legs are metal and durable, but I wouldn't slam them over my knee and spank them anytime soon, as they're obviously hollow metal, and will bend severely. As long as you don't do that, you shouldn't have to be too careful. That's a good tripod.The extension grips are solid, smooth, and easy to loosen or tighten. They have rubber grips, which prevent your hands from slipping. Some of you may be able to compare that with a kink of yours. The feet of the legs are soft yet durable rubber, which pop off to reveal smaller metal feet, which can be pierced into the ground in order to plant the tripod in a natural environment, or used to fend off a wild, feral human. I will also note that the rubber feet enable you to save your poor hardwood floor from unwanted abuse, unlike your second wife. The clips on the leg extensions are very strong and tight, like a man's dominant hand grip.The camera mount has a 3/8" female thread on its bottom, unlike the second asshole the government has torn you. This accessory has a circular level for finding a straight shot according to gravity. Just keep a fair distance from your mom when measuring. The attachment also has a ball at the top, so you can turn and angle the camera in almost any direction, much like your sexuality in college. Don't worry, we all go through experimental phases of some sort. The ball can be tightened and locked in place (guys, I'm sorry) with one of the plastic screws on the side. The top of this attachment also (obviously) has a camera mount with another screw for tightening.The phone attachment is solid plastic but durable and basic. The part that grips onto your phone has rubber contact feet to keep your baby nice and new, along with a foam backplate to protect it's perfect, smooth, oily backside. There is a screw on the back to lock the rotation. This attachment features a 1/4" thread hole on the bottom AND top, leaving you with the option of mounting an external mic or light.Now, you may be asking, "how do I fit the phone attachment with a 1/4" thread hole onto the tripod's 3/8 thread?", "how did I get this disease?", "what're my treatment options?", "how will this affect my loved ones?"... Well, we here at the Amazon Friendship and Review Coalition are here to help. You see that male thread protruding from the top of the tripod after taking the camera attachment off? Well, that grippy circular thingymabobber under it is what you have to use to unscrew the thread itself. That's right; it's threaded on both ends, and guess what's on the other side? A 1/4" thread! Ho-ly! Now, you flip that over, screw it back in with that grippy circular thing with a hex fitting that the thread drops into, and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE! You have a 1/4" thread! I assure you that that is not below average my friend. Trust me. Because I said so. Now, you screw the phone attachment on, and you're all set to shoot a bedroom escapade.This concludes our review and we return you to our regularly scheduled program; Debby Does Dallas.

This is a quality tripod, well designed, with precision and function. Quite a step up from usual low cost generic tripods. I don’t own high end tripods to compare, but this satisfies the price-value point. Comes with a bracket for phone mount. Nice touch.

El trípode es mejor de lo que esperaba, ha sido resistente para lo que lo he sometido.

This is a pretty solid tripod! Being able to convert it to a monopod is nice.

This is a light versatile tripod.

Great

I have not had much need for a tripod since I bought this one back in December. I think I have used it three time at most and when I used it it was taking it from my house or car and setting it up and taking a few pictures and then collapsing it and putting it away. I have travelled with it only once and that is just this week.So now you have the back ground, now you get to hear what has happened. The second time I used it I discovered one of the feet missing. It has completely unthreaded and was gone. I have no clue where it went. I have had no reason to even mess with the feet. It has simply come loose (some sort of vibration in moving it around I suppose). Can't find a replacement foot so I had to make on from a 1/4-20 bolt and some epoxy puddy. No problem, it is ugly but it works.Fast forward a couple of months and I have my tripod all folded up and attached to my backpack. I travel thousands of miles on a trip of a life time. The tripod makes it through all the plane travel. All I have done is remove it from my backpage (strapped to the side) up until this point. We are in Budapest and walked around all day. Then as we are walking one leg of the tripod falls to the ground. My son sees it and we pick up the pieces. The leg had come completely out and the two little half cylinder plastic pieces that are designed to keep the leg from fall out when the screw clamp is loose are on the ground. We reinstall every thing and tighten everything up. We move on. Later that night as we are walking along the river trying to capture the lights of the city (you need a tripod to do that) we setup with the tripod at the lowest height (legs are not extended). We snap a few shots and move along. We we are walking to the third setup location and the leg comes completely apart again! This time the half cylinder inserts are stuck up inside the leg. Try putting it together in the dark and the screw clap won't clamp down. It is dark and we look around for extra pieces. Cant find anything. We get back to our flat and discover the inserts to the screw clamp are missing. Result is I'm on day two of a two week European vacation and I have a useless tripod. Pissed off would be an understatement. I have used this tripod 4-5 times! Way beyond the return policy and I'm without a tripod.

Mejor de lo esperado!!!
