JOILCAN Tripod Camera Tripods, 74" Tripod for Camera Phone Video Recording, Heavy Duty Cameras Tripod Stand, Professional Travel DSLR Tripods Compatible with Canon iPhone, Max Load 15 LB

This is a very decent tripod, sturdy and full-featured. It was easy to assemble and set up. I like the little extras like integrated bubble level and cushioned legs that make carrying and positioning easier. The inclusion of an extra mounting plate and vertical bracket is also helpful. The plastic isn't the highest quality but very serviceable. The action on the clips to adjust the length of the legs, the lever arm, telescoping rod etc. all feels good, not perfect but very good. It also folds down to a fairly compact size.If you're looking for something no frills but functional and inexpensive, it's hard to find many flaws here.

I spent less than $35.00 after tax and it came with an awesome bag/tote for the whole package. It works great with my GoPro, my Android phone and also with my DJI lamp Mobile SE. It is very simple to setup. It is worth the price, especially if you are starting a YouTube channel. With the tote that is included, it is incredibly simple to bring with you anywhere. The grip was a nice surprise, because I didn't exactly fully vet this tripod, once I saw how cheap it was, I stopped reading about its features and bought it.

I got it without expecting much, but I was honestly impressed. The tripod is lightweight, stable, and easy to adjust to different heights. I use it for filming my content and it works perfectly. The red design gives it a modern, professional look. If you’re looking for a reliable camera tripod at a great price, this is the one!

I have used other more expensive and more metal component (heavier) tripods similar to this one. I had gotten out of my hobby for awhile and have just gotten back into it, so I thought I would try this tripod.First off, for those that have never used a panhead on a tripod, the knobs and levers do certain things.I have seen reviews where people have complained that the "elastic knob" doesn't hold the camera up, it will droop. It's not supposed to. That's not the "tightening screw/lever" for up and down, it's for panning side to side. You will want to pan at different tensions to control the speed of panning without jerkiness, hence the "elastic knob". Also, you might want to set the tripod legs at a certain position that may not be a good direction for the lens. This is where you can loosen the elastic knob, turn the panhead side to side to aim your camera where you want to, then tighten it down to hold it from moving side to side. The legs stay where they were, on uneven ground where you might have uneven leg extensions so that the tripod is level for panning this is very helpful to not have to move the whole tripod itself and just move the panhead on top.The long thin handle that comes uninstalled screws into the panhead and is what controls the up and down of the camera/lens, that will tighten more than enough to hold any dSLR and lens combo without drooping. The handle is long and thin so you have something to grab and position the up/down of the camera/lens and then just twist to tighten to hold your position. Very useful design.I advise people that have never used a panhead on a tripod to do a quick google search to know exactly how they work, I'm sure you will be pleased with this tripod after having learned how to use it properly.The tripod itself. Lightweight, good. Height, good. Sturdiness, ok. But, it does have a hook under the panhead that you can hang your camera bag or anything else on, and that WILL add a bunch of stability to it. So, definitely not a drawback.Maybe a bit too much plastic (lightweight), so be careful over tightening things, not necessary to do that, either. Also, I wouldn't advise being too rough with it. That doesn't mean it's not a good tripod, I think it is. But, it is a lightweight one with a bit more plastic than a high end professional one would have, and it is at a very attractive price point. So be aware that plastic breaks easier than metal (duh, right?).The quick release plates are a nice add-on, I have used them before. They make it easy to remove the camera for various reasons while using the tripod, but I don't leave them on the camera when I am not using the tripod, I take them off. You'll understand why after using it a few times.All in all, after having used high end tripods with panheads in the past and this one now, I think it is a very good tripod at this price point, hard to beat. I do like the compact and lightweight aspect of it. I have only just received it, so if anything changes with repeated use I will update this review.EDIT: I should mention, as to the stability, I never extend the smallest, bottom legs on any tripod, regardless of how heavy duty it is unless I have to, which I almost never need to do. I'll extend the post the panhead sits on before I extend those bottom legs.The reason for this becomes obvious once you put regular use on a tripod with any height to it. It is the biggest contributor to instability on any tripod, keep 'em closed up unless you absolutely need to use them, then just be aware of how much more unstable those legs are going to make the tripod, any tripod.

The media could not be loaded. So I'm new to the photography world but I know they said a Tripod is highly recommend so here we go ☺️. I must say that I believe this Tripod is going to work just great. It has a lot of parts made of plastic so what I recommend is not to over tighten the parts so you don't wear out the treads. That is the one of the highest mistakes people make. Just tighten enough to hold it in place and this should last you a descent amount of time. Also I saw someone say that it wobbles to much when turning the camera around but the happens because you loosen it to much, so when you're going to maneuver any part of it just loosen enough to be able to move it and you'll have a nice smooth gliding movement 😉. What I also enjoy about this is that it is extremely high, without lifting the last part of the legs it's just shy of my hight and my camera is at a perfect eye level. I would highly recommend 👌 👍. Attached are pictures and a Video.

Really happy with this tripod. It feels solid and well-built, but still lightweight enough to carry around easily. The height is impressive—it extends higher than most tripods in this price range, which is great for getting overhead or eye-level shots without much hassle.The ball head moves smoothly and locks in place securely. Setup and adjustments are quick and straightforward, and it holds my camera steady with no wobble. The carrying case is a nice bonus too.Overall, it’s a great value for the features you get. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly tripod.

Used this tripod to aim our projector at the side of the RV—basically turned our campsite into a drive-in theater we didn’t have to drive to. The JOILCAN stood tall and proud like a cinematic lighthouse in the wilderness, holding the projector steady while we watched movies on the “big screen” (aka the RV’s clean side panel).Height? Plenty. Stability? Rock solid—even on dirt and gravel. It shrugged off wind, wobbly ground, and someone tripping over the guy lines. Setup took less time than roasting a marshmallow (and we didn’t burn anything).Verdict:From RV to HD, this tripod brings the show.5 stars—campfire not included, but highly recommended.
