Fugetek Portable Mini Tripod Stand, with Phone Mount, Lightweight, Adjustable, Use for Selfies, Video, Facetime, Livestream, Compatible with iPhone, Android, GoPro, Digital Camera

A very sturdy small tripod. I love it.

Super sturdy.

I use these to mount various experimental sensors. They offer flexibility & mobility at a good value.

This is the best mini tripod I have had so far. It is very sturdy and the legs will not get knocked over easily. The phone mount is a bit hard to get used to because you have to slide it out and squeeze your phone into it. But it is better then the other mini tripod models that I have used.The best part about this tripod is the ball mount and you can rotate it 360. It might take a while to set it into landscape/portrait mode but you can figure it out easily.Once you figure out how you want to rotate your tripod to landscape or portrait mode you can use the locking mechanism in the middle of the ball mount on to lock the position so that it won't move. Slide the lock mechanism to the right to unlock and adjust your phone. Slide to middle or far left to lock it.I saw a review where someone said the head easily breaks. Don't let that fool you, You can simply screw it back in because this tripod has a ball mount. I think that person doesn't know how to use tech.It fits my 6.67 inch phone and my cubot quest phone. I'm also surprise that I can use my gopro 7 black on the camera mount as well. I like to record in portrait mode. Just be careful not to run around with it if you have your gopro attached. If you have a heavier phone make sure to carefully adjust and make sure the 3 tripod legs are well spread out so that it doesn't tip over.

Serves it's purpose as a mini tripod for light weight use. For a GoPro, Action Cam, a cellphone, or maybe a small mirrorless camera you'll be okay. Not too sure about a DSLR or mirrorless equivalent on the heavy side - for that, if I need a mini tripod, I use (and definitely recommend) the Pedco UltraPod II. However, I did recently use the Fugetek on a video shoot recently to hold my YN360 LED light wand and it held up nicely. As you can see from my pics, it's close to the size of the UltraPod, and held up my light wand with a huge heavy battery on it. I didn't give this product 5 stars because when I used the Fugetek on the ground with my GoPro mounted on it, I wasn't able to articulate the ball joint in the Fugetek to point high. It was substantially limited in being able to point a mounted camera at an upward angle -- I had to find things to prop 2 legs elevated to achieve a satisfactory upward shot. Regardless, this is half the price of the UltraPod II and cheaper than the Manfrotto mini tripod, so it serves it's purpose with value. As long as it doesn't break, I'm happy with it and would possibly buy a second one to hold my other YN360 up on quick & dirty mobile shoots on location without lugging heavy gear.**UPDATE**Actually, the ball joint does pivot enough to get a decent vertical inclined angle. You have to move the top mount to a certain position to allow the full movement. Depending on which direction the base is facing and you're trying to move the top mount back, the ball joint will either stop from fully allowing the articulation or go back further. You have to twist the base to find the hidden sweet spot that doesn't block it. I increased my review to 5 stars for the value.

I bought this to hold my iPhone XR which it does very well. I’m a little concerned that the rubber pull tab you use to expand the phone mount may eventually break off but you can open the clamp without using the pull tab. So far the only issue I have is that you can’t aim both below and above the horizon without holding the phone stationary and rotating the ball mount 180 degrees, essentially loosening the phone mount. Suppose you have the phone tilting forward to view a paper on the table and you want to tilt up to view someone standing next to the table. The ball mount won’t go past vertical so you have to hold the phone still and unscrew the ball from the mount by half a turn. Definitely not a deal breaker but it is an inconvenience.UPDATE:I’ve changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars after making a simple modification. There are 7 screws holding all the pieces together. I disassembled all the parts to remove the ball, and then I filed a notch in the plastic housing so the ball mount can rotate past vertical. If you look at the pictures I’m now getting an extra 15-20 degrees of movement so I can tilt down and up without rotating the camera mount. You could remove more of the plastic away to get more movement but it works great for me now. If you remove too much you may lose clamping force.

It's very very sturdy, and made of good thick plastic. It feels built to last. It's smaller than I expected, but I can just prop it on a box and it's still stable. And the included mount for a smartphone makes it a *really* good phone stand too. In fact, that's what I use it for most often, even though I bought it to be a camera tripod.There's a few small issues, but none that really hinder what I use it for. The lock to keep it from moving freely is *very* hard to move, so when I need to move the mount to a new angle I need to use both hands, meaning it's quite hard to get the perfect angle. If you have arthritis or carpal tunnel you might even need someone else to help you. Also, if you're using it to mount a phone it might be good to know that on some phones the holder may press down on the power or volume buttons. I need to move my phone over so it's not perfectly centered, and it can get pretty top heavy.Over all a far higher quality tripod than I thought I'd be getting considering the price.
