Customer Reviews

Tripod head is all metal, no plastic parts to break or strip so camera weight is not an issue. Joints and machine screws came factory lubricated and hold true in any position. Head is removable and quick release mount is spring loaded and locks solid (also metal). Legs lock in place with plastic compression clamps that are quite sturdy. Elevator gear moves flawless after a few squirts of DW 40 or Silicone. No spikes on feet. Weight hook is plastic, flimsy and worthless. All in all having a metal head with your tripod is worth the price. Most tripods are junk but they made this one right! You should buy it. Comes with a great bag.

This tripod is a really decent heavy duty tripod, and should be able to handle an SLR camera with a heavy 400+mm lense. BUT, mine arrived damaged. I contacted Zeikos about a simple replacement part, and was told they could not supply the part over the phone (?) and to send them an email with the request. I sent 2 emails with no replies. Received a refund from the seller. Make sure you're dealing with a decent seller before taking a chance with this tripod.

Customer Reviews

Got this tripod as a gift from my Wife and I just loved it . I travel a lot and this tripod is just perfect for travel. Fits easily in my Bag , very light weight , so no airlines hassles and durable enough to bear the check-in bumps. As for the tripod it has 3 leg partitions which when expended makes it a very decent size tripod . I don't have a very bulky camera which weighs like 1-2 lbs , this tripod holds it very stable . Night pics came out good as expected when mounted to a tripod .Overall very good value for money for the price less than $10.00. Highly recommended for travellers.

For under ten bucks, the Ravelli APLT2 tripod gives you about all you can reasonably expect for your money. Of course at this price, construction and materials are not the best, but the tripod is still fairly sturdy and functional, and tripod can probably handle the weight of most point and shoots without major issues. While it might be able to handle a DSLR with a lightweight lens, this tripod should not be the first choice of a photographer using a DSLR.
The aluminum legs have four sections, and can achieve a maximum height of 43 inches. The center column can also be raised, making the absolute maximum height about 49 inches. With the legs spread out, the tripod is fairly stable, but can still be somewhat prone to being tipped over, particularly if a heavy load is attached. The tripod's weight limit is not stated, but if you value your gear, you would be well advised not to take chances if a setup seems unstable.
The tripod is attached directed to the camera's tripod screw mount. There is no detachable base plate, or ball head. The camera can be setup in most positions, but it may take a little more work and time to get it set and locked into place. Changing positions isn't as quick and easy as a tripod with a ball head fitting. It will increase the cost, but convenience can be improved, if you add a ball head, or you can look at the more full-featured Ravelli APLT4 61" Light Weight Aluminum Tripod With Bag and Free Mini Wire Leg Tripod.
For a DSLR user, while not the first choice as your primary tripod, this compact rig could come in handy when you want to travel light, or just need a tripod for some limited simple setups. Build quality is a little rough in places, but should get the job done, providing you don't overload it. It comes with a carrying case, and a simple to use wire legged mini tripod that is quite handy. Also best suited to a point and shoot, the mini tripod has legs that are nice and stiff, and easy to set up. All together, this is an excellent value buy that could help improve your photography.

Customer Reviews

This is a well-made, sturdy tripod. It is easy to assemble and easy to fold away when you have finished. And its compact folded dimensions are very handy. I compared the claimed specs with what I found, as follows:
Claimed folded length 14 inches. I found 13 7/8 inches.
Claimed extended height 39 inches, I found 39 3/8 inches
Claimed weight 1.8 lb, I found 1.45 lb.
When fully extended it seems a bit short, but this is, no doubt, a result of designing it to fold up so compactly. I have had sturdier tripods, but this one is certainly sturdy enough for most photographic opportunities.

Bought this after reviewing other tripods including the SLIK Compact-xl.
It is lightweight, but DOES NOT feel flimsy. Everything about this tripod has a solid firm feel to it.
The locking mechanism is cam-lock like heavier tripods (the reason I chose this over the SLIK Compact-XL which has a twist lock mechanism that I have found tends to fail over time).
The technical specs on Amazon ARE incorrect. This tripod DOES NOT HAVE a quick release as the specs say it does.
I was a bit put off by that fact because that was somewhat important to me. Given I am leaving in less than a week it doesn't give me enough time to find are replacement that does. However, I will say the large knurled knob for the locking screw mechanism is very smooth and easy to operate so it doesn't take too long to lock the camera/camcorder in place. Typically the screw mechanism requires you to have small fingers and be very dexterous, or use some kind of coin to lock the camera in place (hence the advantage of having a quick release/lock)
No sharp corners anywhere, which is great so you don't have to worry about tearing a hole in your rain jacket(or anything else for that matter) because it is packed in the backpack along with your tripod!
Does NOT have a crank handle to raise the platform, which I LOVE. Nobody I know adjusts the camera height so precisely as to require a crank handle ! A quick twist lock mechanism holds the platform in place, AND there is some kind internal limit pin to prevent you from pulling the platform shaft right out of the guide tube (nice touch when you are in a hurry)
Full extended the height with the platform raised is a complete 39.5" to the platform so even for a tall person it is not a lot of bending over.
Comes with a nylon carrying case which is convenient when just going for a short hike/walk.
Would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that it does not have the quick release.

Customer Reviews

Was really surprised when I received the tripod. Sturdy, simple, and good looking. Seems very sturdy for the price, plus its compact, and with a little care should last a long time. Wanted something that I could put in the car and not have to worry about losing a big buck item if someone accidently sat on it. Since I'm not a professional photographer, I just needed a simple tripod that gets the job done, and this is it.

I ordered this tripod because the description reads, among other things, "Weighs Just Over One Pound for incredible portability and versatility." Too good to be true. And is wasn't true. It weighs close to 3 pounds. I wanted an extra-lightweight tripod to pack in my suitcase for an overseas trip. These days every ounce in your suitcase counts. I'll probably bring my old, beat-up, but a bit lighter, Focal tripod bought at K-mart years ago. The Focal isn't as well put together, and the legs must be tightening by screwing, rather than by clipping. The new tripod is a better tripod - but just heavier than I wanted.
I'll probably send this one back. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew how much it really weighs.

Customer Reviews

Before buying this item, I did lot of research on all types of tripod.
1. All Flexi mini Tripods in this category are same except Brand name on Tripod. I purchased Zeikos and other 2 brands from Amazon.
I tried this tripod on Sony Cybershot DSC (Whose tripod holder is not at center place (Sony likes different)). but I did not face any issue with that.
This Tripod strong enough for a Canon SX10IS.(its similar to SLR without additional lenses. But You need to spread out the legs of Tripod.)
2. I bought this mini Flexi tripod and ended up making this my travel companion. Here are my reasons for liking it a lot:
- It's sturdier than I expected. The rubber feet prevent slipping and the flexible legs can easily hold a typical camera without bending under the weight.
- While it's light enough to carry around, you can keep in your pocket. Flexi Tripod size is less than 6".
- With the legs spread out at the bottom it makes a great grip for little cameras.
- Its perfect replacement for Mini Tripod also Mini Tripod are more bulkier, heavier.
- Flexi Tripod helps you a lot to take pictures on self timer with less space available for Tripod.
- You can spread out the legs also bend/twist the legs (not at great extend)to adjust the angle.
- Unlike straight-leg tripods, you can make the feet grip a vertical edge, like a cube partition.
- shooting at a low speed and risk of blurring the shot, You can use any object/ place for stability (6" X 6" place is more than enough)
- Very nice tripod for who thinks they are not professional photographers.
Drawbacks
- One design drawback is the mounting screw is fixed. You don't get a little thumb knob to twist when mounting the camera, you have to rotate the whole tripod. But it's so small and the legs squeeze together so close that it's easy to do.
- Tripod height is less if you keep on ground its but obvious it makes some angle when you are standing for photograph.
- I am not sure about life of this Tripod, But It can go for 2-3 years at least :)
Conclusion:
Hello!
You are buying this item for nothing. This item is just for $1-$4 range. Don't compare with Costly gorilla pod/ mini Tripod.
Who needs quick photographs at any place(and bother to ask others for clicking your snap). If you lost this item you will never mind.
This item is great you can go for that.

On both sides of the scale, size is a factor.
Straight to the point:
Pros:
+ Light ; portable
+ Surprisingly stable in most placements
+ Flexibility offers a decent variety of angles
Cons:
- Diminutive size/weight prevents straight-down angling due to loss of stability. Also Squaring horizontally is "iffy" due to the bendy-legs
- Painted legs began shedding tiny flakes of black paint.
At about 4-3/4" tall (base to feet) ; armed with a pocket clip, this little twerp can travel with you about anywhere. Flexible, rubber-ended legs allow a variety of angle placements, as long as perfectly horizontal isn't one of them.
It does lose stability if you try to angle down much, so you may want to look elsewhere for a table-top macro photo tripod.
Ultimately paint flaking off the legs sealed it's fate as "just ok" for me. I did get some use out of it at a near-nothing price (light, indoor only use). Unfortunately, the continual shedding of little black crumbs isn't something I want near a camera (or any optics).
Aside from this issue, it was an alright little 'pod at a near-nothing price.

Customer Reviews

This tripod would be great to stabilize small point-and-shoot cameras, but it cannot hold my Canon SLR. As soon as I tightened everything up and let go of the camera, the camera started pointing down until it was straight down. No matter how tight I got it, it could not hold my camera up. Plus, the base that you screw into your camera is very small, so if your camera is heavy, it pops out of the tripod (Luckily I had my hands underneath when my camera fell off the tripod).
So, if you have a heavy camera, steer clear.
If you have a light camera, this tripod is perfect for on the go. It is super light, folds down to a very small size for a tripod, and has all the settings to get the shot you need.
I chose to give it a 4 star rating because I got it as a gift, and now I notice it mentions in the description it has a 2.5 pound load capacity. I'm not quite sure I would put a 2.5 pound camera on it though - small point-and-shoot cameras will be perfectly fine.
I need to get a more heavy-duty tripod, but if you have a small camera, I think this tripod is a good find.

When a seller uses the word "Professional" in their description of their product, it leads one to believe that the item is of very high quality. Such was not the case...AT ALL...with this Tripod! It is an awful piece of junk that we cannot use and we were so disappointed in our purchase. (Especially since it was a Christmas gift). It is terribly unsteady, shaky, and pretty much worthless. We suppose that's the nature of shopping online...you never know what you're going to get, good or bad. And this time it was bad. :(

Customer Reviews

Overall, this is a decent bargain tripod. The legs appear to be aluminum, and most of the rest of the unit is plastic or PVC. It has a quick-release head for attaching your camera but it only comes with one quick-release attachment, which sort of reduces the utility of it, although I'm sure you can buy more somewhere.
The BAD news is that this unit is cheap, light and flimsy. The GOOD news is that it is that it is cheap and light! For the price, I would call it an excellent value, especially for someone who needs to carry it around with them since it is so light weight.
Many ultra-light tripods feature a hook on the bottom of the centerpost that allows you to tie a bag of rocks or dirt or whatever to weigh down the tripod for steadier shooting. Although the picture of this item shows such a hook, my unit did not come with one. Fortunately you can always tie a weight on with string if you need to.
If you have a slightly higher budget I would recommend looking at the various tripods by Sunpak first. And if you can afford them I would also look at Slik brand tripods as well.

This tripod has everything you would ever want, from it's quick release plate in the tilting head, to it's crank elevator with locking ring, to it's easy to use leg locks to its self leveling, gimballed rubber feet. The tripod's legs brace to the center post and lock. There are spirit levels on the the head and at the point where the legs meet. there is even a hook on the bottom of the elevator post for your camera bag or a weight for extra stability. The tripod is light, has a built in carrying handle and even comes with a carrying case. A tripod with all these features usually costs over $100. There is only one problem, its not that stable. The materials used to construct this thing are as cheap and flimsly as they could get away with. Its perfectly adequate for the very lightest of still cameras but I wouldn't recommend it for even the lightest of video cameras. The tilt head cannot be tilted or panned smoothly for even the most elementary of moving shots. The legs only extent to about 3' the last 1' of height is achieved with the center post which even when locked is wobbly. Not a design flaw, the instability is due entirely to the materials used in construction. It does rate 3 stars because of it's light weight, brilliant design and low cost but "buyer beware" this is only good for lightweight cameras. It's not a bad alternative to a fullsize tripod if you are tring to travel light and want something more substantial than a tabletop unit.
