"Two different bubble levelers, one for the base and another for the camera, an independent crank riser for additional height, multiple tightening locations to keep your camera in place, and the ability to hold your camera in both landscape and portrait. Since receiving this tripod, I did a "test" where I installed my camera and left it alone for almost five days with the legs fully extended and positioning locations locked / secured."
"The few bad reviews seemed to concern the tripod being shaky when the center tube extension was cranked up and/or the total lack of instructions.I think the two issues are related and Amazon could eliminate 5 of the 7 bad reviews by including instructions. It's not hard to figure out but don't clip your new camera into the quick release mount until you are sure you know how to remove and replace the mounting plate and FULLY lock the cam lever. It's not really quick at all if you don't have a second mounting plate and need to unscrew the plate from the camera and screw it onto the scope. I bought this tripod for my second digital camera, which is about half the size of my first one. Who knows what cameras will look like 5 years from now, but I bet they will have a screw mount in the bottom and a tripod will still be a good idea."
"What a great tripod, for a super reasonable price."

"Bought this tripod to replace a kit tripod that came with my first camera. Cons: Quick Release: The plate for this tripod's release doesn't slide on and off very smoothly, I have to giggle it a little to get the plate back in. This leads me to suspect that if you are using a heavier lens, the screw that attaches the camera to the plate either isn't going in enough to secure the camera or it can't handled the weight of the lens. I use an 18-135mm as my general use lens, and apparently that's heavy enough to cause the camera to tilt downwards while shooting vertically. I don't think the camera is in any danger of coming off the quick releases, since it tightens down quite well, but this slippage is very annoying because I like to shoot vertically to give my shots some character."
"So durable, I am in a wheelchair and I drop things a lot, well I have broken my prior tripod just by it hitting the ground this WON'T BREAK Unless you really try hard, and as hard as I am on my equipment due to my disability , this gets an A+ FOR EVERYTHING .......You won't regret buying this at all, you will love this and fyi the colors are wonderful the rose gold ish color with the black , looks great as well as the monopod , the monopod is fantastic too, I can hold my tripod on my foot plates on my wheelchair and just ride as I take video or when I see a bird flying up high, I have even shot stars really and they came out wonderful , with out this tripod my photos were just ok now they are wonderful ."
"Recently purchased it for my older brother, his is a landscape photographer, this tripod is an impressive item before you even take it out from the very neat little carry bag that is included."
"For the money, its surprisingly decent."
"(only thing that I see is plastic). *separate locks for the panning and tilt. The only thing that I am a little confused about before purchasing is no handle for panning."

"- The video/still panning dial/lock is also a very nice feature, allowing you to really lock down the vertical tilt while still being able to smoothly pan horizontally when shooting video. And then when you need to you can just flip the knob and be able to lock down both pan and tilt securely (like for still photography)."
"There are lots of knobs and different, small adjustable mechanisms that make it slightly less user friendly than my old tripod - but exponentially more accurate and precise."
"We like the release clip to free the small piece to mount on the bottom of the camera / phone. NOTE: In video, I show a separate selfie stick attachment which I can use to mount a smartphone on the mounting clip for the tripod."
"I just brought my canon camera last november and i haven’t able to buy a tripod but when i saw this tripod i immediately brought this."
"I love the quality of this product compared to the known brands out there in the market."
"Either way the stand could hold the projector steadily, without any problem."
"If u want to take a nice picture and u don't have a steady hand get a tripod it'll solve ur problem."

This is exactly what I was looking for in a tripod. UPDATE: 5/10/2016. I've had, and greatly enjoyed this tripod for four months now but tonight I was going over my gear and straightened one of the legs out and all of a sudden, one fell off."
"The most important is to UNDERSTAND that if you buy this combo it doesnt mean that it will replace your regular (big) tripod. This tripod would have save me a lot of time asking strangers to take pictures of me and my girlfriend while traveling in Paris and Brussels."
"Despite reading the bad reviews, I took the chance and bought it, keeping in mind the tips on how to minimize the "abuse" that the tripod might go through... but then two legs came off and my camera took a dive off of the "tight" mounting plate. The workflow was always the same: 1) Check the plate knob to make sure it was tight; 2) Carefully adjust the legs around the mounting point, being mindful of not applying too much stress at the point where the legs connect to the ballhead; 3) Adjusting the ballhead for the shot; 4) Carefully removing the legs from the mounting point, being mindful of not applying too much stress at the point where the legs connect to the ballhead. But on the last day of my trip, and the reason for this one star review, is that two of the legs came off and the plate failed on me."

"I picked up my tripod and started to move, and when I tilted the clamp to the side, the I-Pad started to slip out.. so you need to keep it vertical or flat when moving it."
"Just received it."
"Works perfectly on my Nexus tablet and also holds my Nexus6 phone in landscape mode."
"It worked as advertised."
"Works fine, wish it had some sort of tilt/pan ability for minor adjustments on it's own."
"It doesn't tilt so make sure your tripod can tilt or you have a mini ball head to attach it to ... Lastly, I did crack the screen on my tablet."
"It is the first "universal" tablet mount that I have been able to use with a Griffin Survivor case on my IPAD mini2."

"The UltraPod can be tossed in your backpack or pocket and can hold a camera like my Sony Nex5 while remaining stable."
"Having a shutter release remote is helpful so you can kneel over it rather than be on the ground with it (and better for your photography in general!)."
"But as my camera grew in size from a small 12oz 3" x 3" point and shoot, the smaller tripod's narrow base didn't allow a larger camera with zoom to be balanced stably on it."
"I shot the Milky Way from the Smokey Mountains and the tripod held rock steady on the ground."
"It doesn't do much for vibration absorption, but you should expect that since its a solid piece of plastic connected directly. Actually felt quite nice as an extended handle while on my neck strap, it kept my camera from flopping around as I walked."
"I tried several different travel tripods, which were awkward, heavier than I wanted and did not fold up small enough for my camera bag."

"The first shot I tried I couldn't see my screen because it was very bright and sunny out but my husband was laughing and telling me to keep shooting because my doberman had come up behind me and saw my phone (which is usually pointed at him) and he stopped and posed with me."
"This u-shape clam is secured with a wing nut (easy to handle) which has plastic coating outside and metal thread inside (good quality!). At the bottom of the handle you have micro-usb connector for charging it, including LED, and also an adjustable wrist strap - excellent idea for extra security. At the top of the handle, right where your thumb is, you have a multi-function button which turns the power on (by holding it down), enters in pair up mode, and also remotely triggers your phone camera. Honestly, I was very impressed with a build quality, durability, and ease of operation when using MPow iSnap X selfie bluetooth stick. It's very comfortable to hold, very lightweight at only 145g, has a smooth telescopic mechanism, very secure u-shape clamp grip, and convenience of remote bluetooth button to take selfie pictures or videos."
"If you use the camera for either video or stills, this selfie stick does one thing you really don't see in many reviews - it takes most of the shake out of your content. A big hint for better selfie stick videos: I use my old iPhone earbuds (one ear stopped working) so I cut both earbuds off and plug the remaining cable which has the mic still working in, and I rubber band it to the stick handle for loud clear audio even when fully extended."
"I saw the selfie stick craze shoot up and decided I would try it out, I saw other people with ones that looked cheap and had the possibility of breaking after awhile so I wanted one that was durable and that's what I got."
"I decided to buy one as this item is really good when you travel and don't want to screw your photos with people that can't compose right. The only issue is that whenever you change the connection between phones, you have to re-pair the bluetooth chips."
"(both have cases on them). •Silicon material on the phone clamp adds an extra protection as it does not scratch your phone and helps grip it better. CONS. •It would be nice if there was an indicator of the battery life. Overall it's a great product I use it constantly!!"

"I hated the idea of selfie sticks when they first came out...but after about a year of reaistance I finally broke down."
"I even accidentally put it underwater in a jacuzzi but it started workinf just fine after drying it out for a few minutes!"
"I’m hoping the seller / manufacturer will make good on my purchase as it supposed to have an 18month warranty.EDITED- I just received my replacement selfie stick for the one that was defective- it charged quickly and was easy to pair to my phone and works great."
"This one folds down very compact, and had a nicely designed head. The hinge is also very nicely designed, because you can tighten it with one hand, and loosen it to where you can twist it to your desired position and have it hold well enough to let go of the phone and tighten it without it slopping around."
"This selfie stick is pretty great."
