nice. arrived on time

Time of arrival as expected (almost a month). The packaging was terrible. No protection what so ever, just the original carton package, so the tripod could easily break. No instructions included. You might say "You need instructions for a simple tripod like that, what are you, a 3-year-old?". Well, let's move on to the handling and you'll understand my point: At the first look, I thought that the "heads" vertical movement is controlled by those "knob like" parts left and right. After a while I realized that they can be not tightened or un-tightened because they're fixed. I managed to move the head vertical but it was so stiff that I was afraid that I'd do some damage to it. The same goes to the spinning movement. There's no way to lock it secure, it is just stiff enough to stay put. Which leads to the question: "For how long?". It is still to be seen how long will it take until everything loosens up and render the tripod useless. The grip formed by the three legs folded together is satisfying and I guess it will accommodate even bigger hands than mine. When unfolded, you have a broad based tripod which seems sturdy enough but the legs quality reminds me of that of a common plastic clothes hanger, I expected more.As for the phone attaching part, is pretty standard. Bottom line: - Built materials could be better - There should be some "head" movement locks + It's small enough to carry it in your backpack + The grip its comfy enough + The price is borderline ok for the quality of it
