[Aluminum] This product is both solid and dependable, it exceeded my expectations and has been flawless. It can hold a good amount of weight without worry of it falling over or coming unclamped if you wrap it around something. It’s light weight and can easily be tossed in your bag. I highly recommend this product and I’ve been using it daily.

[Ball Head] I brought this to outdoor adventure to self take my own pictures and videos on my iPhone 11. I love how the ballhead base flip to turn into an extendable cellphone holder.


This is lightweight which is great in terms of reducing the weight that I carry for backpacking. However, it is solid and stable that I can trust this for my phone and mirrorless camera.


I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a smaller and lightweight tripod for traveling and hiking.

[Aluminum] This minitripod is built solid and you can twist and turn the legs all you want and it won't break. I have hung it on trees, door knobs, fences and places you cant even imagine, and it has stood the test of time. It doesn't slip on uneven surfaces and does a great job of holding my iphone. It also has been a great back tripod for times I have limited space and need to mount my mirrorless camera to record myself. And to those countless times I needed to record myself and no one was available, the GVM mini Tripod has always been there for me. If you are on the fence of getting it, don't be. It's reasonably priced with many features and built to last.

[0.86 lb] I have received 5 different mini tripods to review over the past few years and this one is my favorite.
Pros:
- Small and lightweight with the carbon fiber legs
- Decent load capacity capable of handling my DSLR and heavier lenses
- The adjustable legs can provide a very stable and wide base on uneven surfaces
- You can get a bit of height out of it, even though it's small
- The Arca compatibility works with my Peak Design Capture Clip plate
- It's quick to setup as long as you leave the center post on or off
- Rubber feet and metal pointed feet when needed
Cons:
- You need to make sure to really tighten the plate in order to secure the camera or it may loosen (I just use my Peak Design Capture Clip plate with it)
- It takes a little longer to set up if you attach and remove the center post each time / carry it in the case each time (I don't do this)

[Aluminum] This is my first mini tripod and I have to say that I absolutely love it. Holds my Samsung Galaxy S8 really good and can rotate 180 degrees and also straight down or up. Legs are super flexible and sturdy. Great for capturing BTS when you don't have a second shooter and will fit nicely in any travel size backpack. I will be taking it everywhere with me now.

[Ball Head] While perfect for handheld vlogging (which admittedly we do not do much of) this little tripod with its bendable legs can contort and essentially “mount” almost anywhere. I have now used it a few times to put a Canon EOS R into a tight nook / bookshelf for an angle I wouldn’t have been able to get without clamps and mounts. Another neat feature that my daughter enjoys using is that the 1/4 20 mount plate flips up and becomes a strong cell phone cradle when shooting things for her YouTube channel. Nicely done GVM!

[Aluminum] There's lots of ways to adjust this mini tripod to suit my needs. Cell phone, standard threading on top and side. Flexible, rubberized legs are a nice feature. Tripod is bigger than I expected for being in the mini class. However, I don't have any reason to take any stars away for that. Note that the rubberized legs and feet are 1 unit. no way to replace the feet if the bottom happens to wear out.
