65" Camera Tripod,Q310 Lightweight Travel Portable Cell Phone Tripod Stand Monopod with Universal Phone Holder and Carry Bag for Canon, DSRL, SRL,Cell Phones, Projector, Webcam

Received the F647 in perfect condition (it was securely packaged). First impression is that the tripod is sufficiently built but have yet to test it out in the field. It holds my Canon camera with battery back and 24-105L lens really well (no tilt or movement at all). The tripod is light especially with the ball head removed. The only aspect that might be of concern are the plastic clips that lock the legs. Over time these might degrade. Like others have mentioned, the bubble level is not visible when a camera is on the ball head. It would have been better if it was placed on the base near the tripod legs. As of now, I am happy with the purchase after having researched numerous travel tripods. From what I can tell, this tripod is similar to the Q555. The F647 might just be an older model. I have to commend the seller BONFOTO as they have sent follow up emails regarding the purchase. So far they have been great. Hopefully this will continue especially if any problem arises with the tripod.Update 3/27/19: Looks like what is being sold as the F647 has changed. It is now completely different from what I received. The tripod I received is almost identical to the Q555.Update 4/30/19: Took this tripod on a trip to Maui. Setup was fast and easy. I was particularly impressed on how stable it was on uneven rocks even with the camera positioned at an awkward angle. There was no movement at all. Only negative was that the zipper latch broke off. Contacted Bonfoto about it and I am waiting to hear back.Update 5/2/19: Downgrading rating to 2 stars due to non-existent customer support. I did not hear back from Bonfoto after following Amazon link to contact them. I had to initiate support via Amazon chat in which the Amazon personnel tried calling Bonfoto directly. The phone number was invalid. So now it seems like any future issues with the tripod will not get resolved. Be wary as the warranty and customer support appears to be non-existent.Update 5/29/19: Moving rating back to 4 stars for customer service. I was able to contact the manufacturer Zomei and they immediately reached out. An attempt was made to send a refurbished tripod for the bag as replacement. Unfortunately it was stolen at the carrier. A 2nd replacement was sent and this time it was a completely new tripod. The customer representative was very responsive and sincerely wanted to rectify every obstacle.

Not impress with this tripod. It has easy-to-adjust legs and a handful of bubble level indicators to ensure that it is level. However, it is not the most durable tripod I own. The middle post can be readily removed and adjusted in height for use as a monopod. This one has an advantage over the others because it has that feature. Regrettably, the twisting friction lock is a little flimsy. Its a lot heavier than I expected its say 2.9 lbs but its feel a lot heavier than that. I would recommend this for anyone who travel or use it on a daily basis.

I love the sturdiness of the tripod. Definitely it is professional tripod with light weight. Very good versatility.

Look it good,I think for my camera is perfect. You can use it take photo by yourself, vedio, anything about action. Products also best I think . You should have it.

tried others in this price range and this is one heavy-duty, holds my sony bridge camera with its long lens, with little effort

Great, solid, and very light

Tripods are one of those things where you don't feel the need to spend the extra money on a great one, until all of a sudden you do. You just have to hope that you don't realize this in the middle of a critical moment. Choosing the right tripod is a balancing act between price, performance, and convenience. At the end of the day, improving one of those three aspects requires adjusting one or both of the others despite all the marketing-speak, the numbers thrown around, and the fancy-sounding features and materials.So here's my take on this tripod, where it stands in price, performance, and convenience, and who should (or should not) consider this as a serious purchase for critical shooting applications.-- Weight. I just want to get this one thing out of the way real quick, it's not a huge deal, but the manufacturer states that the tripod weighs 2.9 lbs. It doesn't. The full tripod (without the phone attachment and without the case) weighs 3.5 lbs. But even at 3.5 lbs, it's light enough to be an attractive option. I have a tripod that weighs in at close to double that, and you definitely feel every pound after a while.-- Center column monopod feature. In theory, I really like this idea. You can pull the center column (with head attached) out from the legs completely and it has its own telescoping leg to use as a monopod. It's a simple maneuver, and the column/monopod has its own rubber foot. Unfortunately, since it had to fit inside of the frame, there's no room for the usual buckles to lock the telescoping portions in place. Instead they use a friction lock that you engage by twisting the segment clockwise after extending it. This lock is not strong at all, and with very little effort you can collapse the "locked" monopod while trying to use it. The design also doesn't strike me as particularly robust; I'd be worried that after locking and unlocking the sections a number of times, the metal may warp or wear, and it may get harder and harder to lock. Bottom line, If a monopod feature is important to you, try looking for a different design. For example, one of my other tripods (made by Dolica) allows you to unscrew one of the tripod legs and put the head directly on it, making a monopod with rock-solid extensions.-- Foam components. The legs each have a section of foam at the top, and the tripod head handle has the same foam on it. I don't care for it, it feels cheap and unnecessary. The aforementioned Dolica has the same foam material on the legs, and maybe it's telling that the two most expensive and highest performing tripods I own have no foam whatsoever on them.-- Tripod head and release plate. Probably for the purposes of cost and weight savings, the release plate and most of the tripod head is made of plastic. Head movements are not particularly fluid, which is expected considering the cheap feel of the construction. Owners of heavier cameras should be worried about a plastic quick release plate attached to a plastic head with a plastic locking lever, there's way too much potential for flex and breakage. There are three plastic knobs for adjusting tension. One allows tilting the top of the head horizontally up to 90 degrees to put the camera into a portrait orientation. This seems to work fine. The second allows vertical tilt (pointing the camera toward the sky or ground), but no reasonable amount of pressure on the knob truly locks the head in place. Even a heavy tightening of the knob allows the user to tilt with only a small amount of effort. The third knob locks the swivel. Technically this knob works well, but the tripod's design fails here anyway because while the swivel may be locked, rotating the tripod head just makes it start unscrewing from the center column. So it's spinning freely anyway, just at the center column screw rather than at the swivel point. I think it's also important to note here that while the product description states that it can "withstand" a 13 pound load, this is probably only true of a stable, balanced, perfectly level load. If you have a heavy lens that pushes the center of gravity toward the front, I would not trust this tripod to a) remain stable, and b) not eventually incur damage to the release plate and/or socket.-- Leveling. The tripod contains two bubble levels. One is on the legs and shows when the center is level, and one is on the head and shows the position of the vertical tilt. Ideally there would be one more on the head to cover the horizontal, but in this price range, the omission is excusable. The legs are linked to the center column, forcing them to always be the same distance apart and severely limiting their angle of extension. On flat ground, this has the benefit of ensuring that the legs all extend at the same angle with no extra effort - if you pull one out from its folded position, the other two go with it. On uneven ground this will make it more difficult to provide a level and stable surface for the camera. To an extent you can mitigate this by extending the legs to different lengths to account for uneven terrain, but it will never be as good as having each leg capable of locking at different angles as well.-- The legs. Aside from the foam and center column connection mentioned earlier, the legs themselves are made of a nice, sturdy aluminum. They telescope smoothly and easily. The swivel joints connecting them at the top of the tripod are plastic-on-plastic, although with the extension angle already being limited by the center column collar at the bottom, I don't know that there's a problem with that. The buckle locks that lock the telescoping segments are also plastic, and pretty thin plastic at that. The buckle itself, and its locking method, are not particularly robust and while the lock does hold quite well, I'm not convinced that they're going to put up with a lot of abuse.So now that I've bored you to tears, let's get to the good stuff. Would I recommend it? And who would I recommend it for?If any of the following apply to you, then you do NOT want this tripod:-- You are looking for something that will last a lifetime.-- You plan to use it with equipment that weighs more than 3-4 pounds, especially if the center of gravity doesn't rest directly over the release plate. (Note: to be thorough, I put my Mamiya RZ67 on the tripod, which weighs about 6 pounds, and it did not inspire confidence. I didn't even bother with the 12 lb. large format camera, there's just no way)-- You routinely shoot in difficult, uneven terrain.-- You are looking for something with an effective monopod conversion.If none of the above apply to you, then this tripod might be a good purchase for you, especially if at least one of the following applies:-- You only plan to use the tripod for smaller cameras with reasonably compact lenses.-- You will be shooting on terrain that is either flat or gently sloped.-- You have a hard budget of around $50 to spend on a tripod.-- You plan to be carrying this tripod over long distances and need the lighter weight.-- You plan to only use the tripod on rare occasions and can't justify spending more for how little you will use it.
