OptixMania - Maniac Flexible Tripod for Mobile Phones, Compact Cameras, Action Cameras and DLSR Vlogging Tripod

For the price this is excellent. I wanted something light and portable for my Sony RX10M4 bridge camera. This tripod is very compact and light (I weighed it at 300g). The camera weighs 1.1kg and is quite long with the 600mm telephoto extended (see photo). The camera seems pretty stable and the tripod doesn't sag, however I would think this might not be the case for a significantly heavier camera. The product description says it is OK up to 3kg whereas the seller in the answered questions states 1.2kg and I suspect the latter is probably more accurate. I cannot comment on durability as I've not used it for any length of time but it seems quite well made. It is easy to adjust the camera to any position with the lockable ball joint. It also has adapters for phones and action cameras although if you are only wanting something for these devices you could get something smaller. It's a fraction of the cost of the Joby SLR equivalent and more compact, although unlike the Joby it doesn't have a quick release adaptor that stays on the camera, however for occasional use I don't think you can go wrong.

Having used tripods more many years, I wanted one that was mobile and sturdy yet easily manipulated to whatever situation I am in - this is the one! I have my own youtube channel and this tripod has really helped me make better videos whilst staying as light and mobile as possible. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for flexibility of angles and portability!

The item came within a couple of days and was well packaged. First impressions were good, solid and sturdy and well made.As a keen walker I don’t want to traipse about with a large tripod, this is ideal takes up little space in your backpack. When it came to use I was really impressed of how adaptable it was, whether fixing it pretty much anything or simply using it as a tripod, say no more camera shake!

Great tripod and well worth the price!!Took this on holiday to Mexico recently and used it every day with my large DSL camera and my go pro.When ordering I was initially worried if it could take the weight of a larger camera but it worked brilliantly. It also gripped to handrails and was easy to adapt on uneven surfaces when the balance on rocks ect.When using with the go-pro it was great for using on the pool and sea and got some great videos when wrapped around the handlebars of a jet ski.

Arrived on time well packed great service great product. Handy to carry with your kit. Has many positions to help with your camera to hold steady for a good picture. A great buy well worth the money thank you.

Great tripod, lots of options for holding multiple devices, strugged a bit with a long heavy lens but getting used to it. Light and can be used for all kinds of different situations that a traditional tripod would struggle with.

Great product for the price. Used with 5d mark ii and a L lens. Held the camera safe without any issues.

Well good, wouldnt recommend for a heavyish DSLR, but perfect for a phone or gopro
