I purchased because I needed a tripod for my phone , at a low cost. For the price the build quality is good. Comes with two small rechargeable lights that mount above and below phone when using in horizontal position. This lighting actually enhanced the video quality up to about 8 foot. Works good as a selfie stick also. Fully extended its about five foot tall. At full height it begins to be top heavy, unless you have a super lite phone. When using outside, place on level ground. Use it as a selfie stick on very windy days. Bottom line is, I would purchase again and likely will. I can be rough on equipment sometimes. For a basic phone tripod or selfie stick it worth the money.
