Lammcou Phone Tripod Flexible, Octopus Camera Gorrila Pod Bendy Legs Grip, With Vertical & Portrait Mobile Holder & Go Pro Mount, Handheld Portable Flexi Tripods Stand for Phones, Webcam, Camcorder

This is a really well built and robust tripod. The legs bend like an Octopus mount - which means it can be attached to trees and fences - but also stood on the ground. An excellent product and well worth the price.

The tripod came in very nice packaging very sturdy and secure, which is a good job as the package arrived pretty badly crushed; there appeared to be no damage to the contents. The tripod is a good size with legs long enough to wrap around most things, they are very flexible but seem to keep their shape once manipulated. I love the phone screw clamp attachment that comes with this tripod, it's a little slower to use than a spring type clamp but it feels really safe and secure once clamped tight plus you always knock the buttons when using spring clamps, the screw clamp opened up large enough for my Samsung Note 9. One of the reasons I purchased this tripod was for the METAL ball joint, The last tripod I used had a plastic part which broke at this point when trying to adjust the tilt. The tripod and all the attachments are solid and give no vibration with the exception of the portrait phone adaptor which does give a little wobble if windy or on an unstable attachment point. Using the phone clamp without that extension piece is extremely solid though. I tested mine in a skatepark attaching the tripod to vertical steel columns, wooden handrails, stood upright on ramps and handheld (follow me) uses. Each time the tripod worked perfectly, I didn't even get any wobble when prodding the phone to start or stop recording. I couldn't try out the gopro attachment as I don't have one but it appears to be fine. the tripod should be fine for heavier dslr's providing you ensure the tripod is well attached to your anchor point. It's a shame about the portrait phone swivel part and the addition of magnetic feet would have made this unbeatable but I would still definitely recommend this tripod to anyone, It's well worth the asking price and you get everything you should need in the box.

This is a generally good item. With the following comments The three legs are a good design and do their job. The camera mount, it cannot be adjusted to have the camera closer to the pivot point or centre of gravity. A slotted hole in the camera mount would enable this.The main central pivot head must be tightened to one rotational position, would like if it were lockable in anywhere on the circumference. There is an additional small part with a screw and nut that I cannot find a use for. There are no instructions included. Otherwise this product is quite usable and appears to be well made.

I film a lot of top-down tutorial videos and have recently stepped into live presenter-style videos. I have to film in a range of locations often at short notice and can't have a permanent setup, so I have been using a mash of clip-on arm mount attached to a traditional tripod. It has been messy, annoying and unstable at best. Not to mention bulky! This travel tripod seemed to offer a solution at a great price. To start, the presentation box was beautiful - it would definitely make a great gift for someone, and looks far more expensive than it is. I rarely film or photograph with my DSLR these days, however the adapter on the tripod would allow me to do so. My main need was for a secure, flexible tripod to hold my iPhone - and this does that very well. The connection is very simple and easy to assemble. The main feature here is the flexibility to rotate the camera to whatever angle you want, but whilst having a really strong and robust bracket to keep it sturdy. All the connections here are easily adjustable but very secure. The tripod legs are a work of genius - quite thick, able to bend pretty much any way you need them to and very steady. They also have a slightly pliable foam-like feel to them, which makes them more grippy on more slippery surfaces you may want to attach it to. I can use this as a table top option or attach to anything, pretty much - which is brilliant when I'm on the move and having to pop up a recording space on the go. So door handles, lamps, radiators, table edges and legs - I can literally attach it to anything available. Great little tripod, and super impressed with the stability of it - so small I can carry it around in my regular bag, and lightweight too. Can't go wrong with this beauty :)

Excellent camera grip, very flexible and able to attach to a lot of places. Well designed and blends in when filming love productions. Great value and easy to set up.

The parcel was just dumped at my door, no ringing the door bell or knocking to let me know, not even a text or an email. It was a neighbour who knocked to let me know. I'm luck it wasn't stolen. Disgusting delivery service. The Lammcou Octobus flexible tripod is sturdy and seems to be of good build quality. Unlike other similar products, the ball head is changeable which is a plus. The rubber covering on the flexible legs do grip around the small branch of a tree and remains steady. Good value for money, will have to wait and see how it performs on other platforms in the field.

This tripod just arrived with me today, so I can't vouch for how durable it is. However, I have to say that it is an impressive piece of kit! Everything, it seems, is just right. Lightweight but feels very sturdy. The bracket which holds a phone is not spring loaded but, rather there is an easy to operate screw adjustment which gently but firmly holds the phone in place. The legs bend nicely, but are firm enough to stay in whatever position they are put. Everything that is adjustable - for example, swivelling the camera to change the orientation - is intuitive, and quick and easy to operate. The bracket which holds a phone can also be attached to any standard tripod. So far, I can't find anything to fault this thing!

I was unsure whether to buy this given the price as I thought it would be cheap and not very sturdy, however I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It easily holds the weight of my Nikon D5300 with a lens on and is very durable. The flexible legs are great for getting the perfect angle, however because they are flexible the whole lot shakes for a second or two when pressing the shutter down. This can be resolved easily with a remote shutter if you have one... if not you’ll need to invest in one if you want this tripod. It’s still a good buy for the price and so much more convenient than lugging a larger tripod around.
