Cheap, but not actually very good
Firstly, this tripod is a lot smaller than I was expecting. The legs are too short to wrap around any mounting point other than very slim tree branches up to an inch or so diameter.It is also very lightweight, which is a bad thing because it’s very top-heavy when your trail camera is attached.The legs are not stiff enough - it’s far too easy to bend them out of your carefully-adjusted shape, like when you’re removing a memory card from the camera for example. It’s almost impossible to do anything to the camera without losing your careful positioning.Finally, there is significant “springiness” in the mounting, so the slightest touch causes the camera to vibrate rapidly.It was cheap at under a tenner. But if you want a good mounting solution for a trail camera, you need to spend more - this is little more than a toy.

Incredibly flimsy and weak
Do not make the mistake of buying this cheap, flimsy thing.I literally just screwed it on and the screw snapped off, without much force at all.The screw is supposed to be the strongest part of the whole thing, as that's where all the pressure is going to go when swivelling and moving the camera head around. (See pictures attached).But the fact that it was made out of some cheap and weak plastic, says a lot about the overall build quality of this thing.Do not waste your money with this.

Great value for money
This is the first GoPro stand I’d ever seen so I’ve nothing to compare against.I’ve now used it a couple times and been very impressed. Not sure how long it will last (hence marked it down a bit on sturdiness). That said, treat it with respect I feel it’ll last until I feel a upgrade/replacement is necessary.

Really positive, BUT the legs fall off.
This is so easy to set up and very stable. BUT, the legs just keep falling off. Inevitably I’ll lose one. I’ve already had a long walk to go pick one up dropped about a hundred yards back. Suggest a dot of strong glue on each one to hold in place.

Came rusted and broken pieces
I literally just open the box and found out it's already chipping/rusting. I had to already replace the connector since it wouldn't grip the camera so if you put it in a horizontal position it would've tilt the camera down since no grip at all, luckily i had one. If it didn't had all of yes value for it's money, but since it has all of that plus it's small, you will probably gonna spend more money to buy a new one and toss this out

Second time purchased
Bought for my skate-boarding, hover-boarding, outdoors loving nephew to use with his new GoPro. He already loves it, particularly the octopus / flexible legs.

Too cheap
The quality is horrible, the foam looks broken and unattached. The legs work fine with sport cameras (they are lighty), but this should have better quality over all

Good price, but not quality
Gosod price, but unfortunely my flexible octopus did not last long, the legs kept coming out as the plastic that holds them cracked. The rubbers on the feet come out easily, the nut if lose falls out (its not fixed or glued), I nearly lost mine. And the main screw broke because its plastic. I admit I used it on my bike to hold my gopro and maybe I was a bit rough with it, but could be better quality too.
