It's a great little tripod for keeping your mobile device steady. You will need a phone holder but those can also be purchased pretty cheap. I personally use the
Cell Phone Tripod Adapter - Bluetooth Remote Control - Travel Bag - iPhone Tripod Mount SE 7 6S 6 Plus 5S 5C 5 4s 4, Galaxy S7 S6 S5 S4 S3 more Cell Phone Tripod Mount Clip Holder - DaVoice (Black)
and it fits very well with the tripod.
That being said I do NOT recommend attaching a DSLR to the tripod, it's too small and it will tip over very easily. It is possible but very dicey and will very likely result in the camera tipping over, especially if you use anything but a very small lense. It's just too small for a DSLR.
I haven't tried it with something like an iPad but I suspect it wouldn't be very well suited for that for the same reasons a DSLR doesn't really work, it's just too small to be able to balance well. It's really made more for small mobile devices such as an iPhone, etc.

Worst mini tripod I used
So i just wanted a mini tripod for camera that i use as a web cam and this dosent work well. As said by someone else here: the little screw thingy to hold the ball head in position is completely inadequate.I've been a photographer/videographer for 20 years and used a lot of tripod during that time, even other mini tripod that were sadly lost. Everything here works perfectly except the screw thingy that cant hold enought force on the ball head. So anytime I slightly touch the tripod, the camera falls down. I've tried everything to tighten it more adequatly and so far nothing as worked. I will have to buy something else. Only buy if you intend to use it on something that is as light as a feather.
Thank you for your feedback

The unit itself is solidly constructed with metal/rubber/plastic components that work great with my webcam.
Adjustability is great allowing for a tightening and loosening thumb screw that tilts up and down and the little tripod legs simply fold up for easy portability although it's not too large either way.
My only gripe is the thumb screw for the up and down tilt seems to come loose quite easily and you need to be cautious to tighten it as firmly as you can and it may still loosen with slight movement or changes in placement.
No question that for the money, this is very difficult to beat, especially with the compatibility with very budget friendly cameras and up as well.

Great little tripod, exactly what I wanted. Legs extended measure @ 7 inches to the mounting pad. Legs retracted measure 4.375 inches.
Given that it has lots of height variables, depending on what camera I mount on it. A Sony A5000 with short lens will generally be fitted on this mini tripod. The knurled lock ring mounting base tightens securely and easily. The side mounted lock key grips well and prevents my camera from drooping on its own when the camera is mounted up or down lens angle. Generally good quality construction, no sharp edges and no plastic. Best to use a remote shutter release. The tripod could be easily fit in my vest pocket. Highly recommended, very pleased. Great price too.

I had great hopes for this tripod. Overall, the quality is really good, and the price is reasonable. The legs are solid, and the telescoping works really well.
BUT, the little screw thingy to hold the ball head in position is completely inadequate. It barely turns a quarter turn, and does not hold the ball head in position. Perhaps if you were just holding a very light webcam, this would be fine, but for a phone or anything that weighs more than an ounce or two, it flops over, and then completely tips over.

$8 piece does the job.
But it is not for cell phone, it is not for SLR and alike.
It is fine for a compact camera only.

The weight of a phone will tip it over, unless you extend one leg further than the other 2 to take more of the weight.
The ball-and-slot joint, which is just under the top screw, cannot be held still by the perpendicular screw (with the semicircular handle) so cannot stop the phone from going out of position - any slight bump will make it move, if not fall over. Inexpensive so I thought I'd try it, but I have to get another tripod anyway as I need one that actually works!

Lo compramos para un viaje en pareja y nos funcionó perfecto para esos lugares donde no encuentras quien te pueda tomar una foto, es pequeño por lo que cabe muy bien en la mochila o la bolsa de mano.
La construcción se siente sólida al ser de metal.
El único inconveniente que le encuentro es que no trae el accesorio para sujetar el celular.
Atención, por ser pequeño es mas bien para ponerlo sobre una silla, mesa, o superficie alta.

I use this to record my YouTube videos and shorts. Very compact, very light and easy to carry anywhere. I fix my mobile phone and Video Conference Lamp simultaneously while recording my videos it supports both without falling. Very convenient for Video Calling as well. Can hold the tripod (after folding the legs) for action photography with my Samsung S23 Ultra mobile.
Since I have recently purchased it, it will be too early for me to comment on its quality however, it looks good.
