A camera tripod has been on my Amazon wish list basically ever since I bought my fancy camera back in December of 2014. I’ve been worried about getting a cheap one and it tipping and breaking my camera.
I finally orderd one and was so happy when the UPS man delivered it!
Yay for making decisions! Yay for packages delivered on time!
Yay for new gadgets!
I went with an inexpensive Amazon Basics tripod and also ordered a cell phone adapter, so I could use my phone on the tripod as well (for YouTube videos).
After I got the cell phone adapter I quickly realized it’s the same as the top of a selfie stick, which I have a couple of, so I really didn’t need to purchase another one. oops!
So if you already have a selfie stick, just twist the top portion off (the part that holds the cell phone) and twist it onto the tripod’s removable base part (or whatever that piece called).
What I love about this tripod:
· It is super lightweight, 3lbs.
· Its height is adjustable from 20 inches all the way to 60 inches, which is just perfect for what I need it for.
·
It has two built-in levels in different positions, so you can get a nice straight shot.

Once you have the little mounting plate screwed into the bottom of your camera (or selfie adapter) you can take the camera off quickly, snap a few shots, and snap it right back into the tripod.
· It comes with a quality carrying case. Oh & it also has a nice handle on the tripod!
