Solid build, quality tripod, great deal for the price!

I was really impressed with the tripod from ESSDI. The build is solid and the tripod is well-made with lots of great features and details. Legs open easily and tripod feels stable, even extended to full height (I measured 63-3/4"). When folded, the tripod measures a little under 18-1/2", so great for travel. It comes with a black zippered bag, a screw and wrench to convert the tripod to a monopod if needed, and what I think is a phone holder. The center column can also be inverted for a low-angle mount. Other nice touches include the bubble level, and some stylish red shiny aluminum details (similar to Manfrotto). My only small issue: you have to loosen the head and rotate it a bit in order for the legs to fully fold tightly against the head, since in the locked head position, the position of the knobs slightly prevents the legs folding all the way against the head. Not a big deal, but a little extra time needed every time you open or close the tripod. Also (and again very minor) the phone holder would be super tight (or not work) if you have a larger cell phone. It is an extra anyway, and so also not a big deal. All in all, a great tripod for a great price from ESDDI.

Ain't no Manfrotto, but very good value for the money

I wanted to get a second tripod to complement my Manfrotto Compact Action aluminium tripod with a hybrid head. The ball head on the ESDDI tripod is way smoother and better than on my entry-level Manfrotto. It's smooth as butter and perfect for video, albeit it's missing a handle, which would have been convenient. If you're planning on mounting a smartphone on it, I recommend getting a higher quality mount adapter, because the supplied plastic one is kind of flimsy. Overall, this tripod does NOT feel cheap. I'd say the overall construction is sturdy. Not quite Manfrotto-level quality, but very good for the money that you're paying. I think this is going to be my go-to tripod and my Manfrotto Compact Action tripod will be relegated to secondary use. For what I need this tripod for, which is mainly YouTube videos, this tripod is ideal.

professional

This tripod deserves my photos review! 1, well made,I had a cheaper one which cost me $30,the weight capacity of that one is very low,but this one is strong enough to provide a stable environment for my camera. 2,well designed. One of its legs can be taken off and used as an individual crutch.Besides, I can mount my camera to this leg anytime, it is a nice design, it is very practical for photographers that go hiking a lot. 3,I like the big adjustable angle of its legs, it gives me more possibilities to fit more complicated environments. One tip that I want to share: there is a hook at the bottom of its axis which is shown at the second last attached picture. When you want to set your camera at very low position but you forget to bring a mini tripod, you can do like how I did as shown in the last picture.

Great Build Quality and Inexpensive

If you are like me and wanting to upgrade your game whether that be photography or videography (YouTube) then you need to check this tripod out. Here is my review over the TP-40 65" Tripod. Lets start with the packaging. It reminds me a lot of the Job Gorilla pod with the style of packaging. Packed very well inside the box is the tripod place perfectly inside the travel bag. I have been wanting a tripod that can extend higher that way I would be able to stand and and talk directly to the camera vs. looking down at it. But thats not the only reason for me purchasing this tripod. I also enjoy taking pictures and the fact that I can make each individual leg go to a different level to take even the toughest of shots is a huge benefit. The legs lock 180 degrees when ready to store and fold the other 180 degrees when ready to set up. The legs have 3 locking locations to insure proper stability no matter what uneven surface you put it on. The ball head is a great addition as I personally do not enjoy pan heads. There is a release plate on top of the ball head which is a feature that allows for quick assembly. The Monopod is a great add on feature. It literally took me 45 seconds to convert on my first try. Super easy, but if you cannot figure it out, there is a manual showing you step by step how to convert it. Durability: This particular tripod is made of a thick aluminum, and surprisingly it is very sturdy. I can have all the legs extended and it still feels stable. The legs have rubber feet so it grips to most surfaces. For being a $60 tripod it feels like the $100 Manfroto thats extremely similar in build quality and features. You can see in the pictures the ball head as well as the size wants fully extended. I would recommend buying this one compared to the cheaper ones out there that are much cheaper in quality. take it from me. I have learned the hard way. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and look forward to purchasing more from this seller in the future!

ESDDI TP-40 Camera Tripod - A very well-engineered and inexpensive camera tripod

I received my TP-40 2 days after I ordered it from Amazon Prime. It came nicely and securely boxed (see image). The tripod can easily be folded to a compact length of less than 18 inches. It comes with a very study carrying case which makes it easy to carry (see image) when I am on location. A special pouch is also provided to protect the tripod head and it is small enough to be secured to my camera bag (see image) to complement my compact gear. It is lightweight (weighing less than 3 lbs) and very sturdy, and I feel very comfortable using it with my DSLR cameras (see image). The tripod can be extended to a height of 56 inches (4 feet 8 inches) by extending the 3 foot-tubes each secured with a quick release snap. The center shaft can be further extended to increase the height by an additional 8 inches for a total height of 64 inches (5 feet 4 inches). For added stability, additional weight (e.g. camera bag) can be attached to the hook (retractable) at the base of the center shaft. The center shaft can also be reverse-mounted to allow for very low-level photography. The tripod head includes a ball head that offers a 360-degree smooth movement of the camera at any angle. It has a circular bubble level to assist in perfecting straight shots, and also features a circular disk with angular markings and an independent pan-lock useful for panning photography. The head can be tilted 90-degree for portrait photography as well. It also has with a quick release mounting system allowing me to attach (or detach) my camera effortlessly. A separate bracket is also included to allow me to use the tripod with my smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge – see image) As an added bonus, one of the tripod’s legs can be released and attached to the center shaft to create a monopod which provides both versatility and stability while shooting action photography (see image). This 2-in-1 feature means one-less equipment to carry, and also eliminates additional expenses. Buying a tripod is a necessary investment for both professional and amateur purposes, and the TP-40 camera tripod serves these purposes. Compared to the more expensive professional tripods (e.g. Manfrotto, Benro, Gitzo) which may cost hundreds of dollars, the TP-40 is only a fraction of the cost. More importantly, it features provide most of the functionalities of the professional models. So, if you are looking for a great camera tripod to meet all your photography needs, and if cost is an important consideration, the TP-40 is your answer. The tripod is very well-engineered and constructed. It is lightweight and compact making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is also sturdy enough to maintain a stable mount for my cameras (ranging from smart phones to heavier DSLR models) eliminating the risk of camera shakes especially when shooting with slow shutter speeds. The added bonus of the monopod definitely sweetens the deal. I have used it extensively, and I highly recommend it One other thing I like to add to my review, and that is regarding the quick release camera mounting plate. It may be necessary for a user to have more than one mounting plate - you may need it for a second camera or it is good to have an extra one in case you misplace the one you have. I contacted ESDDI about this, and they replied that they will be happy to provide an extra mounting plate to their customers if they request an additional one. Kudos to ESDDI.

Affordable full featured tripod

The review is for Model TP40. Opened the stylish box to find a compactly folded tripod in storage configuration with a couple of parts: Manual, durable carry bag, allen wrench for adjusting leg swing tension, nut and bolt for assembling Monopod mode and an economical smartphone holder. The legs swing 180 degrees from storage config. and tripod is ready for use, they can lock in at 3 different splay angles. The 4-segment aluminum legs are sturdy and lightweight, and can be slid to whatever height I need. The feet are grippy for uneven surfaces. Vertical post has a retractable metal hook for hanging my bag and providing stabilizing weight. I found adjusting the leg splay angle a little tricky at first. The feaure is based on a ratchet like arrangment and a small spring backed release lever. The lever doesn't release under tension (good) but I was thinking something was 'stuck' . I had to swing the leg slightly inward to release the tension so the lever would easily release and then I could choose a different ratchet point to lock in a different splay. Monopod mode - I found this really interesting. Unscrew the leg that has a grippy wrap and slide out the vertical post, join them with the provided screw (spin the nut to the middle first, it gives support inside the join). I initially unscrewed the post tensioner (part with red ring) all the way and saw that it should be kept with the tripod. See pic of assembled monopod. Don't force things when restoring tripod mode, the post has a slot that must be aligned when sliding back in. The camera mount plate is locked into place with a thumb screw. I found this different than the locking lever on my other tripods, but it does look durable and locks down tight (you might see a gap if you zoom in on the picture, the gap is there only for the picture to show the plate . and bracket). The mounting bracket has a built in bubble level, a nice feature for people liking precision. The 360 degree ball head makes positioning the camera super easy and locks down with a 'larger than thumb' screw. A third thumb screw is used to lockdown a particular pan-angle. Some people might complain there is no rod for panning the head. I don't do a lot of active panning, so that was not a problem for me. The ball is made of a durable looking plastic and should last if kept clean and dry. Stowing the tripod is real easy and fits well in the carry bag. The second to last picture shows one leg folded back 180 degrees getting ready to stow. There is enough space for tucking in some filters, cleaning supplies, or other small accessories.
