Professional reviewers on YouTube commend the tripod's excellent value for beginners, citing its smooth pan/tilt controls, accurate 50-inch height, and lightweight aluminum construction as standout features for the price. However, they point out the wobbly central rod, the smaller head plate, and the lack of a base weight hook as significant drawbacks, especially when compared to the 60-inch Amazon Basics model, and advise limiting use to light-duty scenarios under the 4.4 lb load limit.
Everyday users consistently praise the tripod's ultra-light weight, easy setup, included carry bag, and the built-in bubble level, noting it works well for smartphone vlogging and basic DSLR shots. Recurring complaints focus on instability at full extension, the low 4.4 lb load capacity, and a generally flimsier feel compared to previous versions.
Professional reviewers commend the Endurax for its feather-light construction, rapid 60-inch extension, and solid aluminum legs that hold up well in wind. They also appreciate the built-in bubble level, 3-way pan head, and the 33-foot Bluetooth remote, describing it as a sturdy, travel-ready option for beginners and vloggers. However, they flag occasional leg slippage on smooth surfaces, conflicting weight claims, and the lack of a reversible column as drawbacks for more demanding shooting scenarios.
Everyday users echo the professional praise, highlighting the tripod's portability, quick setup, and versatility with phones, tablets, and entry-level DSLRs. Common praise centers on the lightweight feel, included carry bag, and remote functionality.
