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. Recurring complaints involve occasional slipping on slick floors, confusion over the exact weight, and the limited maximum height for taller users.
