Victiv Camera Tripod
Score: 75/100
Neewer Upgraded 80.7-inch Tripod
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Neewer N55CR carbon-fiber tripod offers a tall 205 cm reach, high 12 kg load capacity, and a versatile 2-section reversible center column, all in a lightweight 2 kg package. Its higher minimum height and lack of a smartphone mount may limit certain low-angle or mobile shooting scenarios. Ideal for travel photographers and videographers who need a sturdy yet portable rig.
The VICTIV 74" tripod offers a tall 188 cm reach, a detachable 3-way pan head and a dedicated phone holder while staying under 1.4 kg, targeting vloggers and mobile creators. Its thin legs and plastic head parts can introduce wobble at full extension, limiting stability for heavier gear. Best for beginners to intermediate creators who need height and phone mounting without a premium budget.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the VICTIV 74" for its impressive 74-inch height, quick flip-lock leg system, and versatile detachable 3-way pan head that offers 360° pan and up to 180° tilt. They value the included phone mount and solid quick-release plate, noting good overall value for mobile creators. Minor criticisms focus on some jiggle at full extension, thinner top legs, and the presence of plastic in the head, which may affect perceived durability.
Everyday users love the tripod's tall reach, fast setup, and the included adjustable phone holder, calling it well-made and ideal for beginners and vloggers. Common complaints revolve around occasional wobbliness when fully extended, stiffness in the pan head on new units, and a desire for a sturdier, all-metal construction for heavier gear.
Professional reviewers at B&H commend the N55CR for its innovative two-section removable center column, robust 28 mm carbon-fiber construction, and a well-equipped 360° ball head with bubble levels, emphasizing its suitability for travel and video work while noting its solid load capacity and portable weight.
Everyday users have not left reviews on major retail sites, resulting in a lack of direct consumer feedback; the product is presented primarily through manufacturer specifications and retailer listings.
