Pros: - Sturdy legs with square tube design - More stable than similar-sized tripods - No problem holding a DSLR - Minimal wobble without using head extension - Weight hook enhances stability - Connecting leg bars improve firmness - Thumb screws easy to tighten - Plastic phone clip feels good quality - No-frills carrying bag is acceptable - Does not feel cheap - Good overall build for the price - Light-weight
Cons: - Mostly plastic body, only legs and extension are metal - Quick release plate cannot be locked in release position - 47鈥 maximum height is limiting for some shots - No crank-up mechanism for vertical adjustment (but a good trade-off) - No locking screw on the leg bars
The NEEWER TP53 tripod has decent quality. It is a metal and plastic travel stand for cell phones and cameras, designed for filming and video recording. A plastic phone clip makes it compatible with most cell phones. There is no cold shoe mount though.
It feels sturdier than other tripods of this size. When tested, the tripod showed very little wobble without using the head extension. The square-shaped metal legs and extension contribute to its stability. Connecting bars between the legs also help keep the structure firm during use. It also features a hook on the bottom of the main shaft for you to hang a weight or your camera bag, further increasing its stability.
There is no traditional crank-up mechanism, which reduces head movement. Thumb screws are easy to operate and hold securely. The quick-release plate mechanism includes a spring-loaded lever but cannot be locked open.
Its 47-inch height allows for general shooting and full-length portraits. The included plastic phone clip works well and adds to the versatility. The carrying bag is minimal but gets the job done.
Overall, this is the most stable lightweight tripod I have tested in this price range. I am happy with the order.
