So far i used the tripod with my Samsung Galaxy S4 and with a standard compact camera; I havent had any problems to fix these 2 devices which is amazing for my S4 because it is a fairly large laptop. The feet are flexible, so you can tie it all for a perfect angle, which would not be possible with just a camera that he would try to attach it to a safe place.
This is also a lightweight tripod, compact and cheap when you see everything you can do; this summer it will be convenient if you travel or just enjoy a good time.
