Product Information
Full details
This Elitehood tripod is for mobile photographers and videographers seeking a versatile and stable support for their iPhones and Android phones. Its key benefit is the extreme height adjustment (up to 81 inches) combined with a flexible gooseneck for unique shooting angles. A potential caveat is the heavy-duty aluminum base, which, while stable, adds to the overall weight for transport.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of this tripod?
The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. It is designed primarily for smartphones and lighter devices like webcams. For heavier professional cameras, stability may be reduced.
Can I use this tripod for an iPad?
This tripod's phone holder is designed for widths between 2.2 to 4.1 inches, which typically fits most smartphones. Larger tablets like iPads may not fit securely in the included phone holder. You would need an alternative mount compatible with the 1/4" interface.
How portable is the tripod when folded?
The tripod folds down to a compact 16 inches, making it convenient to carry in a backpack or travel bag.
What is the warranty period?
Elitehood offers an 18-month warranty for this product.
Can the phone holder be removed?
Yes, the phone holder typically screws onto a standard 1/4" mount. You can remove the phone holder to attach a camera, webcam, or projector using the same 1/4" interface.
Is the gooseneck strong enough to hold a phone steady?
The 17-inch adjustable gooseneck is designed to hold smartphones securely. For optimal stability, ensure the gooseneck is not overly extended or bent at extreme angles with heavier phones.
Troubleshooting
Tripod is wobbly at maximum height.
Ensure all leg flip-locks are securely fastened. For maximum stability, avoid extending legs fully if not necessary and ensure the base is on a level surface. Consider using a counterweight if using in windy conditions.
Phone holder won't grip the device.
Adjust the tension screw on the phone holder to create a tighter grip. Ensure the phone's width falls within the 2.2 to 4.1-inch range specified.
Flip-locks are difficult to open or close.
Check for any debris obstructing the locks. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant might help, but use sparingly to avoid making them too loose.
1/4" screw mount feels loose.
Ensure the accessory (camera, webcam) is properly threaded onto the mount. If the mount itself is loose, check if it can be tightened on the main tripod head.
