Signed up to AliExpress a few months back.

Some things are actually more expensive than eBay, some are much cheaper.

Looked around and ordered a lightweight tripod.
Got the 'deluxe' package with a Bluetooth camera remote, carrying bag and various extra heads, including a mobile phone holder.
I think it said max height is 40 inches.
Which seems about right.

It's even got a built in spirit level.

The whole lot cost me £10 including the postage.
Think it took 2-3 weeks to come.
Weighs 12.5 ounces :-)

The seam on the really cheap bag was coming undone, so I've glue locked that.

Other than that really impressed. It's essentially a smaller, lighter version of my big cobra tripod.
More importantly, it will fit into my Finnish slinging bag :-)

Roped in a live model for the photos just for size comparison :whistle:

If you're looking for an easily portable decent featured tripod with a Bluetooth camera button.
Definitely recommend one if these.

It goes from about 2/3rds of a sitting dream to about 2 1/2 sitting dreams in height.

So useful for both table mounted close up video and free standing distance video.

So next up I've got an interesting kitchen knife on the way, think that was about £4.

I'm not expecting much for the steel, but it's an interesting shape.
So we'll see :-)

Picture is a screen grab from the AliExpress app. For some unknown reason if I acces it through a browser, I always get the Dutch language website.
I've cleared caches, tried different browsers, you name it.
Can not get it to display in English. So have to use the app.
But the model number is there.
It's worth the extra few quid for the different mounts, bag and remote.
