Tripod for Phone Under Rupees 400 : Review - Tygot Adjustable Aluminium Alloy Tripod Stand Holder for Mobile Phones & Camera [In depth Review]

3 comments
This post is a review about a tripod stand for phones and cameras. The model I'm reviewing today is the Tygot Adjustable Aluminium Alloy Tripod Stand Holder for Mobile Phones & Camera. It's a low priced (Under Rupees 400) tripod stand for phones (It says for phones as well as cameras on amazon).




Welcome all to another post on The EveryDay Blog. This time it's about a tripod stand for phones that comes at a price lesser than that of a medium sized pizza. So, if you're a beginner and have just entered the world of photography, looking a tripod and really short on cash, then my friend, you should give this post a read. I've covered all the aspects of the tripod in detail so that you can have good idea about it before purchasing it. If a high quality product is what you are looking for then you should look elsewhere. This product is not expensive and it reflects on the quality levels as well. So without wasting much time, let's head to the review!

THE PRICE:

The price of this tripod is ₹369 on Amazon.in
When you visit Amazon.in, you will find many tripods with different names and descriptions but have the same pictures as this one. Each one of them comes at a different price (some as low as ₹260), but I'm not sure how many of those have the same features as this one.

THE PACKAGING : WHAT'S INSIDE?
The quality of the packaging of this product is best decribed as 'average'. The cardboard box in which it comes is not of the best quality. Inside, The tripod is placed in a black pouch. The pouch is really useful as it allows you to carry the tripod around easily. The quality of the pouch is pretty good too.
Along with the tripod stand, Mobile Holder Bracket is also provided, which can be screwed onto the tripod. The Mobile Holder Bracket is one of the most pathetic ones I've ever seen, more on that later.

THE DESIGN, BUILD QUALITY AND OTHER DETAILS :
The design is pretty simple and neat and there are no unnecessary bits. The tripod stand is made of an aluminium alloy. Apart from the legs of the tripod and the mounting screw, rest everything is made of plastic. The plastic parts are black in color and go well with the silver color of the aluminium.






Coming to the quality, you get what you pay for. The quality levels aren't the best, but at  ₹369 you can't really complain much. The plastics feel hard and brittle. The aluminium legs are light and will bend easily if not taken care of. The mounting screw is made of metal, which is a good thing as it won't get worn out easily. A level gauge is also provided. The different knobs for adjusting the tripod are made of plastic, and have metal screws and they can be tightened or loosened easily without much effort. Making adjustments can be a little tricky. The tripod I ordered had some loose joints and hence I couldn't get a precise adjustment of the level gauge. As I said, you get what you pay for and this can be seen in the quality and fit and finish levels in some places. But this is a great tool if you are just a beginner and do not want to spend big money for some decent pictures or videos. The problem of loose joints can be easily fixed with some M Seal (We love jugaads, don't we?).

The centre aluminium rod has rough edges at the end. It does not even come with a plastic covering. This might cause injuries if not taken care of.
It also comes with a Mobile Holder Bracket which is really useless according to me. It just won't hold your phone in a proper way. While adjusting the tripod, your phone can easily slide out of the bracket. If you love your phone (which I'm sure you do) then I suggest buying a better bracket as the one provided with the tripod is just too dangerous.

HOW WELL DOES IT PERFORM IT'S JOB :
You would be surprised by the number of adjustments the tripod provides. It's quite versatile and the length can be adjusted to meet a wide variety of needs.

The legs of the tripod can be extended in 3 stages. All you have to do is open the leg adjustment levers and adjust the length as much as you want.



You can either extend the legs all the way out, or pull them out till you get the desired height and then lock them in place using the levers.

THE LEG ADJUSTMENT LEVERS ARE OF GOOD QUALITY
The other adjustments provided can be seen in the GIF images below

THAT ALLOWS THIS ADJUSTMENT.








It also has a level gauge which is a really great feature.





The phone bracket or a camera can be mounted by screwing it onto the ¼ inch screw. The screw is made of metal and this will make it last longer.

Apart from the legs, there is an additional extension provided to increase the height of the tripod further.


After completely extending all the adjustments for length, the tripod can achieve a maximum height of 1020mm (roughly 1 metre) from the ground.


IMPORTANT TIPS :

  1. Hold the tripod firmly while making any adjustments, else you'll be reminded time and again that this tripod costs lesser than a pizza.
  2. While extending the legs and bringing it back to its original length, be careful to not use much force as the legs could easily bend or the adjustment levers can easily snap.
  3. Check for loose ends and use M seal to lock things in place( easiest method I could think of to reduce the shakiness).
  4. PLEASE BUY A BETTER QUALITY MOBILE HOLDING BRACKET IF YOU LOVE YOUR PHONE
THIS TRIPOD IS BETTER SUITED FOR BEGINNERS. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, LOOK FOR A BETTER OPTION. 
This is not a terrible product, but its got its drawbacks so if you're seriously into photography then you should invest in a better tripod but you can always return a product if you don't like it, so its worth giving it a try. This tripod wouldn't be as durable as the other ones, but with some care it can perform decently enough.
