FLARX Fix Price Mini Desk Stand
Total Waste of Money - A Flimsy Tripod That Fell Apart During Use
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently bought a phone tripod from Fix Price's Flarx brand, hoping it'd make my life easier when taking photos for reviews. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a total waste of money. The build quality is subpar, and it fell apart during use. I was expecting a basic, sturdy tripod for around 149-160 rubles, but what I got was a flimsy piece of plastic that couldn't even hold my phone. The packaging was also a letdown, as it was just a standard blister pack. I'm extremely disappointed with this purchase and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Honestly, I'd say it's not even worth the cheap price point. It's a shame, too, because I think a well-made tripod could be super useful for content creators like me. But this one's just not it. The adjustable legs are a nice feature, I'll give it that, but they're not enough to save this flimsy tripod from being a total disappointment.
