The tripod specifications are already written, so what this comment will capture is a review of the product...
The frame is solid... this is not your typical aluminum frame that will bend after constant use.
The frame is supported within the center and of such supports evenly distributed weight of the device...
The legs can extend up to a modest size of 19" as mentioned and of such, the support is their for the electronic
device which can be placed on it.
The packaging is great... I like protection from dusty areas... the legs have individual plastics... they are thin but it was thought through for initial scratch purposes...
It comes in a very sturdy bag cut to the size of the tripod... maybe a little larger... and it has a carry bag which allows for easy transportation and all contained in a box.
I have made sure to do dilligent research on this product... My methodology focuses areound expenditure... and the fact that with this one time purchase in mind...it is to ensure that this investment will last forever...🙄 aka I don't have money to waste so this is the only time I'm spending money to buy a tripod.
Buy This Product... it will stand.

(PICTRON Metal Phone Tripod Mount 3 Cold Shoes & Arca Port, 360° Smartphone Tripod Adapter)
and I am all set.
Why the 4 stars? I've now tried this unit with a Bushnell Elite 15x45 spotting scope, Pentax 8x42 binocular, Bushnell Excursion 10x42 binocular and I'm coming up with the same problem. The angle of the screw in "arm" meant to be used for panning and tilting the top assembly is nearly flat. Because of this any of the optics I've listed above can't be used as is - the arm must be removed or it jabs the user in the chin (or throat) because it sticks nearly straight at you. If I could take that top assembly (you'll see what I mean if you had the tripod in front of you) and turn it 90 degrees left or right to the viewer then I could get around the issue. Unfortunately, the quick release style top mount only flips 180 degrees...directly at you with the arm in the way or directly away from you so you have to reach around the tripod to use the arm (really not acceptable).
I liked the tripod so much however that I'm choosing to just remove the arm and continue using it as is. It's really a very well built unit and I particularly love the smooth crank for the vertical extension.
Anyway, just bear in mind the issue with the arm (which RetiCAM really should have addressed before this came to market...it's that obvious of a PIA) and you've got a terrific product for relatively short money.

For wider use by amateur/semi pro be aware the QR system is integral and if like me you also use the Manfrotto style plate you are stymied as there is no interchangeability. I have also not found a source of additional camera plates handy if you have other cameras.
Because the QR plate position is fixed you can also end up with with the release on the wrong side away from you.
