This is my third such post, though the first one concentrated only on eBay deals, but I have since almost completely switched to AliExpress simply because they have better prices and I prefer the organisation of the website. You can organise the products by number of orders and they have actual reviews of buyers, some also include pictures, so you have a better idea what you're buying. I have to say I haven't had a massive miss yet and I found some great products, in fact I'm loving it more and more. You can find the other two posts here and here. 

Octopus Flexible Tripod for Smartphones and Small Cameras (under 500 g)This is so ridiculously cheap I had a hard time believing it's any good, but most reviews said it's very decent and they were right. I got the version with two attachments, one is a smartphone holder and one a go camera adapter, the latter I don't need, but the smartphone holder works well and holds it in place tight. The original attachment is a simple plastic screw with a base that swivels and you lock it in place with grip, which again can hold tight. The legs are very flexible and have rubberised tips, the flexibility is so great I can wrap it around a window door handle, while the ad pictures showed it being wrapped around branches and poles. Pretty clever if you ask me. It holds the smartphone with no problems and is very stable, but with a heavier camera (mine has 357 g) I need to be more careful how I position the legs, otherwise it can tip over...
