The lens is a good metal affair and features both a magnification ring and a focus ring, both of which move smoothly and fluidly and coupled with the high quality optics ensure a good picture, now being metal and as it's quite a long lens in order to obtain such high zoom magnification levels you will need to support with your hand, the clip works well to keep in place the camera lens end but then you balance at the end for a nice stable shot.
The tripod is plastic and designed specifically for use in balancing the lens around its central point and does the job well, we had some great pictures on my partners Samsung utilising this and found it very easy to use and adjust to get the best out of the lens.
