Review on πŸ“· Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera Tripod - Compact & Sturdy Design, Black, One Size by Amy Cook

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Small but a hassle to use

I'd say this thing can hold a fairly large camera, allowing you to do long exposures with little to no extra stuff in your bag. So if you're looking for the absolute most portable tripod, you've probably just found it. But no matter your camera is big or small, you will feel uncomfortable using this thing. It's basically a single adjustment screw for tilt and pan control. There's a reason virtually any regular tripod doesn't work like this. Usually, when framing your shot from a tripod, you want to set up one of these things at once. And its small size makes it even more difficult to use in terms of composition. Deciding it didn't look like a photo tripod, I also tried my small Anker portable projector, which requires a tripod screw. Again, yes you can make it work and it can even handle that nearly 500g projector, but how difficult it is to level and center it at the same time. In this application, you can at least customize it and leave it in place, but even for that it's far from ideal. I'm not going to throw this thing away, it works. It's just the compromises of making it so small that it's hard to use. I'll be looking for something bigger and more reliable, even if that means I need a little more weight.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
