Review on πŸ“· CNC Aluminum Lightweight Mini Tripod for Digital Cameras, Cell Phones, and Webcams – Table Stand with Cold Shoe Mount on Ball Head Side for Microphone or Light Source by Stacey Bradley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful little tripod

This tripod, which fits in your trouser pockets, can be very useful in many situations where a large tripod is not possible. Although it doesn't say it can be used with DSLR cameras and given the size of the tripod, I used it with my Canon 90D and a 24-105mm lens, which is a large and heavy lens, and that Tripod was able to work well with it. One thing to consider, whether it's this setup or a bit heavier, is to remember that lenses can shift the center of gravity away from the camera body. So for the best functionality it's always a good idea to have one of the tripod legs directly below the lens, this also applies to larger tripods. In terms of versatility, this tripod features a small ball head (which can be removed), a cold shoe mount, and a 1/4" screw hole on each leg, allowing for many options including attaching a small flashlight, microphone, or any other small accessories. In general, the design is pleasant. It is made of aluminum and has a plastic leg locking system when used in one of the three possible positions. In view of the visual height to be gained with a high tripod, small to medium-sized DSLRs can still be used without any problems. My only negative about this tripod would be the price as it costs about the same and in some cases more than larger tripods.
