Review on Platypod Ultra: Compact Flat Tripod for DSLR, Mirrorless, and Compact Cameras by Lisa Farley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good but far from perfect

I just got it and haven't really used it yet but I can already see some downsides. The supplied strap is too short. Not suitable for an easily accessible telephone pole or most street lamp poles. If you need rubber feet, the pointed end of the screws will pierce or tear your hands when adjusting the ball head if you are not careful. Perhaps the underside of the plate should be covered with silicone or a rubberized material so that legs are not always needed on the piece of furniture. Well made but a lot of money for what it is.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Anything to add
