Handy little tripod in Tripods & Monopods

I bought this little tripod for my Sony A7iii because I need a handy tripod to carry with me at all times. First, it's made out of carbon fiber, so including the included ball head, weighs about a pound. It's small enough to fit IN most camera bags (I use a Peak Design 5L bag) or for guys to use, sometimes I just put it in my jeans pocket. I've used it with my A7iii with a 24-105mm lens with no problems. While I'm not personally a vlogger, it can easily be used as a tripod as the legs are stiff enough for that use. My main purpose for this tripod is to have a stable footing for low (ground level) shots as the legs can be almost flat which I find very handy. Since I use it for low-angle shooting, I didn't use the included main stand to increase its height. If you're looking for a small, lightweight tripod that doubles as a selfie stick, this is probably a very good choice. . If you are looking for a tall tripod for very heavy DSLRs/camcorders I would not recommend this one. At $79.99 (at the time of purchase), it may seem expensive, but it's very well made and durable. I would buy this again in a heartbeat. Hope that helps.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • So-so
