Review on πŸ“· 11-inch Camera Tripod Mount for Canon, Sony, Nikon, Samsung Cameras by Arkon by Jim Larson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for your 4lb gear

Might be good for a point and shot or very light entry level DSLR but I definitely wouldn't use it with my 5lb SLR entrust. The leg is thinner than I would expect and the ball joint appears to be made out of cheap lightweight plastic and feels like it will fall apart if you put too much weight on it. I tried my 5 pound camera on it and struggled to get it stable so it wouldn't slip. I sent it back and ordered a Joby SLR Zoom instead. The Joby appears to be twice as powerful as this one and the ball head is much easier to use. You get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Doubtful
