Really, really, REALLY nice and sturdy and well-built mini tripod
I looked at a lot of similar products and settled on this one, and I'm glad I did. I was VERY happy with the product as soon as I tried it.I got it for $39, at a 20% discount, and it was half the price of some of the almost identical mini tripods. So for that price, I consider this a complete steal.Here are some great things:- Crazy solid. I'm using this to hold a fairly heavy steel-and-glass teleprompter frame into which is mounted a Sony Alpha mirrorless camera, and the weight is actually offset some from the center of the tripod. My entire setup is about 5 lb and this thing has absolutely no problem holding it perfectly solidly, despite the offset.- The pan axis has a really nice fluid feel to it, and the locking screw is also perfectly effective.- The shoe clamp has a very solid lock, and it includes anti-slide protrusions that prevent it from coming off the side if the locking screw gets loosened by mistake.- Each of the knobs used to tighten the legs or lock down the head require VERY little force to be perfectly locked in place.- The legs lock into three different angles absolutely solidly. (It would be nice if there were one or two more positions, but I only need the full 90-degree position so that doesn't bother me.)- The legs extend four different lengths, and they lock solidly into place with a gentle twist of the foot.- The legs have really nice foam rubber grips on them. Easy to hold, and won't slip from my hand.- Very compact when fully folded.- It may be a bit heavy, but I appreciate the absolute rigidity that comes with that heft.- Came with a fairly solid cell phone clamp, a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter screw, and an allen key to tighten the leg hinge bolts.- Also included a nice carry bag with drawstring.Negatives? The ONLY thing I didn't find perfect was that the shoe screw requires a coin or screwdriver to tighten, but other than that it's perfect.Ver másVer menos
