Portable Travel Mini Tabletop Tripod, Aluminum Alloy 20''/ 50cm Desktop Desk Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head, 1/4" Quick Shoe Plate for DSLR Camera Video Camcorder, Max Load 11 lb/5 kg

I bought this to hold up my Podtrak p4 with a bracket I bought on Etsy. Though light weight it is extremely durable and dense in a way that it provides a sturdy base to keep it from tipipng over. I get to position my portable podcast recorder on my desk with me and position it in almost any direction needed. It doesn't appear that it will vibrate, or vibrate to any degree that it would effect recording. And it won't tip over if accidently knocked or bumped. I love Neewer products, they offer a good value for the money, it is compact for portability and seems to fit just about anything I will need to put on it. It looks just like and feels just like the quality of a Manfrotto.

UPDATE: Now I have two. This little tripod is well made and very sturdy. I’m impressed with the construction and functionality. I’ve attached a crossbar that allows for a straight down camera shot for macro photography. By itself, the tripod is a very handy tabletop tripod the can be adjusted from about a 8 inches to 2 feet. The leg locking mechanism works well and is very stable. There are multiple leg positions to enable varying degrees of stability by moving the center gravity downward. The weight is just right - just heavy enough to be stable and secure, but not overly clunky. It’s light enough to use as a selfie stick if you do not use a cage rig. Adjustments are smooth as are the mounting ball socket, legs and radial swivels.

I bought this little tripod to use with a new shooting chronograph that utilizes Doppler radar to determine how fast a projectile is moving. Since I'm restricted to shooting on an indoor range, I needed to mount the chronograph unit just behind and to the side of the firearm and about 4 inches below the muzzle. Shooting from a standing position, the Neweer tripod allows me to set it up on the shooting bench and position the chronograph exactly where I need it to be. I'm especially impressed with the apparent materials and build quality of the tripod. The tripod seems to be assembled very well and does not have a lot of "play" between moving parts. Once adjusted and set up, it's very sturdy. The included quick release mount with 1/4" screw is a nice bonus, as some tripods require that this piece be purchased separately. There is a leveling bubble included on the mount, as well, and I'm able to level up the tripod, mount the chronograph and get shooting in just a couple of minutes. Legs are sturdy and are easily adjustable. The rubber feet are twisted counterclockwise to allow the legs to telescope out in sections by pulling on them. On my particular tripod, these were very tight and I initially had to exert a respectable amount of force to get them to pull out. They've loosened up a bit with use, but they're still pretty tight. A sign of quality, I'm assuming. The tripod arrives in a small cardboard box, but I found on Amazon a set of 6 drawstring nylon bags that were exactly the right size and hold the tripod perfectly, allowing me to carry the tripod in my range bag, which affords it some protection and provides a convenient way to transport it. If you need a small tripod, this is the juice right here.

This thing is quite heavy for the size, but it extends a good amount. It was more than enough to get my Canon EOS R50 with 18-45mm Lens mounted and above my 27 inch monitor for live streaming. I do wish it had a tab of some kind to turn the screw on the mount plate, but amount of weight it's able to hold without much movement at all is still quite impressive. It's also easy to extend and retract once you understand the controls. The legs are controlled by the red tabs, and can even fold flat to the ground. The rubber feet can be loosened or unscrewed, and they're telescoping for even more added height if necessary. Holds my Canon EOS R50 with no problems whatsoever. It's the tripod I'm using most often for live streaming and video calls. It has been absolutely fantastic.

The good: I've been searching for something compact and sturdy to support my Sony A7rIII and other cams for a while. This is pretty much it. It folds small enough (particularly if you remove the column and ball head and flip it around) to fit in most lens-sized pockets in a camera bag, is solidly built, extends tall enough to be used for almost any shooting scenario, is stable... It's a nice bit of kit and will be taking up residence in my travel bag. The not so perfect: First, the center column locking mechanism. This needs a bit of work to secure any camera of appreciable weight. The clamping force is not enough to prevent the A7RIII with and without grip and any average lens from drifting radially. It's easily bumped off-axis while simply adjusting camera settings or, if the tripod is on any slope and the column not vertical, the column will rotate fairly readily. This really needs a rethink to provide more clamping force. I would actually be OK with eliminating the column altogether as it really does not add appreciable height and mounting the ball head directly to the center yoke would both solve the issue, simplify the entire tripod, and make it even more compact. The second item is somewhat personal. I use a Black Rapid strap when traveling and as such, need a mount in the tripod socket to clip the strap to. Typically, I use Manfrotto RC2 quick release plates. These are perfect for a quick and seamless jump from strap to tripod. BR even makes a replacement mount (FR-T1) that is compatible with the RC2 plates. The included ball head functions well enough and the quick release is OK. But, there is not enough depth in the plate to accommodate a fixing screw with a loop like the FR-T1 to attach to the clasp on the strap. Removing the plate and replacing it with a BR screw for each transition is something that was not going to work for me. This is made a bit worse by the top of the ball head interface with the QR plate which has a keyed feature. Not a bad idea but, it eliminates the possibility of swapping just the QR assembly for the RC2. This meant I had to replace the entire ball head. So, the $40 tripod became a $100 solution. Still not a deal breaker though. If they fix the column clamping force and made the top of the ball head shaft universal, this would be a 5 star review. If you are using a smaller, lighter weight camera than the A7rIII and don’t mind the proprietary plate system, then this is a perfect and solid solution for travel.

This Neewer Portable Desktop Tripod is one dynomite device ! Build quality is outstanding ! Perfect for those small jobs where a larger tripod isn't necessary. Supports my Canon 70D with no problem. My only gripe is, and it's a minor one, is that I wish the quick release plate had a loop for tightening instead of requiring an allen wrench or coin. I highly recommend adding this tripod to your equipment arsenal !

Wow this tripod is SOLID!! It's small size and infinite adjustability is what I bought this for as I mainly shoot products on a table. Quality materials, superior adjustability!! I am looking forward to using this a lot. The three legs can extend in length, but they also "lock in" at various angles allowing you to pick the camera height. The center also adjusts in height as well. Best part, it folds up to a very small package size when not in use. Great product!

Works well. I use it to mount a scope on it and it works excellent for that. I also have a camera I can use it for but that is not my primary purpose for it. It is well built and sturdy. It is easy to use and adjust to different heights and angles and even has a built in level. it size is very compact to pack and carry with my scope in the same bag. Overall good value for the money.

I bought it for my Spotting scope and used it during my holidays. It is quite compact and easy to carry in your back back. Material is quite sturdy and robust. Love it.

conforme à mes attentes. Pratique pour la photo macro botanique de terrain avec mon bridge. facile à caser ds le sac à dos.

Nice tripod and good for small dslr upto 2-3kg with small lens. Easy to carry and does the job that i was looking for. Bought it for nikon z50 and does the job of handling it properly. Ball head is nice. Overall a quality product.

Fits great with my camera and video cam

Ottimo rapporto prezzo/prestazioni con dimensioni ridotte per un uso da viaggio pur rendendo possibile un'altezza massima di circa 50cm. La colonna centrale sfilabile con possibilita di inversione ed uso capovolto con la macchina in basso è ulteriore positività alla quale si contrappone una difficoltà delòle gambe nell'estensione con possibili impuntamenti/bloccaggi di sezioni della gamba sia in apetrtura che in chiusura che non ne pregiudica l'uso, ma, lo rende scomodo. Molto bello a vedersi e ben fatto e facile nell'uso; raccomandato.
