NEEWER Mini Metal Table Tripod with 360° Ball Head, Supports Vertical Recording and Handle, Portable Travel Tripod with 1/4 Inch Screw for Camera Mobile Phone Action Cam, Max. Load 3 kg, TP29

I really like this mini-pod, even though I only bought it for one specialty purpose. The extremely low-angle shot for the implementation of dramatic perspective is the exclusive point of making this purchase. It fills that purpose to the maximum degree. It is a wonderful camera accessory and has no cons to mention or observe. First, this mini-tripod is very solid, almost heavy aluminum. It makes for an extremely stable position at any angle and at any height. It locks into three positions with the lowest position being only an inch and a half above floor/ground level, which puts the center of a lens about four and a half inches from ground level. I had bought a smaller and cheaper mini-tripod, but it was almost all plastic. In fact, it was very lightweight to the point of almost being flimsy. More importantly, it would let my camera tip over too often and it could not get this near to the ground, so I returned it quite quickly. Second, the tripod head is also solid and is mostly metal, not plastic. It does not have a wobbly retaining wheel nut for attachment to the camera, as the other one did. They both have the ball head type mechanism and securely tighten down to keep a given position, however. Third, the length of this mini-tripod's legs are at least an inch longer the cheaper model I had bought. That model was not stable at all when the camera was tilted, whereas this Neewer model is quite stable. There is no danger of the camera falling over, no matter where it sits in relation to the legs. So, setting up for that specialty shot is quick and easy where you want and how you want! One could even get the camera and mini-tripod set up beforehand, then place it in position and make final adjustments. Further, the legs have much larger rubber tips which seves several purposes, including dampening vibrations. The upper part of these better legs are also covered in rubber, so for anyone who wants to use this mini-tripod as a selfie stick will find it very comfortable, even over long periods of time. Now, not to belabor the obvious, but this mini-tripod has limited capabilities and is designed with that in mind. In fact, both mini-tripods I address here are without any any extensions-- neither on the legs or between the legs and the tripod head-- there is no center post. This is only a mini-tripod, not a general-purpose, small tripod. I am not willing to compare any mini-tripod to any small tripod. Mini-tripods are specific to a desktop, tabletop or simple support for a camera or a wide wall, fence or other surface already at near eye-level height. You will need to pay a lot more to get a small tripod that will allow you to reverse the center post (to hang your camera underneath the top of the legs) or to allow attachment of your camera close to the ground. I decided I would only pay to meet my needs, not to have redundancy with existing equipment-- I already have two small tripods. Neither of them are suitable for my need for the very low-angle shots that I need in a limited number of projects. I also have a gooseneck monopod that clamps onto the edge of a desk for smartphone video that I might not trust to my camera. There's a principle I heard professional photographers advise to beginners and intermediates-- only buy some accessory that solves a problem or makes some aspect of your work easier. Rent it, otherwise. Spend money on more important or more helpful equipment or training, then. The sub-principle is only buy what you need, not going overboard at any time! Do not be a victom of GAS-- Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Anyone on a tight budget may have realized long ago that one only buys what one really needs, or to save money or to make money. It's not a matter of what you "like." Be frugal. If that's all you need for the next few years, then that should be all that you buy. Wait for a windfall to buy optional upgrades. So, I remind you to consider this product in light of its intended purpose and will warrant it to be good for my purposes keeping that in mind. It is a solid product for what I need to do, that's it. The cheaper model would suit part of my needs, but this one is far superior for that restricted purpose. It solves the problems of trying to shoot handheld and low-angle that I face. A more expensive model would give me the bonus of more features, but it would violate the principle and its corollary that I mentioned above. You need to do you. I offer the information, but you make your decisions. Well-recommended for my context, but your mileage may vary, as always. Be well. Be safe. A. D. Clark

Awesome piece of gear. Very solid metal construction, and great stability. The multiple locking leg positions is a real plus over other small tripods, because it allows a smaller footprint for placing on smaller shelves or other tight locations, or completely horizontal legs for max stability. The latch on the legs is well designed to feel secure but easy to adjust the leg angle.

This mini tripod has been one of the best tools in the bag. The metal body creates a sturdy frame. The legs can be adjusted so it's easy to capture different angles. More importantly it's tiny. This tripod takes up hardly any space so it packs extremely well. Absolutely a must buy for anyone who travels and creates on the go.

Purchased for mounting an electronic game caller. Very sturdy and NOT cheaply made. Easily adjustable legs and solid little ball head.

This mini tripod works fine for what I use, for low angle macro photography, I did end up replacing the ball head as the one provided had too much slack for my camera setup (less than three pounds) and would creep after I set fully tightened it. Other than that, it’s a great cheap mini tripod.

This is sturdy and feels solid. The legs lock into place and the spring-loaded slider on the top of each leg clicks into 3 different positions so there is good flexibility in adjusting the height. However, there is no center column allowing the ball head to moved higher than the legs themselves. The ball head is a bit better than many on low-cost mini tripods. It's all metal and locks very securely. It is not silky smooth when making minor adjustments, but that kind of ball head typically costs several times the price of this tripod, so it's not a real criticism.

This little guy is made of metal that gives it nice wright and the clamps are firm and sturdy. It's small and fits in any bag or case , stays where you set it (it has micro gears to click in) and is a great value for the money.

This is easily the nicest mini tripod I've purchased for my GoPro. It's a simple, no-frills unit that is perfect as a handle or tripod. The aluminum construction gives it some weight and sturdiness that you won't get from the plastic ones. I'm always skeptical of the ball heads on tripods. I've had way too many that slip out of position after setting up the camera. The one on this tripod is one of the best I've used. It stays in place with very little effort and just has a high quality feel to it. Again, it's a basic mini tripod... but the best one you will buy for the price.

I purchased it for my iPhone, as pictures described it’s suitable for different devices, but i found out it’s only for Prof Camera only :(

Just one down side is 360 smooth rotation is missing, Else its good one

Trépied génial car il est super stable et ne tombe pas sans être ultra lourd ! Donc validé je l’apprécie pour mon travail

That’s a solid piece of hardware. One of the best small tripods that I’ve ever had. I actually bought a second one because they where very very good! Top product

Ik heb twee van deze statieven aangeschaft om speedlights op te monteren tbv macro fotografie. Niets op aan te merken. Stevig en gemakkelijk in gebruik.
