SmallRig Mini Tabletop Tripod with QR Plate for Arca-Type - BUT2664

Grandson loves it. Easy to use

Best tripod out there. Very high quality. The coating is not very strong, but then again anything in this price range, there is nothing better!

TLDR ~Shockingly Stable ~Wonderful construction ~Nice solid feel ~Screws are pleasant to work and have a nice firm feel when torqued down. The Review I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this little tripod when I opened up the box. I wasn't exactly certain of what to expect, but for the price I was expecting something that was a bit better than something you would grab at Walmart, but not by much. This tripod is far better. This little thing feels solid as a rock, and the rubber feet on it actually work to keep it in place, I know that sounds like a strange statement, but I am so used to having to work out silly little contraptions to get a camera steady and low to the ground that this SmallRig minitripod really made me very happy. There really is not much more to say about it, wonderful premium feel. And the most important place for a device to feel good is when you are moving it. The tension screws feel great, when it feels tight in the hand its tight on the device. Again a strange statement, but its very pleasant to not have to really bear down on a screw to make sure that its not going to slip on you. I am using this tripod for holding up a camera during macro work with a Manfrotto 454 slider on top, it does a great job of holding everything nice and stable and staying right where I want it to. Thumbs up, I totally recommend this little tripod if you want to have a low to the ground tripod for some reason, nice, tight and stable. I attached a test photo doing a photo stack using this tripod, works like a charm. The photo is a 5:1 Macro shot of a bug about 1mm in length. It looked pretty cute and fuzzy before I took these shots. Its standing on a flower and those little bumps are the cells of the flower petal, pretty steady tripod eh?

This a very good little one. Solid construction, I love it. Now why only 4 stars? the tip of the legs have either a silicone or ruberized inserts. For most people that is no problem at all but I am the kind of person who loves to do Long exposures. We talking 30 seconds to hours long and those leg inserts are just begging to have wind shake the whole frame. For long exposures that is murder. otherwise I would recomend this one. One final thought. I dont think it will hold a full DSLR with a Big Lense. I would expect it but since the construction is full metal I am sure someone will try it. hmmm not me. I have heavey professional DSLRs and this will not do. Maybe if you hold a Pro lens on a sand bag while the tripod holds the camera body for those super low to the floor shots them maybe.

The SmallRig Mini Tripod is a true game-changer, earning a solid 5-star rating from me. Its updated desktop tabletop design, coupled with Arca-Type compatibility, makes it a standout accessory for any camera setup. The compact design is incredibly portable, fitting snugly into my camera bag without adding bulk. The build quality is top-notch, ensuring durability on the go. The Arca-Type compatibility is a brilliant feature, allowing quick and secure attachment and detachment of the camera. This, coupled with its seamless integration with the SmallRig cage, enhances its versatility. Stability is remarkable for its size, providing a reliable base for capturing smooth shots in various environments. The adjustable ball head adds another layer of flexibility, facilitating easy adjustments for creative shooting angles. Overall, the SmallRig Mini Tripod is a must-have accessory for content creators seeking a portable, stable, and versatile solution for their camera setup.

Awesome compact tripod. Works great.

Small, lightweight and really good. I mounted my gimbal head on this and it’s sturdy enough to take the weight of the gimbal head and my camera with 600mm lens. Great product.

This mini tripod is definitely built to last. Holding it just gives off that heavy duty reliable feeling. It's sturdy enough to hold my Sony a7III with either the Sony 16-35mm or 24-70mm F2.8 G Master lenses. Regardless of which lens I use, I can still mount either a flash or mic on the hot shoe and still be able to position the camera at a straight upright position pointing to the sky and it doesn't tip over. The legs don't have stops to them, but they're stiff enough that when you adjust them, they keep their place regardless of the weight or camera positioning angle. If you're planning to use this as a blogging handle, keep in mind that it is heavy and that you must have a decent size hand to be able to grip it properly. For my wife it is very uncomfortable to use like this, but I don't have a problem with it. I also like that you have those anchoring points which allow you to further secure it when shooting in non secured angles or surfaces.

Tripod Quality is Excellent and Premium. Heavy and build to hold heavy setups. And it is stable. Price feels higher. But you’re gonna have more value thing on top so kept it safe. Worth it.

This is the perfect lil’ mount to use with a micro four thirds (M43) mirrorless camera. It is sufficient for the payload of body + medium sized lens. My primary use will be astrophotography where I can set this up on an outdoor patio table in the cold winter night and use a remote shutter control from the cozy confines of my abode.Very well made and reasonably priced.

I purchased this hoping for an efficient way to enhance my photography and videography setup, and this mini tripod has quickly become an indispensable tool. Its quality and versatility truly stand out. The build quality is great; it feels robust and well-made, assuring me it can handle various cameras and devices without issue. What I particularly love is the ease with which I can switch between portrait and landscape mode. The 360° ball head is incredibly smooth, making adjustments quick and intuitive, which is fantastic for dynamic shooting needs. This tripod is exceptionally sturdy, providing a stable base for compact cameras, DSLRs, GoPros, or even phones. This stability is crucial for sharp photos and smooth videos, whether it's set on a desktop or used on the go. Additionally, its design makes it easy for handheld shooting. When the legs are folded, it transforms into a comfortable and secure grip, providing extra stability for walking shots or vlogging. With its Arca-type compatible quick-release plate and 1/4" screws, it offers broad compatibility. If you're looking for a portable, high-quality, and highly versatile mini tripod that excels in both tabletop and handheld use, this is an excellent choice.

Its metal, heavy compact, durable. Feels confident in hands that camera will not fall off!! It does not work properly with ARKA peak design capture clip base but its okay. It would be great if it gripped peak base properly as its own.

I currently have a Sony Zve10 and have been filming some talking head videos. This trip was an amazing addition to sit on the desk easy to set up very stable and great quality. Although it doesn't come with it you have the ability to attach a phone mount. Great addition for filing content
