TLDR~Shockingly Stable~Wonderful construction~Nice solid feel~Screws are pleasant to work and have a nice firm feel when torqued down.The ReviewI 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?

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.

The SmallRig Mini Tripod is made incredibly well and is very sturdy. My only small complaint is with the quick release plate. The small hex wrench that came in the box did not fit the 2.5 mm screws under the quick release plate. Fortunately, I had a 2.5 mm bit on hand. Overall, this mini tripod definitely is worth the price.

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.

I love this! It is tiny, it folds into one narrow cylinder, and it can be flexibly used with the camera in the horizontal or vertical positions. It is quite light but very solid, the rubber feet mean it won’t damage the desk or floor or wherever you use it, and it holds my full-size mirrorless camera firmly.

This is a nice little tabletop tripod. Solid Aluminum construction with a high build quality and smooth adjustments. Could only be made better if it had detentes for the legs to be locked in 3x positions with release tabs like you find in larger tripods. The legs are friction movable and only hard stop at the fully lowered position. The legs do not extend, which lends to greater stability. The bubble level only works in "vertical" mode, but most modern cameras take care of this anyway. I really like that the wings for adjusting the ball-head and Pan are spring loaded, so they can be adjusted to the users preference. Good Stuff from SmallRig. Two Thumbs Up.

Great, compact and very heavy duty tripod that folds small enough for travel use.

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 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

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.

Whether I’m shooting with my Sony mirrorless camera, my iPhone, or even a GoPro, this tripod handles it all like a champ. Build quality is outstanding—it feels rock-solid, and the updated design gives it a premium, rugged feel without the bulk. The 360° ball head is smooth and holds position well, even with heavier setups. The Arca-type quick release compatibility is a huge plus for fast swaps between tripod and handheld shooting.It’s also super portable—perfect for travel, tabletop use, or throwing into a small camera bag.If you're looking for a compact tripod that doesn't compromise on stability or build, this is an easy 5-star product. SmallRig nailed it with this one!
