SmallRig Camera Tripod, 71" Foldable Aluminum Tripod/Monopod, 360°Ball Head Detachable, Payload 33lb, Adjustable Height from 16" to 71" for Camera, Phone

The value is unbelievable. $60 ('sale price')for a tripod with this much functionality and sturdiness is superb. Build quality is good where it matters - like the tripod legs and metal components. Other items have a cheaper plastic feel, like the knobs that adjust the ball head. I love the cleverness of the three 1/4-20 connections built into screws where the legs fold. What a great surprise for me to uncover. For the price, SmallRig has clearly prioritized putting money into the right areas.One con is that as delivered, the ball head did not have smooth range of motion. It would get stuck while moving or rotating it instead of having a fluid motion. This worried me a lot, as that's one of the most important factors of a good ball head tripod. I moved it through all positions to troubleshoot and found extra material on the very bottom of the ball, it looked like dried superglue :/. I was able to scrape off ~2/3s of the material and the ball head started moving much better. I would have returned it if this quality issue persisted.

Very solid and has multiple adjustments so you can get the right set up that you need.

Great little tripod for the money. It’s lighter weight but my full size dslr works on it with no problem.Pretty much everything Small Rig does is a win!

Decent quality(includes allen keys for all the bolts)...Definitely in the "lightweight/travel or hiking " category. It's thinner and smaller than I initially thought it would be (from the pictures). It's fine for my Micro four thirds rig( I would not stick a Z9 on it).; but I aim to replace my sturdy, solid ( albeit heavy) 1980s all metal "tiltall"tripod I used with my 35mm film slr/ gear. So I'm still looking for my next reasonably priced tripod. Something a little sturdier. But I can't afford a "Gitzo".

I am using for both taking photos with my iPhone and using my telescope viewer. It has two base attachment so I can swap quickly.One thing to be aware of: I was adjusting it in the dark while taking aurora photos (or attempting to) and it came apart. I tried to put together on the dark but one piece was not able to go back on. Strangely enough, the post had come off during the initial breakdown which I had not noticed in the dark.I had to remove the top, remove the attaching post and put the collar on, then replace the post before screwing the top piece back on. (This will make sense if you are fighting with this problem)Now I am using it with pleasure, easy adjustments, smooth turning.

I recently got my hands on the SmallRig 71" Camera Tripod, and it has completely revolutionized my photography game. The build quality is outstanding - the aluminum frame feels sturdy and durable, giving me confidence in its longevity.One of the standout features is the 360° ball head, which provides unparalleled flexibility in framing shots. It's incredibly smooth and easy to adjust, allowing for seamless transitions between portrait and landscape orientations.The versatility of this tripod is a game-changer. The fact that it can transform into a monopod adds an extra layer of functionality that I've found incredibly useful for on-the-go shooting. Plus, the adjustable height range from 16" to 71" is a game-changer, enabling me to capture shots from various perspectives.The payload capacity of 33lb is impressive and easily accommodates my professional-grade camera equipment. I appreciate the stability and peace of mind it offers when working with heavier setups.The foldable design is a huge plus for portability and storage. It's compact enough to fit in my gear bag without taking up too much space.Overall, the SmallRig 71" Camera Tripod is a top-notch piece of equipment that caters to both amateurs and professionals alike. It's a versatile, reliable, and durable addition to any photographer's toolkit. Highly recommended!
