Let’s be honest. Tripods aren’t the fanciest, flashiest things, and this one is no different. there’s other options that weigh less, cost more, are taller, are shorter. But if you’re looking for a SUPER small tripod that sets up easily, this is it.Things that I love:It sets up SO quick. This is my go-to tripod for content creation now, just because of how fast it sets up. It’s always awkward filming in public, so being able to set up, get the shot, and get out is a HUGE benefit.It actually holds the weight of my DSLR/Mirrorless cameras unlike some other cheaper travel tripods.This thing is LIGHT. Like crazy light. The heaviest part is the head (which you might want to replace anyways, more later).Things that I… don’t love:It’s 2025 now and everyone has a knockoff of the PD quick release plate. I didn’t realize how annoying it is to manually tighten down a tripod mount until i had to do it again. The head is also just kind of heavy and big in general. You can find a replacement head that is both smaller and has a PD quick release plate, which actually lets the legs fold in a little bit more. It’s a weird design choice overall.The leg locking mechanisms are FAST, but they’re also quirky. It takes some getting used to, and when you haven’t used it in a while you end up not extending a leg all the way or not locking one all the way.Overall, if you’re on the fence about picking up this tripod, you won’t regret adding it to your kit. You might not use it EVERY time, but for the price it will fit a role that no other tripod can fill quite the same way. For that reason, it gets a 5/5 in my book every day.
