Great divice to keep handy. Mar 18, 2006
By Juan F. Diaz The Mini-Pro Plus tripod is a great device to keep handy. I bought item because I need something small with features of a large TP as well as a handle to center the subjects on the camera's LCD screen; especially for video, because small digital cameras can sometimes be difficult to keep still by hand. I use it for a tiny Coolpix S1 but it can easily handle something much bigger without a problem. Setting it up is very easy once you get familiar to all possible adjustments and knobs, and once you're done it's a snap to put away.

As advertised Oct 18, 2007

The only caveat I have is that the footprint of the legs is very small (especially when fully retracted), so if you've got a long lens on a camera, you do risk the tripod toppling over if you don't take care to extend one of the feet along the same line as the camera is facing.
The adjustments are smooth and tight, and overall there's a feeling of quality I didn't expect in this price. I bought the tripod for a one-time special need, and ended up putting it in my gear bag as a generally useful tool.

Sturdy and versatile tripod Mar 08, 2007
By Daniel Antkowiak I need a way to mount cameras close to the ground and perform a full range of pan and tilt moves, and this is the only tripod I've found that enables that. It can even be counter-sunk to bring the pan/tilt head closer to ground level if necessary (by digging a small hole and setting the collapsed tripod into a cup). It's very sturdy, especially with the suction cup in the center post, and a very good purchase at this price.

Light weight, fully adjustable with great panning capability. It blows away my old pod.

A very versatile item! Mar 21, 2011
By mister-bro I purchased this tripod to use as a sturdy, table-top tripod. I love the three-way pan head. Basically, it functions like any normal lightweight tripod, but it is much shorter. I had tried a couple of table-top tripods with my Sony a700 DSLR, but found that they were too light to handle the weight of a full-size camera and lens. This one is MUCH more sturdy! The legs telescope out making the height about 15" or so. There are knobs for adjusting for horizontal panning and tilt. And, the camera platform pivots out so you can take vertical photos without removing the camera. As an added bonus, there is a level built into the platform. If I had to post any concern or negativity...it would be that the legs "splay" out some when a camera is attached...it's not a big concern or anything, but worth mentioning. All in all, the convenience of this small, sturdy tripod makes it WAY better than dragging out the big one for small photo projects...such as macro work, slide copying, etc.
