Nikon Compact Tripod

This is a compact and light tripod for traveling and hiking. This does not come with a case and I used a sleeping pad bag to store it and strapped to my backpack. The legs are sturdy and gives slightly with heavier camera or spotting scope, but great for lightweight cameras and binoculars or scope. With the legs fully extended and spread out, the extended height is approximately 44 inches. This limits it's use as a monopod.

Even with my 28-200 heavy lens, this compact tripod can handle it without tipping or drooping. It goes down to like a 16" height which I didn't expect and am quite glad, makes it even more handy & useful for my nature & travel pics.

Exactly what I expected, and an excellent value given the inexpensive price. Not a professional model by any means, but more than adequate for my casual needs. Not sturdy enough for more demanding applications, nor capable of supporting a scope/camera in excess of 2.5-3 lbs.

Traveling around the world,I love it !!!

Bought it for the kids to use with cameras, it was easy for them to attach cameras to the tripod.

After much searching for a light weight, cost effective tripod, I purchased two, one for my husband and myself. One of our favorite hobbies is photography. I have a Nikon D40X and he has a Nikon D80. Although a little shorter than we like, it is workable. For the size, they are extremely sturdy and stable. We used some of our larger lenses and did not have any problems with the tripods tipping or sagging. As a matter of fact, I used mine as a walking stick during a hike over steep and uneven surfaces, at times putting my full weight on the tripod. The legs did not slip or creep. Would not recommend this practice, but it is worth mentioning.

I will be using it with my SLR camera and am pleased with the quality of the tripod.

Fit's well into a pack and it is very light. I will use this for hiking and fishing.

This is light weight and easy to strap to your pack.
