Neewer Portable Desktop Mini Tripod - Aluminum Alloy 20 inches/50 Centimeters with 360 Degree Ball Head, 1/4 inch Quick Shoe Plate for DSLR Camera Video Camcorder, Load up to 11 pounds/5 kilograms

Let’s face it — lugging a 76-inch tripod around on adventures is about as subtle and enjoyable as taking a lamppost for a walk. Enter stage left: the Neewer Mini Tripod, my new compact comrade in the quest for photographic glory. Measuring a charming 12.6 inches at rest and stretching out to a respectable 24.2 inches when it's feeling ambitious, this little legend proves once and for all that bigger doesn’t always mean better — unless you're trying to change a lightbulb in the Sistine Chapel. Packing it is a breeze. It tucks neatly into my backpack, poking out like a curious prairie dog scoping out the scene. No need to strap it to the roof of the car or apologise to fellow hikers as you accidentally joust them on a narrow trail. It’s the very definition of m compact capability. At a featherweight 0.6kg, it won’t leave you needing a massage and a protein shake after every repositioning. Lifting it in and out of your bag is as easy as picking up your enthusiasm for golden hour — no sweat, no swearing. The legs extend with satisfying ease, no fiddly nonsense or risk of sudden limb collapse mid-shot. Once planted, it feels sturdy and well built, like a pint-sized bodyguard for your camera. There’s even a clever little hook on the central frame for adding some weight — sandbag, shopping bag, existential baggage — whatever helps keep it steady in a breeze. And at just a whisper under £23, it’s an absolute steal. Not the sort of deal that makes you question its integrity, but one that makes you nod approvingly and say, “Why yes, I am a savvy buyer of fine camera support systems, thank you very much.” The Neewer Mini Tripod has already earned its place as the dependable sidekick to my creative adventures. It’s compact, lightweight, secure, and ready to help me capture the world — without dragging a telegraph pole through the forest. Watch this space, folks. The photos are about to get better, and my back is already thanking me.

This is an excellent mini-tripod - extremely solid construction and yet remaining compact, light and easy to operate. All the catches and locking screws operate smoothly and the height is easily adjusted over a wide range. The quick release plate works well and as stated, is ARCA compatible. A possible downside is that no carrying bag is supplied. Unless you need the extra height of a midi-, or full-sized, tripod I can highly recommend this product. Neewer produce some really high quality photographic products at very reasonable prices.

Excellent, small tripod, couldn't believe how sturdy it is

After some research on competing tripods from major photography gear brands, I bought this one because it looked sturdy and quite flexible. I was not disappointed. I use it almost every day to fit a portable projector or to fit a camera. I love the ball head, it's quite precise and smooth and locks well in place. I don't use very big lenses so not sure how far it can be pushed. It's not a quick release plate but for what I do it works fine and it has a level. It's got foam on the legs and really compares very well with my very big and expensive Gitzo tripod. Overall very impressed given the cheaper price than the competitors

This is a great mini tripod. Very sturdy and very well made. I really recommend this product.

If tripods could win medals for effort and charm, the Neewer Portable Desktop Mini Tripod would be standing tall on the podium, hoisting its 360-degree ball head in triumph. Let’s just say, I’ve met a lot of tripods in my time—some wobbly, some stubborn, some that seem to have a vendetta against symmetry. But this one? This one is the steadfast and surprisingly sassy sidekick my camera never knew it needed. First off, the construction: aluminum alloy, baby! Nothing says “I’m here for the long haul” like a tripod that’s both featherweight and sturdy enough to double as a defensive tool in a pinch (although, for legal reasons, let’s stick to photography). At just 20 inches (or 50 centimeters for all the metric-lovers in the house), this little marvel fits on my desk, in my backpack, or atop the pile of other forgotten gadgets with ease. Now, let’s talk about the 360-degree ball head. This thing swivels with the grace of a ballerina and the precision of a Swiss watch. Want a dramatic low-angle shot of your snoozing cat? Done. Need a perfect overhead video for your latest culinary masterpiece/failure? No problem. The Quick Shoe Plate (1/4 inch) means popping my camera on and off is faster than my morning caffeine fix—and trust me, that’s saying something. But here’s the kicker: this mini tripod can hold up to 11 pounds (that’s 5 kilograms for the scientifically inclined). Eleven pounds! I could probably balance my lunch on this thing while filming, and it wouldn’t break a sweat. My DSLR feels as secure as a pampered pooch in a luxury carrier. I’m convinced that if I ever lose power, I could use this tripod as a makeshift dumbbell and actually get a workout. Oh, and did I mention the price? Purchased from Amazon, it arrived at my door faster than I could say “add to cart,” and for the value, it’s an absolute steal. Setting it up was so easy, I barely had time to sip my coffee before I was already snapping away. In conclusion, the Neewer Portable Desktop Mini Tripod is everything I hoped for: reliable, easy to use, and charmingly compact. It’s the unsung hero of my desk setup, the silent supporter of my artistic ambitions, and the only tripod to ever make me laugh out loud while writing a review. If you want a tiny titan of a tripod that can handle almost anything (except maybe your existential dread), this is the one. Five stars, two thumbs up, and one happy photographer!

This is great quality and bigger than expected! Exactly what I needed and feels so much more sturdy than the cheaper tripods.

I wanted a cheap but sturdy tripod to use on tables etc. It not the strongest but at this price but it does what i need it to do. It folds up easily, is light and has enough features. Its small enough when folded and not over complicated.

I bought it for my Spotting scope and used it during my holidays. It is quite compact and easy to carry in your back back. Material is quite sturdy and robust. Love it.

conforme à mes attentes. Pratique pour la photo macro botanique de terrain avec mon bridge. facile à caser ds le sac à dos.

This is a great little tripod. It goes from approx 6 inches to 19 inches in height. It easily holds my Nikon Z5ii with a 105mm macro lens so it will work well in the field when photographing those little things that are close to the ground.

Nice tripod and good for small dslr upto 2-3kg with small lens. Easy to carry and does the job that i was looking for. Bought it for nikon z50 and does the job of handling it properly. Ball head is nice. Overall a quality product.

Good stuff. Great price
