Comments about Kalt Pocket Tabletop Tripod with Ballhead:
Had one of these for years. Using an SLR (film) camera with zoom lens. Loved it! Used it for backpacking; the lightness is a plus. I then got out of photogrphy and ended up loosing it. In search of a new light weight tri-pod that actually works was leading me into dead ends... until I found it here.

Comments about Kalt Pocket Tabletop Tripod with Ballhead:
The one that I just bought from B+H will be my third one: the first one I gave away to a friend in the Middle East, the second one lasted me for 27 years or so.
I've been using it for both SLR's and video and I have it with me whenever I go out to take pictures.
The only minor thing I can think about is that you can not replace the ball-head when it is worn-out as happend to me this time, but let's be real, replacing it after 27 years.... no problem.
Comments about Kalt Pocket Tabletop Tripod with Ballhead:
Like the prior reviewer I have had this little gem for 20years or so. With the primitive ball head it also worksvery nicely as a chest/shoulder brace. It is also a usefuloff camera flash stand. Highly recommended.
Expertise: Experienced (40 years or so) amateur.

Comments about Kalt Pocket Tabletop Tripod with Ballhead:
I often stretch the limits of design intent as long as I'm not hanging from a cliff with it. No exceptions here. Though I purchased this in a different era (read as century) I still use this little gem today. Mine is over 20 years old. Made of mostly aluminum, it's light weight and packs very small and narrow at 7 inches long. Clearly made for PS's and lighter weight SLRs, In a pinch I used this with a Nikon D200 and 70-300VR tele. Adjust a bottom leg to align under the lens and stay close by. If you don't mind carrying something a tad bigger there are obvious better/safer choices for regular use with larger DSLR's like the D200. Select something with a true tri-pod arc leg as opposed to this almost flat base configuration. For us lightweight travelers a good small tripod can do anything a larger unit can, just understand it's operational limitations and use a wee bit of imagination.
