The Cullmann Magnesit Copter Mini Tripod with CB-2 Mini Ball Head doubles as a tabletop tripod and as a handheld support for a DSLR, point & shoot, or compact camcorder. The legs are rounded on their outer side, so the closed tripod provides a comfortable hand grip. When folded open, the tripod & head sit 6.5" high on a table or other flat surface.
Composed of aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized a matte black, the Copter supports up to 2.5 lb and weighs only 0.6 lb.
The included CB-2 Mini Ball Head features a reversible mount: on one side is a standard 1/4"-20 camera screw, and on the other is a shoe mount for mounting an off-camera flash, LED panel, or other compatible accessory. The single knob of the head enables both the ball positioning and the pan movement.

Comments about Cullmann Magnesit Copter Mini Tripod with CB-2 Mini Ball Head:
I'm enjoying this little table top tripod. It's easy to carry and setup. The ball head on it is nice too. It's perfect for doing some macro shots, which is the main reason I bought it. I'm sure I'll find other uses too, the longer I have it. So far, it handles my D7000 DSLR just fine.

Comments about Cullmann Magnesit Copter Mini Tripod with CB-2 Mini Ball Head:
I bought this tripod in 2011, I have used it with my small point & shoot camera over and over again. It is very easy to use when taking pictures and not having to worry about how you are holding your camera body and if your hand is going to hit a button by mistake. It is also very easy to use when videoing which I do often. I took this tripod on a white water rapids trip , I had it in the water with my small point and shoot waterproof camera and it worked great. I also used it with my Nikon DSLR with no problems. It is strong and sturdy. I don't have to ask anyone to take a picture of my wife and I anymore, this little baby does the trick just great. Now I am going to buy my second one so I can keep one in each of our vehicles. I have used this tripod in Church events, Hiking and biking trips and even during photo shoots to hold my off camera flash. I have other tripods and monopods, but this is my favorite. I have no regrets buying this tripod.

I have used this tripod for travel and to have the ability to be included in my photos. It fits right in my Kata bag and and supports my SLR with all my lens as long as you position the legs right. I also love that it will hold my flash when I'm using it in slave mode.

This is perfect for those walking about, one camera situations. It fits in your pocket yet you have a mini tripod for those garden walls, tabletop portraits, beach or macro shots. Quality contruction, German engineering and a great price. I use a Nikon P7000 and Olympus E-420 with pancake lens.

Comments about Cullmann Magnesit Copter Mini Tripod with CB-2 Mini Ball Head:
I was looking for an ultra compact tripod that can be taken on trips without a need for large backpack or bag. I've been using Ultra-Pod 2 before and it did the job with my Nikon D50/18-200 lens... sort of. I had to hold the legs at all times to secure the setup. It also had a bit of a flex due to its' plastic body. All this was cured by the very solid, aluminium Copter. It offers stability and security plus all the benefits of a nice, metal ballhead for a very, very reasonable price. It even allows for panoramic rotation when not fully tightened.

I mainly use the Copter Mini to videotape watch reviews that I put on YouTube. Ten year warranty, who gives their products a ten year warranty, nobody that's who.
I like that it comes with a ball head which lets you position camera Lumix ZR3 in multiple positions.
The tripod is very lightweight you won't notice it stowed away in a backpack or even a pocket.
The ONLY thing that I didn't like about the Cullman was that the middle section wasn't tall enough. I'll stack the Magnesit Copter on some books for that extra height that I need.
Overall this tripod is well worth the small change you'll shell out to purchase it. Did I forget to mention that it has a "TEN" year warranty.
