    This tiny tripod packs a punch!

    By Andrew
    Rated 5 out of 5

    I have used this a few times and it fills the exact need I hoped it would. Nicely made and paired with the recommended RRS BC-18 Micro Ball Head. I carry this in my day pack and it is light enough that I don't give it much thought. On the occasional time that I need a tripod, I have one. My most common use scenario is wanting to take long exposures of moving water. I am not implying this is as good as a full-sized tripod but I am not going to carry one of those so it is the micro or maybe a beanbag. The tripod works well on a solid foundation. My most recent use was at Ruby Beach in WA State where the rocks are mostly 2-3 inches in diameter and flat. I don't think this tripod will work well on sand or soft soil

    Good for tight spots

    Good for tight spots, lays flat. Surprisingly well balanced!
