The Pocket Pod from Really Right Stuff is a 5.1 oz support that folds down to 6" inches in length to fit in just about any bag. Made of aluminum and stainless steel, the Pocket Pod can be used as a monopod with its legs together or as a tripod with a maximum height of 6" with its legs partially splayed where it can support up to 15 lb. A 1/8" hex key is provided to adjust the leg tension. It's at its default setting of 1.7" with the legs fully splayed however, that it's a real performer. Used this way it's a suitable choice for mirrorless cameras or DSLRs with 70-200mm f/2.8 and 300mm f/4 equivalent telephotos. The Pocket Pod is compatible with several Really Right Stuff ball heads and comes with a 3/8"-16 adapter to accommodate them.

Really Right Stuff Ultra Reviews
Perfect for travel
I’ve been looking for some way to stabilize my camera for sunsets and longer exposure pics on vacation. I decided I don’t want to lug a larger tripod but I’d like something. I ran across these well-built, petite tripod legs from RRS and couldn’t resist them. I paired them with a Platypod Traveler ball head and it makes a great mini tabletop tripod for my travels. My camera is a Canon R6 Mark ii. This tripod held my camera and 24-105mm lens well. The only thing I couldn’t do without tipping is a portrait shot. As a newer photographer, I am quickly learning how great RRS products are!
Really Right Stuff Pocket Pod review
I bought the Really Right Stuff Pocket Pod and paired it with the Oben MBH-11 Dual-Action Mini Ball Head. I’ve used it to hold a Novoflex Castel-Q Focusing Rack with a Novoflex Castel Digital Slide Copying Attachment and a Canon EOS 5D-Mark IV and 100 mm macro lens. The tripod is very sturdy and has no problem holding all the gear I’ve put on it. I’m very satisfied with it and would recommend it.
