SmallRig CT-10 Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head Reviews

Sturdy and reliable!

By Callum
Rated 4 out of 5

I like this tripod! Very sturdy, very reliable, very easy to use. Good size, good weight. Only thing I would prefer is finer control over tip/tilt via some kind of a fine tuning knob—I know this is a feature on some other tripods, but at this price point, I'm *very* pleased with this product. I would recommend it to anyone!

pretty good
