SmallRig BH225 Reviews

Great lightweight compact tripod for travel

By Michael

This tripod is easy to pack and carry. I have also used it as a light stand for my travel portrait setup. So far, it seems sturdy for a lightweight item. It is good for a longer hike for a location portrait or landscape photography. I have not used it yet for a camera with a heavy telephoto lens attached. I think it would support it fine as long as you didn't need to pan around much.
