A substantial full height tripod is one of the building blocks of your professional kit but sometimes something lighter or smaller is required for tight spaces or to pop on a table-top. The small tripods that we stock are detailed below in height order:
The Nivelo tripod from Vanguard is compact and lightweight at only 0.6kg and it extends to an impressive height of 101cm from only 30cm when folded.
Maximum load: 2kg
Joby’s Gorrillapod is incredibly popular because it is so versatile. The heavy duty Focus model can hold up to 5kg of gear and will stand on almost any terrain.
Lighter models are available for smaller bodies or remote flashguns.
The heaviest duty tripod, holding an amazing 25kg, is the Novoflex BasicBall. The legs are fixed length and screw together at different angles to make a solid unit at various heights.
This mini tripod can hold an 800mm lens - easily.
A truly mini tabletop tripod the Manfrotto 209 holds only 2kg but it really does fit in your pocket and would stand on any table.
The Ground Plates from OverXposed are not technically tripods but they are perfect for low angle photography. The two sizes of plate have rubber foam pads so they don’t damage the surface and they’ll hold almost any weight.
