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.

We’ve stocked AquaTech rain covers for 20 years and they’re still the industry standard for shooting in adverse weather conditions. Through rain sleet or snow AquaTech rain covers will keep your equipment dry and ready to shoot.
They’re also making all weather gear designed for photographers, we stock their waterproof ‘Sensory Gloves’ with silicon palm grips for keeping hold of your camera and instant exposure for your thumb and index finger so you can easily operate your camera without removing the gloves.
Our most recent addition to our AquaTech stock are Sound Blimps which minimises shutter noise for shooting weddings, theatre, music, sports events such as golf & archery and animal events, for example equestrian events where horses may shy if startled by a suddenly firing shutter.
