Today I bring you an accessory that has me hooked. It is a fairly small object but with great features: a mini tripod that is used for the mobile , the GoPro and also for other cameras. Even SLR, yes, yes, as you hear it. This last one with nuances that I will tell you about now, but it is also valid for some cases;).
Let's take a closer look at it, but I bet you're going to put it on your wish list.

CHARACTERISTICS
It is a very light Fotopro tripod that you can easily carry in your backpack. Ideal for trips, excursions, sports outings and more.
You can put it in the water. Yes, as you read, you can put your legs in the water without problem. Which gives you the possibility of inserting the tripod and photographing from places that you had not thought of before.
The legs are rubber and quite robust. The touch is quite pleasant and does not slip, it helps to grip.
It has a bluetooth remote shutter release, ideal for those self-portraits I was telling you about or to hook it to the ceiling light and shoot from below. Or to do a pirouette with your skate while the shooter is a colleague because you have the concentration on the jump. Or in any other sport. The possibilities of the trigger with this tripod are many. As many as your imagination wants;).
If you put the legs together you can also use it as a selfie stick . You may think that with a tripod who needs one, but hey, how much fun is it sometimes to make one? Raise your hand if you haven't taken a selfie with friends or family (I see few hands, huh? ? ).
It is very versatile. It works for both your GoPro, your Smartphone or your camera (compact, EVIL or reflex). Let's see one by one:
GOPRO
The great thing is that you can screw it on the bike handlebars, for example, screw it on a tree branch, on a lamppost or anywhere else. In addition, of course, to be able to put it on the ground on three legs ;). This last option, as the legs are flexible, offers the possibility of adjusting it to irregular terrain such as mountains, rocks, etc. And about the water, I'll tell you now.
SMARTPHONE
With it you can take, in addition to self-portraits and impossible angles, time-lapses and long exposures. Like capturing the trails of cars, the silk effect of water and endless other possibilities. If the native camera of your smartphone does not allow you to control the shutter speed, you can always resort to an application to master manual mode with your mobile camera.
The mobile adapter offers two possibilities, to put your phone in two positions, as you can see in these two photos.
