THE BEST MINI-TRIPOD FOR YOUR GOPRO, SMARTPHONE AND CAMERA

THE BEST MINI-TRIPOD FOR YOUR GOPRO, SMARTPHONE AND CAMERA

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? ? ).

Tripod with accessories for Smartphone, GoPro and remote shutter release.

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.

two positions

On the other hand, the adapter is valid for different smartphones as it attaches to different sizes:

CAMERA

More than one person may throw their hands up when reading this. But I'm going to qualify. It is not a tripod to take long exposures and obtain great sharpness. It is used to take self-portraits, appear in your family photos, shoot from a place from which you cannot reach well or with an impossible angle or to test  the long exposure and see if you like it. Why…

Why not try a tripod like this if you've got it before you make a big investment? Of course. It won't give you much stability, but it will give you the chance to test if you like long exposure photography. It will not help you to shoot with large objectives either. I use it with my 24mm Pancake and it works great, it is true that I also use a fairly light camera ( Canon 77D ). But if your equipment does not exceed 800gr, you can also use it. (Pictured with my old 450D.)

Also for your camera

THE BEST

We have been anticipating the best, it is light, portable, very versatile, of very good quality and you can put it in water. You can shoot from impossible angles, hook it anywhere, and adapt it to any terrain. Speaking of terrain... we could say that it is an all-terrain mini-tripod.

WORST

I see few drawbacks, it is not very tall, obviously, if not to see how you twist the legs, among other things. Also, we are talking about a mini tripod.

Perhaps the only thing I can say is that to frame vertically you have no choice but to place the tripod horizontally, or on its side. Although I am afraid that this is something common.

Oh, also that the legs pick up a lot of fluff (although you can wipe them with a wet cloth) and I can't make them completely straight anymore and they don't look so pretty in the photo for this presentation ? .

I'm sorry, I haven't reviewed the newly released tripod, with the package, the bags and so on... I wanted to squeeze its possibilities before presenting it to you to see if it would be more or less recommended to you.

I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU?

And yes, I recommend it, if you are looking for a tripod mainly for your smartphone or for your Gopro. Or to go out in your family and friends portraits with your SLR, which you also have the right to ? . I have already said it, I am delighted with it. And my little one also has taken a liking to time-lapses and asks me to make fast-motion videos for him ? .

Did you like it? If you found the review useful, I would appreciate it if you would share it on your favorite social network or give it a "Like", so I know if this is the content that interests you.

Thanks and see you soon!
