Great inexpensive premium tripod.

Very sturdy for how small it is. I mount a Mamiya 645 on there no problem. If you need something extremely sturdy that will hold up to wind and large long lenses with heavy bodies, this obviously isn't it. But for an all-rounder it is hard to beat. One thing to note, if you are doing panoramas that require precise pan measurements, this one is not for you even though it has the pan markers. The pan and ball head share the same lock, so undoing the pan lock will also loosen the ball head, moving your camera.

Great choice for its price, maximum height and weight capacity, and included ball head.

This tripod is just what I needed for an advanced photography degree. I had never shot from a tripod before. This one is inexpensive, quite light and easy to use. It also comes to my eye-level (a huge factor for those of us 6+ feet tall and will hold my weighty camera bodies and lenses. The included ball head is another reason this tripod should be a pleaser. While I will still hand-hold most of what I do, I now have an alternative!

Great travel/hiking tripod

Not going to get too in-depth, but I really enjoy using this tripod. Solidly built, seems durable, very lightweight, and multiple ways to break it down into a compact form for travel. I wouldn't use it for product photography or architecture, but for landscapes and stationary video cameras I love it. PLUS it has an arca-swiss mount. Other tripod manufacturers - WHY DO YOU EVER NOT USE AN ARCA-COMPATIBLE MOUNT? Thank you 3LT for not hating your customers and using some idiotic, proprietary mount like some other brands.

Constructed with rugged ABS plastic flip locks, the Punks Patti tripod ensures secure positioning of the leg sections. Its 4-section legs and single column design provide exceptional stability and rigidity, capable of supporting a load of up to 10kg or 22lbs. This load capacity surpasses many other tripods in its class, making it suitable for most mirrorless and lightweight DSLR cameras.

The Punks Patti tripod stands out with its removable and reversible center column, allowing photographers to capture images from a multitude of angles, including close to ground level. This feature enhances creativity and versatility, making it an ideal choice for photographers across various genres.

Compact and portable, the Punks Patti tripod folds up to just 45cm or 17.7", making it a convenient companion for everyday use. It also offers three optimal leg angles - 23 degrees, 55 degrees, and 80 degrees, enabling shooting from a variety of heights, as low as 11cm or 4.25".

The Punks Patti tripod also features a patented Tri-Mount plate with three hollowed spurs for accessory attachments. This unique feature allows the tripod to counter-fold, even when the column is removed. Additionally, the tripod comes with detachable rubber Bootz, which can be replaced with any of our foot accessories for maximum stability on any terrain.
