Inexpensive and sturdy. Got on black Friday for like $15. Only downside is paid like $15 for shipping. Holds my Sony sv e1 well!

Great value for what it is and price. I like the compactness and the height size for this. Perfect to put on a table. Folds pretty effortlessly and quality components. Another win for Adorama. Prefer adorama products over cheap Amazon products.

Well built and configurable. I'd prefer to be able to swap out the bullhead if desired, but the one it has is excellent, so that's not a gripe. 2 nitpicks: I'm not yet sold on having the strap permanently attached, but it can be replaced with something else if it ever tears because it goes through an open slot. Also, the main shaft and upper shaft loosen/tighten in opposite directions. Probably a reason for that but I can't imagine what it would be.

This thing is awesome, I have used it to hold a light, a mic, and my iPhone for quick b-roll on a shoot. I work on a national TV show as a producer, and my camera guy loved it so much he bought 2 of them.

Came with the bundle for the EOS R, and it gets the job done. It?s small, convenient, and very lightweight can definitely carry it around in a backpack with you (with minimal gear) and not feel burdened.

Surprisingly functional and well crafted, given the price point. It?s good for anyone with a need for desktop camera or lights

Does what it is supposed to do. I am using it to hold a ringlight over my laptop for video calls, so it may be a bit of overkill, but it is stable and offers enough adjustment to make it work. Haven't done any setup/teardown, so I don't know how reliable it would be for that kind of use, but it works fine for this application.

Great little tripod for travel. I trust this wayyy more than a joby gorilla pod since the feet are very sturdy and no way of failure.

Great little tripod. I use them for my marshall cameras and they give me a ton of positioning flexibility. I need more of these!

Works great with small point and shoot cameras, when you need a quick set up. I wouldn’t use it on a windy day. I use it for night photography mainly, and I love that I can fold it up and I can place an entire photo kit in my bicycle bag.

I was pleasantly surprised with the table top tripod. It seems very sturdy -- enough to hold my 5D Mk4 with a 24-105 lens (within reason). The ball head itself is worth the price as I can move it to other mini tripods as needed.

Good tripod for GoPro type cameras or tabletop flash stand. Probably not for anything larger.

Very handy tripod. Hold your camera on table top, great to use with your strobe to hold it for up lighting, good to use to hold light weight props. This unit has made itself a go to item for holding various items at various locations.

This little pod is perfect to mount a microphone on a desk or to mount an iPhone to record video. It seems really well made and folds down to an easily packable size. I didn’t expect such a quality product for such a low price.

Compact and sturidly built. Versatile with wide range of height. Easy to use ball head. This will fit my need for a host of photo projects.

Seems well built. It met my needs for a table top light stand for a small LED light panel

I am using this 3Pod Table Top Tripod as a backup option to support a Mevo wireless webcam, mirrorless/DSLR when when in webcam mode, or for small LED lights like the Rotolight NEO when using as backfill for Zoom/video conference calls or other work. In real use I find it excellent as a backup option like when I am adding a second camera or second light or need to support something in a pinch, but only adequate for primary daily-use. It is well-built and lightweight for travel, but I am more likely to use my gorilla-pod when traveling because it is more versatile, the main drawback for travel is that the tripod legs need a perfectly 90-degree perpendicular smooth table-top surface to work at all, and the tripod legs also need to be fully-extended, there is no extending the legs partially to get the stand to be taller or to make the legs fit on top of a more narrow or uneven surface. It does pack up well and is lightweight however so I might carry it if my bag is too tight to fit the gorilla-pod since its better than nothing. For home or office use I find that the total height is not quite high enough, close but not quite enough, to clear the top of a 27-inch monitor, this is the toughest one for me since I would be more inclined to use this as a primary table top tripod if I could support cameras or small lights behind the monitor, this just won't do that, it is great on side of a large monitor but not centered behind a large monitor, works well however for smaller monitors or with a laptop, if I am traveling and know I am going to be on a lot of Zoom/web conference calls with a laptop I might carry this. For a primary use table top tripod for home or office I'd need it to be taller and ideally have a short arm-extenion feature and variable settlings for extending the legs taller vs. smaller, there are better options available at a slightly higher spend than the 3Pod's suggested retail price. Overall one can never have enough support options and it gets the job done but only for those narrow use-cases, I definitely recommend to pick it up at the sale price or as part of a Adorama bundled savings package whenever the opportunity comes up.

I haven't used it in the field yet, but feels very sturdy and well built, for a compact tripod, the ball head is very nice and smooth, going to use it for my GoPro.

Simple ....light weight ....good for small dslr or point and shoot , also low to the ground shots where handheld isn't a option (extreme low light etc )

I was surprised at the quality that this small tripod offered. Perfect for holding my Sony A77Mii camera and lens. No problems with wobble or movement. A tripod I wish I had used in the past. It is small enough to carry in my camera bag and not worry about not having one with me.

I got this for free in a new camera package. I wasn't planning on using the tripod at all since I already have a regular tripod that I like. I tried using this small tripod to see what it could do and I was impressed. It is sturdy and doesn't weigh you down. I have used it a few times like a grip, used it for filming on the floor, and placed it on a table as well. Planning on keeping it in my bag. It is compact and great for everyday use.
