Review Summary

I bought this pod before it was available here and love it. I was looking for a replacement to one of Fotopro's cheaper tripods and found this one. It's amazing for it's size. I wanted a small compact tripod to carry on my walks for landscape shots where I can lower the shutter or HDR pics in the evening. This is much sturdier and holds my R5 with grip and EF 16-35 f4 with adapter with ease. This thing opens and sets in seconds also! Probably the smallest tripod folded and opens to 60" ! Anyhow, you won't regret this if you want a small pod. Fotopro also makes a slightly larger (when folded) carbon fiber pods that are even more sturdy, but I have other tripods if I plan on needing a sturdier pod already. But it's options if you don't need such a small one like this.

While the FY-820 5-Section Aluminum Tripod/Monopod in slate gray is designed for the modern photographer and videographer seeking both portability and versatility, it offers much more than its compact form suggests. With a folded length of just 25cm, this tripod is exceptionally portable, easily fitting into a camera bag or backpack, making it an ideal companion for travel and outdoor shoots.
Crafted for a broad range of users, the FY-820 extends up to an impressive 1525mm, accommodating various shooting scenarios. Despite its lightweight nature at only 0.8kg, it is engineered to be durable and sturdy, confidently supporting mirrorless cameras and heavier DSLR setups with a maximum load capacity of 8.1 to 9 lbs.
The tripod's full functionality is evident in its versatility. It serves as a reliable tool for hands-free full-body selfies, professional camera shooting, and even converts into a mini tripod mode for close-up macro photography. For content creators on the go, the center column can be quickly transformed into a selfie stick, ensuring you capture every moment with ease.
Quick panoramic shooting is a breeze with the included ballhead, which allows for swift leveling on uneven terrain without the need to adjust the legs. Simply loosen the panoramic knob to capture stunning panoramic shots with precision and ease.
The FY-820 is not only functional but also stylish, featuring fashion-forward colors and a rich texture thanks to its anodized process that ensures long-lasting bright color. For creative angles and more shooting possibilities, the inverted center column feature expands your photographic capabilities.
Live streaming or recording in windy conditions is no longer a concern, as the FY-820 remains stable even on blustery days. The Carabiner bag acts as a counterweight, providing additional stability when conditions demand it.
In summary, the FY-820 5-Section Aluminum Tripod/Monopod is a durable, sturdy, versatile, lightweight, and adjustable solution for photographers and videographers who require a reliable support system that adapts to their dynamic shooting needs.
