Review Summary

sturdy, rigid, fairly lightweight and small. flip lock legs work fine. fit a medium ball head on it w/o a problem. its quite usable for Timelapse at minimum length as long as you are open minded about support - table, rock, etc to get the right height. traveled well. in a very small photo backpack just big enough for a body and 2 small lenses. much better than some other cheap options that can't support a camera. also had no problem putting 5# shot bag on it when it was windy and not taking chances wind would take tripod over. I've seen it happen with big cameras on big tripods.

Excellent small tripod. Very sturdy, light weight, and allows me to have the camera very close to the ground

After using this small tripod for over a year now, it is an amazing piece of gear. It allows the photographer to take photos from just above ground giving a new perspective to wide angle photos.

I love this little tripod! It allows me to get lower to the ground for interesting landscape angles. It also serves as a great tabletop tripod for close up product images. This tripod is small and lightweight enough to carry in my camera bag and compliments the other tripods I have in my collection.

Sturdy, easy to use, lots of nice features for the price. Be advised — if you want to use an accessory with a 1/4-inch socket, such as a microphone, web cam, or flash, you’ll need an adapter or a head. The screw at the top of the tripod is 3/8-inch.

Excellent tripod. Very rigid! I have been using it for lower camera angles with my focus rail. Will it use for low camera angle time lapse photos. Very pleased with this purchase. It is useable and stable with the tripod legs spread flat.

This black, sturdy mini tripod is adept at facilitating shots from a prone position or capturing those creative low camera angles with precision and ease.
Constructed with SLIK's exclusive AMT super titanium alloy legs, the PRO 500 DX offers an exceptional 40% greater strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard aluminum tripods. This means you get the durability and stability of a heavy-duty tripod without the cumbersome weight, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go photography. The lightweight design does not compromise on capacity, as it can comfortably support up to 15.4 lbs of equipment, accommodating professional full-frame DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with substantial lenses.
The versatility of the PRO 500 DX is further enhanced by its variable height range, which extends from a nearly flat 3.25 inches to a maximum of 16.25 inches when the legs are fully splayed. This flexibility is perfect for low-angle shots, macro photography, or time-lapse sequences requiring a stable, low vantage point.
Ease of use is a key feature of this tripod, with secure, speed-release leg locks that make setup and breakdown quick and effortless. The tripod also boasts 3-position, adjustable angle leg locks, which allow for stable positioning on uneven terrain, rocks, or steps.
