itzeddy Posted September 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just want to share in the forum I have been searching for a pocket tripod for years and I think I have found it. it is just a Manfrotto pcoket tripod + a mini Z-bracket I can easily do portrait shot as well. It has all the function as a ball-head but without the size and other tripod limitation Cheer Welcome, dear visitor!

Gelatino Posted September 24, 2019 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2019 Found on the web different items with weight sup. to 350/400gr which is excessive for that type of device IMO, and few with quick knob as shown by OP. I personnally own the Manfrotto pocket tripod and use it as table tripod or ground support, the Z bracket would be useful for portrait setting. Welcome, dear visitor!

Simone_DF Posted September 24, 2019 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm using the RRS TFA-01 Ultra with the BH-25 head. Small, fits in my back pocket, but sturdy. Works great even with heavy lenses. I've tried it with a 70-200mm and it worked fine https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/Pocket-Pod-Packages?quantity=1&custcol34=3 Welcome, dear visitor!

lucerne Posted September 24, 2019 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Simone. Looks great, but Yours is 6 times the price of the Manfrotto and the adjustable bracket. Edited September 24, 2019 by lucerne 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matlock Posted September 24, 2019 Share #9 Posted September 24, 2019 It would seem that the Manfrotto has been discontinued but is still available at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatino Posted September 24, 2019 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2019 #1 The pocket tripod weights less than 80gr and costs less than 20euro (15 at the moment). # 2 With a ball head , the camera in portrait position the gravity line is veered on the side, not with a L(or Z)-bracket #3 With the pocket tripod the camera is only 4cm above the ground (in landscape position) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted September 25, 2019 Share #20 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Just a word of caution. Depending upon the location of the camera's tripod mount, we might find that in portrait (vertical) orientation the camera and table-pod interfere. That is why I have chosen to use the taller Leitz table-pod head. I do not see a model number on it, except for a D stamp, and it has the automatic 3/8" and 1/4" adapter sockets at each end. (The default sockets are 1/4" to the tripod and 3/8" to the camera however they couple transparently regardless. Quite clever.)
