15 best tripods

A tripod that does not have a large set of functions, but will please with the price and simplicity of design. He weighs only 1.34 kg. The device is light and durable, so it is suitable for outdoor filming enthusiasts. The height at which the camera will be located: from 61 to 170 cm. The lifting mechanism and three sliding sections allow you to smoothly change the height of the tripod. The tripod has a built-in level for the correct installation of the camera in a horizontal position.

You can hang a bag for a video camera on the bar - there is a separate hook for this. The tripod can support a camera weighing 4kg, which is quite an impressive weight, so don't be afraid that the tripod will break. Comes with a 3D head for pointing the camera. It rotates regardless of the position of the camera, capable of taking panoramic shots. A case is also included with the device. A separate advantage of the model is the price. It is quite low, but the quality of the model is optimal. For those who are just starting to master shooting and do not want to overpay, this tripod is what you need.

Leofoto has been around for less than ten years. However, in such a short time, she still managed to create several tripods that became hits among professional photographers.For example, a model called Leofoto LN-404C should appeal to everyone involved in studio shooting. The fact is that it is able to provide the camera with a 191-centimeter height! And the weight of the equipment is absolutely not important to the accessory - the manufacturer declared a 50-kilogram load. Another important feature of the product is the ability to shoot low objects - if necessary, the camera can be lowered to a height of 11 cm.

The tripod is not light. It was not created for travelers, so the scales below it show quite decent 3.4 kg. If you need to keep your camera as still as possible, you can use the bottom hook for the bag. There is also a bubble level. To find fault with a tripod, almost entirely made of carbon fiber, is possible only about the fabulous price. And for this money you don't even get a tripod head - you have to buy it separately.

Silver takes Chinese tripod with excellent performance. It is quite stable and made simply - it has a minimum of moving parts. Mounts - two clips that are easy to open and close. Therefore, it is convenient for on-site assembly and disassembly, and the minimum number of “weak points” makes the structure more stable. You can raise the camera to a maximum of 146 centimeters on this tripod. At the same time, it folds up to 57 centimeters and weighs 1.46 kilograms.

It can hold equipment weighing up to 3 kilograms. At the same time, it has a 3D head, which allows you to shoot at any angle without unnecessary rearrangements of the camera and tripod. There is a convenient lifting mechanism.I'm not happy that the handle is located under the left hand, and some buyers in the reviews indicated that it was inconvenient for them. But the movement of the head is quite smooth compared to other models of this price category. So you can call a tripod quite a good purchase for amateurs. The kit comes with a cover.

This model is ready to boast of good workmanship for its price. Reviews show that the product is ready to serve for several years without a single breakdown. And the tripod turned out to be far from the heaviest - the use of aluminum made it possible to reduce the weight to 1.66 kg. As for the design, it can be called familiar - the accessory consists of three sections held in the folded position with plastic clips. I am glad that the manufacturer supplied his creation with a bubble level - this should prevent the photographer or cameraman from filling up the horizon.

You can shoot with such a tripod at a height of 69 to 185 cm. Since the product itself turned out to be light, at some points a bag hook will come in handy - it is he who should ensure the camera is completely immobile. By the way, the maximum tripod can withstand only a four-kilogram load. It comes with a head with a replaceable platform. It cannot be called ideal, but it will definitely suit an amateur.

This tripod was created for those who shoot on fairly light equipment. The fact is that its ball head is capable of suddenly tipping over under the weight of some kind of SLR camera. Ideally, you need to attach a smartphone to the accessory. But for this you will have to find an appropriate frame, since the tripod itself offers only the usual screw. I am glad that the weight of the product is only 125 g. When folded, its length does not exceed 15 cm. This means that the accessory can easily fit in a backpack or even the inside pocket of a winter jacket.

Using a tripod is as simple as possible. First you need to expand the required number of sections, as a result of which the shooting height will be from 14 to 26 cm. Then, using a tripod screw, a compact camera or video camera is screwed. After that, it remains only to tighten the position of the site with the equipment in the desired position. On the surface, the product stands with the help of rubber supports, so you don’t have to worry about its safety.

A curious mini-tripod that can be placed without any problems even on uneven surfaces. It is not in vain that he received such an unusual name. The fact is that the accessory is made of ABS plastic, rubber and steel. This design provided him not only strength, but also flexibility. The legs used here are easy to bend. They can be placed on the table in the manner of a snake.And they can also wrap any object - for example, a tree branch or a doorknob. It is not surprising that such a tripod is often used by vloggers on their trips.

The length of the product when folded is 30 cm. Since there are no retractable sections here, the shooting height will be about the same. It should be noted that rubber affected the maximum load - the weight of the equipment should not exceed 0.5 kg. The tripod itself turned out to be 300 grams, so its presence is not felt at all in the backpack. A standard 1/4-inch tripod screw is used to mount the equipment. The holder for the smartphone is included, so you should not worry about this.

Externally, a reliable tripod for video cameras and cameras resembles classic tripods. The model has a central column, adjustable braces-amplifiers and two-section legs. A well-thought-out design meets high requirements, but comes at the expense of weight. Not everyone will decide to take an extra pound on vacation, but for home photo experiments, this is the best option. With the help of Velbon EX-Mini, the camera can be installed in any position, a tripod is convenient for macro photography. The minimum height is only 19 centimeters. Pleased with the maximum length for work - 41.7 centimeters, so you can use it as a floor for "low" angles.

The 2D head, at first glance, seems inconvenient, but among photographers there are fans of this particular camera position control system. Having aligned the horizontal once, the photographer can only adjust the position vertically.

A stable tripod is designed for semi-professional and amateur cameras, but there has been confusion about the weight that can be held. Most online resources indicate 2.5 kilograms, and on the box - 1.5.

Lightweight, compact, durable and stylish, this model ranks first in the ranking of the best tabletop tripods. From the use of the tripod, buyers have only positive emotions. It allows you to work with the camera at a height of 13.5 centimeters. Its maximum length when folded is 18.5 centimeters. Rounded legs allow you to use the model also as a handle for the camera when shooting "on hand".

The tripod weighs only 200 grams, but confidently withstands loads up to 1 kilogram. And this is not just a marketing ploy: Manfrotto PIXI Mini is suitable even for SLR cameras with compact lenses. It securely fixes the camera, stability is added by rubber pads of supports. Even a child will understand the clear adjustment system: to change the position, you only need to press one button.

But lovers of macro photography will not appreciate the purchase: it is impossible to lower the camera much vertically.

A wonderful accessory that can be useful to any professional videographer. It can be used even on some kind of hiking trip, since the weight of the entire structure does not exceed 2.15 kg. It may seem that such a light monopod will not withstand professional equipment. However, in practice it turns out that you can safely place a camera weighing up to 5 kg on it. I am glad that in field conditions the horizon will not be littered - to prevent this from happening, it is enough to pay attention to the built-in level.

This tripod-monopod is ready to provide shooting at a height of 72 to 182 cm. In total, it consists of four sections. The accessory comes with a convenient interchangeable head, which shows itself best during video shooting. Some will also appreciate the fact that both the most popular tripod screws are available here - both 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch diameter. It is also interesting that the support used here is easily removed, after which it can be used as a table tripod.

The floor tripod is designed for SLR and digital cameras with standard lenses up to 200mm. Supports device weight up to 3 kg. You can shoot from a height of up to 155 cm, or lower it to 41.5 cm.

Suitable for travel and work at various events, concerts, events and more. The model will please both beginners and professionals. The quality is confirmed by positive reviews and recommendations from satisfied customers.

A great choice for any vlogger. At first glance, it seems that this is an ordinary selfie monopod. But as soon as you take the accessory in your hand, its significantly greater possibilities immediately become clear! If the need arises, the action camera can be placed on the table. To do this, you just need to unscrew the handle - inside it you will find a miniature tripod.

Since the product consists of several sections connected to each other by means of hinges, the accessory can be bent in every possible way. This allows you to shoot yourself from a variety of angles. This is especially true when doing tricks. Also, this design contributes to convenient folding - as a result, the monopod does not take up much space during storage and transportation. And he is not afraid of water. Ideally, it should be paired with a GoPro. But with an inexpensive adapter, you can use an action camera from any other company. The only pity is that the monopod itself cannot be called affordable.

Budget monopod will interest beginners and professionals. A height of 171 centimeters is enough for a photographer of any height and when shooting from hard-to-reach angles. The tripod itself weighs 375 grams, while supporting 3 kg cameras. In the reviews, buyers note the highest speed of assembly and start of work, which can be important when shooting events or incidents.

The head is non-rotatable, so it is not suitable for selfies. But some photographers are looking for just such an option: due to the simplicity of the design, the camera is quickly installed on the site.

The tripod does not have a convenient folding foot under the leg, the dimensions are not compact, the plastic does not inspire confidence. But if you eliminate the shortcomings, the model will cost more. The Rekam RM-120 is the best in its price category and holds its own in the camera tripod rating.

If the vast majority of tripods are designed to place photo and video equipment on a flat surface, then the same cannot be said about the Falcon Eyes ST-015. This accessory is used to fix the device on various structural elements. In fact, it is a clamp. This means that the product uses a special screw that acts as a vise.As a result, the accessory can be tightened on a tree branch, pipe, crossbar and other objects. Also, a mini tripod comes to the rescue in a moving train car, when in any other case there would be a risk of dropping expensive equipment.

This model has only one drawback. It lies in the cheap plastic used to create the tripod. Yes, the accessory turned out to be very light due to this, the scales under it will show no more than 125 g. But because of this, the product is not ready to withstand any heavy camera. As a result, it is only suitable for use with a smartphone or action camera. Finally, we note one more curious feature. There are folding legs. Therefore, the usual placement on a flat and even surface is still possible.

The design resembles rather not a tripod, but a stand for the camera. Rekam M-50 is so compact that when folded it will fit in the pocket of a man's shirt or jeans. But wearing it in trousers is risky because of the untrustworthy design. According to customer reviews, the rubber pads on the legs fall off already when unpacking the goods.

There is no height adjustment, everything will have to be removed from the level of 16 centimeters. You can only change the angle along the vertical axis. The manufacturer indicates a load of up to 1 kilogram, but it does not hold heavy DSLRs well.

The design of the tripod allows you to shoot at a height of 10 to 16 centimeters. But only by changing the position of the camera vertically - the tripod itself has no adjustment. The budget model will be the best for owners of compact cameras to occasionally take pictures with their families.

This unusual model with flexible legs becomes the leader of our rating. This tripod can be mounted on almost any surface and in any position. A tree branch, a table, a steering wheel of a car, and in general everything that is enough for imagination will do. Legs bend at any angle: the camera can look down, up, straight - anywhere. Suitable for smartphones, GoPro cameras and action cameras, as well as for other lightweight models - three types of mounts are included.

The tripod is made of stainless steel, so it is very durable. It is also lightweight - it weighs only 75 g. The gadget practically does not take up space - it will even fit into a pocket or a ladies' clutch. The tripod is able to support a small camera or a smartphone weighing up to 500 grams: you should not count on it to hold large SLR cameras. The gadget is reliable and easy to manage. Plus a holder of an unusual shape, which will appeal to all lovers of interesting gizmos. To complete the kit, you should buy a tripod head.
