Slik Sprint Mini Tripod with a Ball Head & Tripod Case, Black Color
The Sprint Mini is very versatile – the legs can fully retract and the center column can be reversed to enable the camera to shoot close to the ground.
Quality is top-notch on all accounts. Less than 2 lbs makes this one of the best tripods for backpacking.
When fully extended, the tripod is a little shorter than standard height. A sacrifice I am more than willing to overlook.
Rating: 5 / 5
A tripod this small and light is a bundle of compromises. Overall, the Slik Sprint Mini delivers a decent level of performance, versatility and stability in a small package. The quality is high – not Gitzo high, but the leg mechanism and locks work smoothly – in contrast to a couple of cheaper generic brand mini-tripods I’ve used without much success. But it is very light, which is both a pro and a con. For hiking, it hits its sweet spot – better than a monopod for macro and moving water, and light enough include on any hike. A larger, more sturdy tripod would be preferable in the field, but isn’t of much use left in the trunk of the car.

At this price point, this product exceeded my expectations.
Extends to a good height given its wieght and small size when collapsed.
Very easy to use. I used it extensively with small digital cameras, but it also worked pretty well with my large astronomical binoculars – which weight a little more than the recommended max weight for use with this tri-pod.
Folds down very small, and is easy to carry.
Perfect for the amatuer photographer or holidaymaker.

I like it. Holds my Rebel XT with a 28-136 lens on it with no problem. Small. Just remember it is fairly short. Check the height. It is very light, however.

I bought this tripod with the express purpose of having a second, smaller unit to compliment a larger tripod. I replaced the stock ball head with a nicer mid-priced head and a Giottos MH-652 plate. This works very well with the Canon G9 I use on trips. After using it daily for about three weeks on a road trip I’m very satisfied. It packs well in a bag or under the back seat of the SUV. The 43-inch height works in most situations. Very glad I got this model.
