Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently discovered that I had lost my original Slik Mini Pro ball-head tripod, which I had owned for over 10 years. Looking for a replacement, I found this updated version: the Slik Mini Pro III (which is the same tripod but with an updated ball head). This little tripod is one of the most versatile pieces of camera equipment I own (besides my cameras).
For a tripod, it's compact size gives it a huge advantage. I never take my larger tripod on vacations, because it's much too bulky. On the other hand, I take my Slik Mini everywhere, as it's small enough to fit in my backpack, luggage, and even my jacket pocket. I've taken it to multiple continents on multiple trips, and it has never failed me. A very sturdy tripod, with expandable legs and a raisable center column, it's the best compromise I have found for stability, portability, convenience, and size in a tripod.
