SmallRig 5473 Video Tripod — Collapses to 49cm yet Extends to a 160cm Working Height
The SmallRig 5473 Video Tripod serves photographers, videographers, and live streamers who need a compact, portable support that still reaches a useful working height. It features a top 1/4"-20 screw for mounting cameras or accessories, and an additional 1/4"-20 screw at the head base to attach compatible photography equipment.
Designed for on-the-go shooting
The tripod extends to a maximum working height of 160cm, giving you flexibility for a range of shooting angles and setups. When you finish, it collapses to a compact 49cm for easy transport. In addition, it weighs 718g, which helps keep your kit light when you move between locations.
Build, load capacity and leveling
SmallRig constructed the legs from aluminum alloy for durability while keeping the overall weight manageable. The legs support payloads up to 3kg, and the included head can handle loads up to 1kg. Furthermore, the built-in bubble level helps you achieve precise leveling across different shooting scenarios.
Versatility for cameras, phones and accessories
The tripod includes a built-in phone clamp, which increases its versatility for live streaming and vlogging. You can mount smartphones, action cameras, or mirrorless cameras directly, and you can expand with accessories using the top 1/4"-20 screw.
