    Product Description

    When retracted and closed, the SLIK MINI series tripods are about the size of standard telephoto lens, meaning they can be carried in your camera bag all the time so tripod support is always at hand! Besides its traditional use as a tripod, the SLIK MINI PRO III has another great feature, the ability to use the tripod as a "Chest-Pod" camera support. To use it as a chest-pod, first loosen the locking collar around the center column, pull out (raise) the center column at least one inch and tighten. Then, with the legs spread, place the feet of the legs against your upper chest. Loosen the tripod head and position the camera so you can see through the viewfinder comfortably. This will better stabilize the camera and help avoid image degrading camera shake.

    Max. Operating Height: 10"

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the camera tripod. For example, they mention it works well for their purpose, is an excellent little tool, and every control and adjustment works smoothly. The tripod is well-made, sturdy, and holds a ton of weight. It allows them to have the scope very low, so that they can alternate between rifle and spotting. It is a good price and is able to hold a lot of weight, making it a great option for table-top use.

    On the hunt for the perfect tripod . . . .

    On the hunt for the perfect tripod . . . .
    Let me first off state that I am a shooter, and the sole purpose for any tripod I purchase is for my Spotting Scope. I currently use an 82mm Nikon Prostaff 20-60x Scope, which is a tad on the heavy side, and definitely a chore for smaller tripods. When I purchase a tripod, I am not looking for one that stands as tall as me. I want a small one that I can use from the sitting or (preferably) the prone position. I have had a few other tripods that worked good from a bench, but were too tall to use while laying prone.Now that you have the backstory, I bet you are ready to read a review on this thing!My first impressions were 1) It was quite light and 2) it seemed to be very sturdily built. No loose fitting parts, no rattling; a very solid little piece. So onto the bread and butter: Does it work with my scope? If you have not already seen the pictures I posted along with this item, it absolutely works. I was actually very skeptical when I got it out of the box, because it is literally SMALL. You do have to play with the leg position under the scope, but that is to be expected. It is also short enough that, while laying prone, I can use my scope with no change in my body position. It is at the perfect comfortable height, for me anyways.Now to get fancy! The last two pictures I uploaded show that this little gem is also capable of holding that giant scope in the SIDEWAYS position! Incredible! I set this up next to my rifle, and I can simple look over into the scope next to me to check targets.Now she is not perfect, but dang close in my opinion. The description reads "2 way Pan/Tilt Head". I am not a camera guy, I know nothing about tripods and the like. But I read that as the Panhead will "tilt" 90 degrees in one direction. This is not the case at all. You actually have to turn the head sideways, and by doing this, you are going to lose your vertical adjustment on the scope (unless you tilt the scope up or down on the mounting screw). This was heartbreaking for me!Negative #2, again for me, is that there is no fine adjustment of the scope directions. its all controlled on the panhead, but then again, that is the nature of these tripods (as far as I know). I previously was using an Alpen Micro Adjustable Table Top Tripod, which had the fine adjustments for vertical and horizontal, but it sits too high to be comfortable unless you actually lean over the bench. But for the sake of comfort, I negate this as a negative, just worth noting for you readers out there.All in all, I wanted to give it 4 stars for the -1 listed above, but in retrospect, it does 98% of what I ever wanted a tripod to do. On top of that, other tripods that do everything I want are well over $100-$200. At the time of this review, this gem costed $30. I give the point back for value. The Alpen is on the shelf in the closet and the Slik is in my range bag. She isn't totally perfect, but dang its close!
