SLIK Mini Pro DQ 2-Section Table-Top Tripod - Black

The SLIK MINI PRO DQ uses the successful MINI PRO legs with an all-metal compact ball head that has a quick release plate to make attaching and detaching the camera from the tripod quick and simple. 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: 9" Min.
