SMALLRIG AP-10-4060 52" carbon fibre tripod 12 kg load
Product description
This carbon fibre travel tripod from SmallRig converts between a stable tripod and a handy monopod for on-the-go photography, offering strong support for DSLRs and video rigs while staying light enough for travel. It suits photographers and vloggers who need a compact support that reaches up to 52.4 inches and handles heavier camera setups while keeping pack weight low.
Key Points
Weighing approximately 2.6 lb and folding down to about 21.3 inches, this tripod is deliberately compact for hiking and travel while still supporting heavier kit. The 3-position leg angle system and quick flip-locks allow fast set-up on uneven ground or in tight spaces, and the detachable ball head rotates 360 degrees and tilts 90 degrees for horizontal and vertical framing. Consider that the centre column is not included and the foot spikes are replaceable, which may affect certain shooting situations.

Benefits
The carbon fibre construction combines low weight with corrosion and abrasion resistance, so the tripod remains durable on outdoor assignments. The 2-in-1 tripod and monopod function reduces the kit you carry, allowing rapid transition between stable shots and mobile support. The additional 1/4-inch threaded mounting points on the bracket increase compatibility with accessories such as magic arms, monitors and LED lights, giving more options when building a compact rig.
Practical Tips
Use the quick-adjust wrench and the three leg angle positions to get the camera low to the ground for creative perspectives or to level up on rocky terrain. The detachable ball head can be swapped for a fluid head when smoother pans are needed for video work. Pack the supplied carry bag to protect the finish during transport and carry the tripod as a walking stick on long shoots if required.
