Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video What is a micro tripod?, part of Video Gear: Support & Grip.
Hi.…My name's Rich Harrington.…>> And I'm Robbie Carmen.…>> And on this week's episode, we're going to talk all about mini-tripods.…Now, we've got a wide collection of devices here.…A lot of manufacturers make these.…We've got some here from joby.…And, whatta you got there?…>> I got a joby that's pretty beefy, heavy duty one.…And these, our guys are going to come in different sizes.…Yeah.…Here's even a bigger one with a ball head on it.…And then you've got a really small tiny…one that's perfect for something like a phone.…>> Yeah.…>> And the cool thing about these mini-tripods…is that unlike sort of traditional, rigid legs on…the tripod, the beauty about these small, sort…of, ones like this is that they're bendable and…flexible, so not only can you use it as a traditional tripod, but you can also do…things like hang the unit from up high…or around a tree branch or something like that.…
>> Yeah, you can actually wrap these around…things, so you can go around a pole.…And you get that pretty tight, you know.…
