Love this tripod, it's very easy to set up and take down before and after use. Perfect height. Read more
As a content creator who is often on the move, I was looking for a tripod that was lightweight and compact without sacrificing too much functionality. The SmallRig PT-30 caught my eye, and after putting it to use, I've found it's an excellent travel companion, though not without a minor compromise. The Best Features: Portability and Adjustability The standout feature here is undoubtedly its design. The reverse-folding mechanism is brilliant, allowing the tripod to shrink down to a mere 16.5 inches, which fits easily into my backpack. At just over 700g, it's so lightweight you barely notice you're carrying it. This is the "take it anywhere" tripod I was hoping for. The versatility is another major plus. It comes with everything you need to get started: a solid phone clamp and even a Bluetooth remote. The standard 1/4"-20 screw means I can also mount my small camera or a light, making it a true "one for all" tool. Adjusting the height is a breeze, extending all the way up to 67 inches, and the ability to change the angle of each of the three legs individually is great for setting up on uneven surfaces. The Catch: Weight vs. Stability Here is the trade-off that comes with such a lightweight design. While the aluminum alloy construction feels durable and rust-resistant, the tripod's lack of heft means it doesn't feel as solidly planted as heavier models. It holds my phone securely, and for indoor use, selfies, or vlogging in calm conditions, it's perfectly fine. However, I would be a bit hesitant to use it in windy conditions with a camera, as it doesn't have the mass to feel completely unshakeable. It feels secure, but not "leave it and walk away without a worry" secure. Final Thoughts Overall, I am satisfied with the SmallRig PT-30. It accomplishes its main goal of being an ultra-portable and highly adjustable tripod for creators. For anyone who needs a solution for vlogging, selfies, and live streaming on the go, this is a fantastic option. Just be aware that its greatest strength—its light weight—is also what creates its only minor weakness. It's a great product, but a little more material to weigh it down could have made it perfect.

Pros: -Very lightweight and easily portable -The legs have several locking positions, providing more options for “lower angle” shots -Small enough to put in smaller spaces like our podcast room, or more discreet/difficult to reach spots Cons: -Can’t twist the middle rod, so if I need to rotate the camera I have to rotate the entire tripod itself -Not super rugged, pretty cheap material that may break easily Overall, it’s a neat tool. I think it will be good for filming social media videos and podcasts, particularly because it is so small and lightweight. The fact that the middle rod does not rotate causes quite a bit of inconvenience if you need to adjust the camera rotation. Read more
