Tripod Walimex 16956 Universal 3 legs Black Max weight 2.5 kg

The Walimex Lamp Tripod is a compact, lightweight three-leg support designed for small lamps, flashes and compact lighting units. With a height range from 26 cm to 40 cm and a maximum load capacity of 2.5 kg, this tripod allows stable low-angle lighting including lighting from below. Its middle spider and rubber feet increase stability and slip resistance while the short carrying length and 280 g weight make it easy to store in a photo bag or studio drawer.

Advantages

The tripod's compact dimensions and low minimum height enable lighting positions that larger tripods cannot achieve, such as effective underlighting. A middle spider provides structural stability and the rubber feet prevent slipping on smooth surfaces. Its 2.5 kg maximum load supports small lamps and flashes, and the lightweight design and small carrying length make it highly portable.

Suitable for

• Small studio lamps and LED panels
• Compact flashes and speedlights
• Tabletop product photography with low-angle lighting
• On-location shoots requiring a portable lighting stand

How to use

Extend or retract the tripod legs to set a working height between 26 cm and 40 cm, then place the tripod on a level surface. Attach a suitable lamp or flash within the 2.5 kg load limit to the mounting stud or adapter. Position the lamp for the desired low-angle illumination and adjust the lamp head as needed. Ensure the middle spider is fully seated and the rubber feet contact the floor to maintain stability.

Recommendations

For safe operation, do not exceed the 2.5 kg maximum load. Use on flat, stable surfaces and avoid placing heavy equipment on the tripod. When transporting, collapse the legs to their carrying length and secure the lamp separately to prevent strain on the mount.
