Velbon EX Series EX-mini Tripod with 2-Way Pan & Tilt Head, Black

Compact and lightweight, the Velbon EX-mini is the perfect travel companion for photographers who need a stable platform for their compact camera, mirrorless system, or smartphone. Whether you're capturing landscapes from a low angle, shooting macro details, or vlogging on the go, this mini tripod sets up in seconds and folds down to just 255 mm, fitting easily into a small bag or even a large pocket. The integrated 2-way pan and tilt head offers smooth 360° panning and a tilt range of +90° to -60°, giving you precise control over framing. The quick release plate (Velbon QB-32) lets you attach and remove your camera instantly, while the geared center column allows fine height adjustments without repositioning the legs. With flip locks on the two-section aluminum legs, you can extend the tripod from a minimum height of 203 mm up to 495 mm in moments. Despite its small size, it supports up to 1.5 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of lightweight gear. Rubber feet provide a secure grip on various surfaces, from tabletops to rocky terrain. The black finish is both stylish and durable, and the plastic head components keep the overall weight down without sacrificing stability. Ideal for travel, tabletop product shots, and low-angle photography, the EX-mini is a versatile tool for any content creator.
