Small tripod recommendation
Hi All - can anyone recommend a small 'table-top' type tripod that I can use with my Sony VG20 to get some nice detail closeups?
I have a couple of cheap ones that came as freebies with various purchase but none of them are study enough (The VG20 is small but hefty with the kit lens) Pete |

Re: Small tripod recommendation
Hi Pete
Unless you have unlimited cash (which I don't have) take a look at the Weifeng range..I have had my two for 3 years now and they are still good...theirs are mainly bowl units and I know they make some really professional low level units too!! They do have a website too with all the dimensions displayed Chris |

Re: Small tripod recommendation
Thx Chris for that "Weifeng" tip! They are very cheap...I use a light and very simple hama tripod for my second unmanned camera (to hold my handycam) and was looking for a replacement as the tripod head on that hama is awefull. Normally I just set them up and let them roll but sometimes I need to reframe a bit during a recording and I"m not able to do that smoothly.
Will check out their site. |

Re: Small tripod recommendation
Agree with Chris, cannot recommend Weifeng enough (also goes under the brand Fancier). Heres a video I did after buying a few of their heads. I have since bought a full tripod with bowl mount etc. Great for the price!

Re: Small tripod recommendation
Can't seem to find their website - any ideas about a UK supplier?

Hi Pete
http://en.weifengchina.com/ You can find them mostly on eBay but the site will at least give you model numbers Chris |

Re: Small tripod recommendation
Wow - don't think I've ever heard of a tripod called 'Glorious' before :)
