This little size tripod was designed to hold any compact digital camera or other photography accessories. With its small size and light weight it is easy to carry in even small pockets. The non-slip silicon material tripod base provides a good grip and stability even on a rough surface. The metal ball joist can be turned at about 30 degree in all directions and can also be swiveled 360 degree. To stabilize the joist, simply turn the knob until the joist is tightened.
