Product Description
Small and light are what this tripod is all about. The SLIK MINI is an excellent and affordable table-top tripod. It has a maximum height of 8.5 inches. The MINI PRO-III uses a newly designed all metal compact ball head that is also used on the SPRINT and SPRINT PRO tripods.
Perfect for positioning and holding a compact digital or film camera for those group photos where a self-timer is used.

Guys, I shoot all the time and all the time I shoot. I love the street and most of it when the night comes with all its sparkling lights and colors. Finally, with the Slik Mini-Pro, I am able to shoot the most unique photos in most complex and restricted places. Sure, if at least the Pro camera is allowed to be used and I use Nikon D200. I have no worries of taken the Slik Mini with me and highly recommend it to every beginner, advancer and pro. It can be used with the external flash as well due to the standard size bolt. Love it! Use it! Recommend it! Getting few more for self and presents! PS..I have JOBY Pro for $60 as well, but when it comes to solid stand still need, it is only Slik Pro! [s.alexander, miami, fl]

I recently discovered that I had lost my original Slik Mini Pro ball-head tripod, which I had owned for over 10 years. Looking for a replacement, I found this updated version: the Slik Mini Pro III (which is the same tripod but with an updated ball head). This little tripod is one of the most versatile pieces of camera equipment I own (besides my cameras).
For a tripod, it’s compact size gives it a huge advantage. I never take my larger tripod on vacations, because it’s much too bulky. On the other hand, I take my Slik Mini everywhere, as it’s small enough to fit in my backpack, luggage, and even my jacket pocket. I’ve taken it to multiple continents on multiple trips, and it has never failed me. A very sturdy tripod, with expandable legs and a raisable center column, it’s the best compromise I have found for stability, portability, convenience, and size in a tripod.

This is a great little tripod. Small enough to be carried in my camera bag and versatile enough to be used in a variety of situations. I have a Canon SX10IS, which is about the size of a dslr. The small tripod that I had previously was not able to give proper support because the legs did not extend out far enough. The camera would tip over when on the tripod. This is not a problem with this tripod. The camera is very secure. The instructions that come with the tripod explain how to use it by bracing it against your chest. I have tried this several times and it is very effective. In low light situations, for example, using the tripod in this way makes the camera much more stable so there is less likelihood of blurring due to camera shake with low shutter speeds.

Finally a tripod that will hold a heavy camera, is steady on a flat surface and is easy to use as well as setup. I recommend this one as first class all the way.

I am very happy with this product. Even better than I expected. It is very solid and should support almost any camera thanks to its wide legs. And though I have not yet used it as a tripod with legs braced against my chest, I have practiced this and am confident the camera will be much steadier than if I were to hold the view finder to my eye in the normal manner. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a table-top tripod.
