I wanted this to hold my LabRadar chronograph and their branded one was very expensive and priced in $US. This one works perfectly and is very sturdy. It holds the chronograph unit perfectly and it has no tendency to tip. The legs do extend slightly (if you need that) but I was impressed with its stability and quality. It was an excellent choice.

This is what I have been needing for a while since I started hitting the gun range. My spotting scope has a full-sized tripod that just seems to get in the way of my feet. and having to move it into place to check down range was just a pain at times.so I started looking for something compact. came across this one and from the description it was more of what I was looking for with a max height of slightly less than ten inches I knew it would work out got it mounted the scope and it was a perfect fit. no more hassle moving it around to check my shots. It holds the scope securely and the plastic parts are of a decent quality material. As the legs are short and metal my scope is not heavy it's 2.4lb the tripod has a max supporting weight of 5.5 lbs. I don't know about that, but it is well-built, and it just may hold its claims. Overall, I feel it's a good tripod I don't toss my items around in a pile and hope they don't get damaged. Everything has a place whenever I'm done using it so this item will be put back into my range bag and stored in a safe location away from falls and accidental kicks. I believe this will last a good long while with regular use. "Happy Shopping Guys"

Soporta perfectamente una reflex con un 24-70. Pequeño pero matón. Cumple las espectativas para hacer fotos desde el suelo o sobre una mesa.

Talk about the little Tripod that could. I've had great use of it for table top photography. It's rock solid and supports my favorite new Bridge camera the Panny FZ200 with ease and at any angle.I have a bunch of Tripods ranging from Amazon basics to some very heavy Tripods by ravelli and a few other brands most all of which have been Amazon purchases.I'll caveat this review by making it clear I'm not a pro, just an enthusiast of still photography and Video. Because I do a good deal of table top photography and my tripods are your standard 62-72 inch floor standing models, I can't get close enough to my subject on my work area which is just an infinity background, a bunch of 5/K lighting diffusers and bounce cards.And so the search for a compact, solid Tripod began. The reviews of the Vanguard won me over and here's what I like about it.* Extendable legs with a wide spread make for ideal balance. Like a linebacker or one of our bulldogs the tripod was well designed to disperse weight with a low center of gravity.* Excellent Build quality, nice textured rubber feet for added stability* Easy to adjust* Quality carrying case is always a nice touchWhat's not so great:* Tricky head isn't smooth, I didn't expect a fluid head but this ones a bit sub par* My fault for not double checking minimum height. But the tripod stands to high. If you need to be 1 cm away from your subject and you're on a level playing ground you'll be better off with a book or two to rest your camera on.* The fixed plate is a pain, no question about it. Not a deal breaker but even the cheap quality Pods have a universal quick release plate.* Pivot is restrictive and cumbersome if I need to switch to Portrait and flop my camera on it's side instead of an easy glide you have to fiddle and fuss with it and still the end result isn't ideal.However, despite it's draw backs, if it fits the bill and excels in performance where you need it most you'll be hard pressed to beat this Tripod at the price it's being offered.Highly Recommenced

I seldom get that excited over a device unless it's really awesome. I haven't seen the ones that are twice the price of this table top tripod, but I do know that this one really impresses me. I wanted something that would not tip over like those cheapy ones that always come with an item. When I took it out of the box, I felt like I had a solid tripod in hand and I did! It's very sturdy and the up and down pan, including the side to side pan work more smoothly that my floor tripod does. I am holding a triple mount on it at the moment that is VERY top heavy off to one side. I have a small camera but a heavy 5" field monitor that is mounted up high and way out to the side-I could not even get it to stand on any other tripod I had. This one holds it firm and secure. I am very happy!Build quality is also of interest to me and I think this Vanguard VS-82 Table Top Digital Tripod has great "build quality". I feel comfortable in recommending it to anyone who wants a secure and strong tripod for their table top. The price is nice too, but I would buy this regardless for I am just smitten over it. That's how well I think it's built!

This is an excellent tripod that weighs just under a pound and seems extremely stable when its legs are fully stretched out. It appears very well built and seems strong enough for most nonprofessional dSLR cameras. It is not as small as some portable tripods but seems sturdier. I bought it mainly for travel but found many other uses including for it.1. Macro work using macro instrument. It’s strong enough and stable enough for the camera support and camera.2. Binoculars or telescope if it has the tripod connection3. Flash stand4. Camera or camcorder of course.There may be better small tripods out there but this one seems like a good functional tripod at a very reasonable price.What I like about it.1. It has most of the functions you expect in a tripod.2. it’s extremely stable3. When stretched out fully the feet lay flat adding stability4. Weighs under a pound.5. Less than one foot long and less than 3 inches wide so it takes less space in your bag6. Very strong. Pushing down on dSLR with zoom lens attached, it doesn't give at all.7. Easy to setup and adjust8. Very reasonably pricedHere are a few disadvantages1. A little bulky, does take up more space than similar tripods2. Very limited height adjustment3. No tripod bag includedConsidering all the advantages and disadvantages this looks like a very good small tripod that should be great for travel and holding any camera from a subcompact camera to medium weight dSLR with zoom lens where there no room for a large or heavy tripod.
