About this model

I wanted something lighter, smaller and more stable than the standard mini tripod found on ebay from China. And it should be sturdy enough to hold a Sony A6000 ! From the design of PHolzwarth, I finished with this remix composed of a very flat (once folded) tripod coupled to a rotula head that can be clipped and screwed in place on the tripod... The rotula includes a Withworth standard photo screw whose rigidity is obtained after screwing inside a piece of M3 threaded rod. Another piece of threaded rod is used to link the 3 feet together. A standard 25mm M3 bolt is used to set the rotula in place. Obviously it allows a full rotation of the camera between landscape and portrait modes. The weight is lower than 45 grams... ready for the trecks ;-)
