Aukey’s latest product is a travel tripod with a range of impressive features. The sturdy stand is lightweight, coming in around 3.5 pounds. And yet, its aluminum alloy body can support the weight of a DSLR camera with a lens.

The company seemingly thought of everything the professional or hobby photographer might need in a tripod. There’s the 360-degree ball head that allows for smooth and precise rotation. It’s also easy to switch between cameras with the two quick release plates.

The legs are extendable, with four sections that make for easy stowing. The tripod can reach a max height of 5.61 feet or compact down to 9.84 inches quickly and with ease, thanks to the twist-lock leg section extension collars. The tripod can be set at angles of 20, 50 and 80 degrees, and it can be converted into a monopod. The legs have ground spikes, too, if you need to stab it into the earth.

The tripod is designed for travel, and Aukey provided an on-the-go kit for stowing, which includes all necessary parts and accessories packed into a convenient bag.

Aukey offers a 45-day money back guarantee and a 24-month product replacement warranty card with the tripod.
