The new SLIK MINI PRO V tabletop tripod has a 2-way pan head with a panhandle to make moving a camera easier. The two stage legs can be extended about 1.25 inches for added stability with heavier cameras.A compact traveler, the SLIK MINI PRO V is less than 8 inches long when packed up and weighs less than a pound. Like the other tripods in the MINI PRO line, the SLIK MINI PRO V has a suction cup at the base of the center column which will allow the tripod to be “stuck” on a wind…

March 9th, 2010 at 4:10 pmThe Slik Mini Pro Table-Top Tripod is all I expected and more. I can put it anywhere on any surface and the camera remains stable. Excellent for using the movie option my Canon LS590. This is the third Slik product I own and would never think of buying any other brand of tripod.

March 9th, 2010 at 6:42 pmThis little thing can handle a lot of weight for being so small. It will hold a Canon EOS 5D with 24-105 f/4L IS lens and 430EX flash steadily — in either vertical or horizontal orientation! (You have to mount the camera “sideways” on the base to do vertical shots.) This is a good 3 or 4 pounds of gear, and this much weight absolutely destroys my DSLR-sized Gorillapod. It is no problem for the little Slik, however. Due to weight distribution, this tripod probably will not work for much longer lenses, although if the lens is big enough to have a tripod mount, then it might work. I have been able to use it with my 70-200 f/4L IS both vertically and horizontally with a little care to set the legs at the right angles to provide support where it needs to be.
One other note: I have the “II” version of this tripod (the current version that Amazon sells is “V”), which I purchased used in 2002. It is still going strong! The “V” version looks just the same as mine, based on the Amazon photos.
