When you are shooting from a table top or need a camera support for capturing close-ups or macro images, the Slik MINI Tripod is the solution. Improving on its predecessor, the MINI includes Slik Speed-Release leg locks which are faster and easier to operate than traditional twist-lock legs and a built-in bubble level for help in precision positioning of the camera. Legs extend approximately 1.5&quot (38.1mm) to give the camera more stability and it reaches a maximum height of 8.66&quot (220mm) when the center column and legs are fully extended.

Just 8&quot (204mm) when completely collapsed and weighing less than a pound, the MINI II is easy to carry in a gear bag, backpack or suitcase. It comes with a 2-way panhead that has independent pan and tilt locks which let you tilt your camera and lock its position while panning or vice versa. The panhead is great for making videos with a compact digital camera or for following a moving subject.

A handy suction cup is connected to the bottom of the center column so you can temporarily affix the MINI II to glass or other very smooth polished surfaces.

Note: Maximum weight supported by the suction cup is 7 oz. (198 g), the weight of a typical compact digital camera. Never take your hands too far away from the MINI II when adhering it to a window.
