The Freewell Vlogpod is a tabletop mini-tripod that has three strong but flexible legs. The idea is that as well as popping it on a table, the legs can be wrapped around posts, poles, branches – or any other similar object that may be to hand – to shoot from an elevated height.
As the 'Vlogpod' name suggests, Freewell is aiming it at vloggers, but it's equally as useful to photographers who need a light and portable support without carting around a bigger travel tripod. Indeed, it has a nicely designed ball head topped by a camera mount that converts to a smartphone cradle, so is in the running to be both one of the best mini tripods, and iPhone tripods and smartphone supports. Let's see how it stands up to the competition.
