The ShearPod Compact Tripod from Magnus is compact, portable tripod designed to support smaller photographic devices with a maximum weight of 1.1 lb (0.5 kg). Its swivel-leg design allows it fold flat for convenient transport and storage but open easily for quick setup. With its legs locked in place by the locking lever, it rests sturdily on a table top or almost any surface, offering a maximum height of 3.3" (8.4 cm). By angling the mounting head, the ShearPod can be used on uneven surfaces without toppling over. SureGrip rubber feet provide stability and a 1/4"-20 mounting thread accepts most compact cameras. Weighing just 2.2 oz (62 g) and with its scissor-like, super slim design, it can be carried easily, even in shirt or pants pockets.
