This sturdy mini tripod comes supplied with a 2-way pan head with a pan handle to make moving a camera mounted on the tripod easier. As a compact traveler tripod, 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, this model has a suction cup at the base of the center column which will allow the tripod to be "stuck" onto a window or smooth metal surface for picture taking. The Mini Pro V can also be used as a chest-pod by raising the center column half way or more and placing the legs against your chest to stabilize the camera.
