Reviews & Ratings for Nikon Compact Outdoor Tripod — 2 reviews — Page 1

For the price, this is a well built, good quality tripod. The only con is the ball head top which is what caused me to return it. When using my spotting scope, no matter how hard I tighten it, it still droops down from the point at which it was when I tightened it. Yes, I guess you could aim high when tightening it and hope it droops down to what you want to look at. I don’t
have the time for that. I think a pan head is better for optics use. Perhaps if using for a iPhone, it would be ok.

I purchased this tripod recently and just received it after about 27 days. This was actually right on point because with the delays due to Covid 19 they estimated delivery in 21-28 days at the time of purchase. Initially, I inspected the tripod and it arrived solid and in one piece. The build feels sturdy and the parts look like they are quality materials like aluminum and heavy duty polymer/plastic. I will primarily use this tripod in high country with binoculars and possible my spotting scope. I was very happy with the weight being light in relation to the sturdiness. My first use was in light wind up of 10-15 miles per hour and it performed well. It's variable height makes for a good amount of adjustment with my usage. The ball head is new to me and works well. I wish they made this model with a pan head or exchangeable for a pan head. Overall, I'm looking forward to using it for years in the future.
