Rode Tripod 2

I was surprised how stable it felt even with my heavier mic mounted—the three-position lock really holds tight. Perfect for quick handheld shots when you fold the legs in, no wobble at all.

Took this on a shoot yesterday and used it handheld in the closed position for smooth low-angle shots. The build feels solid enough to trust with my heavier microphone setup, and the three locking positions really come in handy for quick adjustments.

The three closed positions make handheld recording feel natural and stable, and the legs lock securely in place without any wiggle. Works perfectly for my compact microphone setup.
