Teris TS1075AL Short Tripod, 75mm Bowl

A short tripod covers the range a full tripod cannot reach: 100 to 600 mm, from just off the floor to seated height. The TS1075AL does that on a 75 mm bowl with a 30 kg payload rating, so a mid-weight head and a documentary camera package sit on it without complaint.

Aluminum legs keep the price down and the stiffness up at this length, where the legs are short enough that carbon fiber buys less than it does on a tall tripod. Use it for low interviews, tabletop, product, and any shot where the camera has to get under eye level.
