Kenro Smart Lite ミニボール雲台 ロングシャンク付き

For the price, the 47mm long shank gives me just enough extra height to level the camera over a railing, and the cold shoe on the base is a clever touch for mounting a mic. It's solid for my mirrorless setup under 2kg, though I'd be careful pushing that limit.

I swapped this onto my travel tripod and the extra reach from the detachable shank makes framing overhead shots so much easier. The aluminium build feels sturdy without being too heavy for the 2kg load limit.

The 47mm long shank gives me just enough clearance to clear my camera's deep grip, which was my main worry. Locking it down feels solid for a 2kg setup, and the whole thing stays compact at 107mm when I pack it in my bag.
