I own a set of Slik Pro 700DX tripod legs which are huge, but create an incredibly stable platform for just about anything. I also have a Zomei Z888C Carbon Fiber tripod which I consider my "standard" tripod. It's light and compact enough to bring along most places, but very stable and a max height of 68". I bring it when I'm doing a planned shoot. However, it's still big enough that I tend to leave it behind in many situations when I'm traveling light. So for me, this Bonfoto B690A fills the role of a travel tripod, and a "just in case" tripod. If I'm grabbing a small set of gear to throw in a gear pack for a casual shoot or impromptu event, and I don't really think I'll need a tripod, this is small enough that I can bring it along "just in case". Considerably smaller and lighter than my other tripods, but is still substantial enough, and stable enough, to be useful in many situations. It also takes up a lot less room in a suitcase for traveling or backpacking. I'm actually quite surprised at how stable it is for such a small and inexpensive piece of gear. Even when both the legs and center column are fully extended, it's very usable. Of course it isn't as stable as the others I own, but plenty enough to do the job especially given that if I didn't have this tripod, I wouldn't bring one along at all for some situations. I like the flip-lock legs, although the locks are plastic and I'm concerned that they may not hold up long term. There are a few other small places where plastic is used instead of metal, such as in the quick release plate, but that's all good because it helps reduce the weight, which is one of the reasons I got this. I weighed it at 2 pounds 7 ounces, a real lightweight to me! Everything works smoothly and has the feel of a quality tripod. In fact, many of its features look identical to the Zomei tripod I own, and I'd guess that they're both manufactured by the same company. The red accents make for an attractive, modern look. The ball head seems well made and works fine. You can loosen a small knob on the side which releases the head to rotate in the pan axis, without unlocking the ball. This makes it more useful for videography and still panoramas. The rotation of the pan axis has a very smooth feel to it, but also has a resistance to motion that gives it a kind of viscous feel. It rotates with low to moderate force when moved slowly, but requires more force to rotate more quickly. This imparts a steadiness to video panning, and pretty much eliminates the uneven pan speed you usually get from hand panning on cheap tripods. By the way, this feature is also on my Zomei tripod ball head, which looks very similar to this one. Bottom line, this tripod will get a lot of use from me. It's the perfect size and weight to allow me to bring it on shoots where I might otherwise decide to just leave the tripod at home. And at $65, it's cheap enough that I don't have to worry much about mishandling it or having it get damaged in transit. Definitely an excellent travel tripod. I highly recommend it! Review: I love this thing. - This is my first fully-featured tripod, and I’ve never owned or used the very expensive tripods reviewers are often comparing this and similar items to. So I don’t have perspective on that. I can say I paid more for a monfrotto from a big box retailer that is vastly inferior to this tripod. The lack of center weight and the overall weight of that tripod means it stays at home if I’m hiking. The center hook that I hung my gear bag from in the attached photo meant I could feel confident leaving some fairly expensive, fairly heavy gear on a tripod on a mountain summit where sudden gusts of wind are common. The light weight of this tripod meant I could manage to get it to the summit in the first place. This was a prime day deal for me, but I’d be happy with it at regular price knowing what I do now. One reviewer noted that you can still turn it along the horizontal access even when it is tightened all the way down. This appears to be true, but it’s not going to start turning on its own or anything. And the other two knobs hold fast, both of which would actually be deal breakers if not. I am also not a professional photographer, so I can’t say if this will stand up to the rigors of a few hundred weddings, or similar. All I can say is if you want to hike with a tripod that you can trust your expensive camera gear to, this one seems like a great bet. As far as it’s ability to handle heavy gear, I trust it’s rating. I have used it with a 1) sigma 70-200 sports lens + 2) the mc-11 sony e-mount adapter, + 3) fc-2001 teleconverter, all mounted to 4) my Sony A7 III. That is a pretty, pretty heavy setup, and it felt solid as a rock the whole time to me. ## Features - Telescoping Shaft: Double shaft design makes the tripod more compact when folded. - Broad Compatibility: 1/4” standard screw on the mounting plate, which is compatible with dslr, smartphone, project, telescope and so on. - Flip-flock Design: Upgraded tripod leg lock greatly enhanced the stability of the tripod. - Precise Ball Head: 360 degree horizontal swivel and 90 degree vertical platform with 3-way head allows you to take photos at any angle, which helps to ensure fast transitions between shots. - Assurance: 24-hr customer service are always ready to help; for more information, please refer to the description ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072NZL11B | | Best Sellers Rank | #847 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | BONFOTO | | Color | B690a Aluminumn Tripod | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 782 Reviews | | Folded Size | 14.5 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612032617127 | | Head Type | Ball Heads | | Item Length | 53.5 inches | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Manufacturer | BONFOTO | | Manufacturer Part Number | B690A | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Height | 53.5 inches | | Minimum Height | 20.5 inches | | Model Name | B690A | | Model Number | B690A | | Number of leg sections | 4 | | Special Feature | Compact, Lightweight, Portable | | Special Features | Compact, Lightweight, Portable | | UPC | 735935178240 614251258976 735935178660 735935178387 792855999768 728408425828 735935178653 614251258594 614251258310 614251258198 792855998938 735935178776 728408426122 792855999690 735935178219 614251258990 728408426207 612032617127 735935178196 735935178370 614251258327 728408426191 614251258587 792855999676 614251258303 614251258983 735935178233 614251258600 728408425767 792855999683 7402294881… | | Weight Limit | 18 pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BONFOTO - **Color:** B690a Aluminumn Tripod - **Compatible Devices:** Smartphone - **Item Weight:** 3 pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Maximum Height:** 53.5 inches - **Model Name:** B690A - **Special Feature:** Compact, Lightweight, Portable - **Tripod Head Type:** Ball Heads - **Weight Limit:** 18 pounds ## Images ![B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MZoeR++qL.jpg) ![B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710+AdMtN8L.jpg) ![B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mbSpKqo5L.jpg) ![B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WhMw9DbYL.jpg) ![B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EcLMJxBCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect travel tripod, surprisingly well built. *by C***O on April 19, 2018* For background, I do videography and still photography with a Lumix GH5, Canon T3i, DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Osmo+.

Verified the weight to be 2.61 lbs or 1.185 kg. 54.5 inch height fully extended as a tripod. For travel and hiking, the smaller and lighter the better. Smaller to a point, though. If its too short, well, its obviously not going to work for some situations. I feel that 52 inches is that minimum height for me, so this tripod checks the box. As long as its strong enough, the lighter the better. You can always hang your bag from it for extra stability. I feel this tripod is definitely sturdy enough as is, probably wont need to weight it down most of the time. Ball head is what you would expect from a minimum weight, small size tripod. It is adequate. Holds my Z6 with Sigma 150-600mm lens just fine. You can do better than rough pans for videos, but this is no a fluid video head obviously. Comparing to the Geekoto AT24 Traveller, which I have had for a year, these are on par. The Geekoto is slightly heavier at 2.8 lbs, but it also feels ever so slightly beefier especially when weighted down with a bag full of gear. Honestly, both are a fine choice, and you cant go wrong either way. Unless that 0.2 lbs means the world to you, these are the best two travel/hiking tripods on the market. Get whichever is cheapest at the time. I managed to get flash deals on each of these, so I am happy to own both. If you are serious about photography, do yourself a favor and stay away from anything smaller/lighter than these. They will be a lot easier to hump, but wont do the job well when you need it to. The Geekoto AT24 and Bonfoto B690A are worth bringing, even if it means I have to leave a lens or two behind. ## Frequently Bought Together - BONFOTO B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44682440-b690a-camera-tripod-for-travel-lightweight-aluminum-portable-dslr-tripod](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44682440-b690a-camera-tripod-for-travel-lightweight-aluminum-portable-dslr-tripod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
