How we test
From small to tall, we check out the full range of features
We measure the maximum operate height of each tripod and its folded height for carrying. We also measure the combined weight of each set of tripod legs and head, using electronic scales, and measure the diameter of all leg sections, from the widest to the thinnest, using electronic digital callipers. You’ll find all the results in the specifications list with each review, and in the comparison table at the end of the test.
