My original 7 Day Shop tripod is finally on its last legs, can anyone suggest a similar small tripod for self takes?

Ngt one for me. The amount of times it comes out of the bag it's not worth paying more than the £12 or whatever it was

Bumping this, any tripod recommendations?

Needs to pack down to 13-14 inches and be light so it can live in my rucky and grip a phone.

Cheers

Thank you but the ground in and around some swims I fish is like concrete (it might be underneath!) so would need to be a tripod

I got this one, it's a really good bit of kit. It has a spring loaded clamp on top to put your phone in.

One of these mini tripods and phone holder, stood on a bucket.
I have just ordered another for my barbel rucksack.
BTW, the legs extend, but it can make it a bit top heavy.
£7.52 from ebay for tripod and holder.

Yes that's what I currently have but with bendy legs.

I travel quite light and have struggled to get it to sit on top of the rucky or chair hence the need of something that sits on the ground and extends instead

Never tried one with the bendy legs, but thought they may let the phone droop down as phones got heavier.
The one shown has no issues provided you sit it on a flat surface like a bucket lid.
Always worth doing a test shot to check distance and framing are ok before taking the real pics.

My test shots are terrible, but add the fish into the mix and my 'trophy' shots are even worse. I normally end up looking like some kind of rabid phsycho with glasses 😂😂
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
