We tested the Zecti mini tripod for travel

When we want to make a recording as professional as possible, with some panning, sweeping or photos touching some parameters directly from our smartphone, it is best to have a good tripod so that everything is as good as possible. I honestly cannot say that I am an expert in photography or video and much less in this type of accessories since I have not had too many tripods, and the ones I use most frequently are the "spider" type with flexible arms that allow the legs to be bent. to be able to hook them around any surface, but in this case what we will see is a tripod of the most traditional to leave standing on the ground but that Thanks to its reduced weight and size, it allows us to take it on a trip anywhere.

There are many brands of tripods and some Hama, Cullman or even Manfrotto come to mind that way, but for some people who are not professionals the really important thing is not to spend too much on them and the Zecti range is quite contained when it comes to price.

Finishes of this Zecti ZT-015

We will start with the finishes and details of this model from the Zecti firm, they offer us versatility and a good handful of options in terms of its height, reaching a maximum of 122,5 cm and a minimum when all legs are shrunken 39,5 cm.

The material with which it is made is made of a resistant aluminum alloy and plastic, the screw that we find to mount the camera is the universal 1/4 ″ and the support for the smartphone is for devices between 55 and 90 cm maximum, so that compatible smartphones will be up to 5.7 inches. Obviously we are talking about placing the smartphone in landscape mode. The legs of this tripod are divided into 4 parts and bearing supports a maximum of 2 kg. On the other hand, it should be noted that the weight of the Zeci ZT-015 it is barely 600 gr and this is both an advantage and a disadvantage in some cases. Also add a small bag for transport.

Stability and use of the tripod

Undoubtedly one of the key sections in this type of accessories. Stability is the point to take into account when buying this tripod if we do not have wind, it is firm, but if we have this element present the Zecti is somewhat insecure or it is the feeling that it has given us (even though it has not fallen) but the very lightness of the whole makes you always think of the worst.

On the other hand, on the legs, we find a non-slip rubber that ensures a good stability of the tripod, It has a small bubble as a level that serves as a reference to attach the tripod. The most important thing is not to exceed the limits set by the manufacturer and above all be clear that it is not a tripod for cameras that are too big or heavy, it is a very light tripod for travel. Obviously the Zecti adds a pair of anchors that allows us use our iPhone or any smartphoneIt also allows the use of digital cameras, gopro-type sports cameras and I would dare to say that even some small size and weight reflex cameras, since it is not a specific tripod for heavy cameras and more focused for mobile devices or small action cameras .

If you are thinking of buying a tripod to carry around, that is light and directly to use with your iPhone or action camera, this Zecti ZT-015 can be a very good option. Also now it is discounted in Amazon and we can buy it for 26,99 euros.
