ProMaster Hitchhiker XL Convertible Tripod

I was pleasantly surprised how stable the handheld stabilizer mode feels, even with my heavier mirrorless camera attached. Having a selfie stick that actually works for video calls is a bonus I didn't expect.

I’ve been using it as a boom for overhead smartphone shots and the ball head holds position perfectly, which is rare at this size. It folds down small enough that I just tossed it in my jacket pocket before a hike, and it saved me on a few wobbly tabletop setups.

The leg lock mechanism is really clever, making it quick to switch from a selfie stick to a mini tripod without fumbling. I’ve been using it mostly as a handheld stabilizer for video calls, and it works perfectly for that.
