Versatile and Sturdy Mounting Solution
The Rode Tripod 2 Three-Position Tripod Mount in Black is a high-quality, compact tripod designed for mounting cameras, microphones, and accessories, ideal for vloggers, filmmakers, podcasters, and content creators across Australia. With its three adjustable leg positions, ergonomic handheld grip, and robust construction, it offers flexibility for tabletop or handheld use in video production, streaming, and podcasting.
Flexible Positioning and Stability
The Tripod 2 features three leg positions—closed, mid (52°), and wide (75°) spread—allowing for optimal stability and height adjustment (109 mm to 151 mm) on tabletops or uneven surfaces. In the closed position, the legs fold together to form an ergonomic handheld grip, perfect for vlogging or mobile video recording. The tripod includes a 1/4-inch thread for mounting cameras and accessories, with a 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch thread adapter for microphones like the Rode NTG series or PodMic. Six 1/4-inch female thread inserts (two per leg) enable additional accessory mounting, such as lights or secondary mics. The ball-head tripod design with a 90° locking groove ensures precise vertical positioning for accurate shots. Users praise its versatility for DSLR setups, smartphone rigs, and microphone stands, though some note the plastic construction may feel less premium compared to metal tripods.
Durable and Lightweight Design
Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the Tripod 2 is made from high-quality plastic, weighing just 200 g for easy portability. It supports up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) when fully extended at a 90° angle, accommodating compact cameras, microphones, and accessories like the Rode VideoMicro or DCS-1 dual cold shoe mount. Rubberized pads on the legs enhance tabletop stability, while the foldable design (205 mm closed height) fits easily into gear bags. The tripod’s interchangeable head allows attachment of accessories like the Rode SmartGrip or MicroLED, enhancing its utility. Users appreciate its compact size and lightweight build for travel, though some recommend a carrying pouch (not included) for protection. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s a reliable choice for creators.
