The fit and finish make the tripod look like it costs a lot more than it did. This tripod is a tremendous value. The inclusion of the carrying case is another excellent feature as well as the easy to use ball head with protective cover. The size of the tripod when folded is about 14 inches and when placed in its case is easy to carry over the shoulder. I have loved using it for the brief period that I have had it. Anyone looking for a quality, extremely affordable, well-made and compact tripod should definitely take a look at the Bonfoto 690A lightweight aluminum alloy tripod with a 360 degree ball head, 1/4 inch quick release plate, bubble level and carry bag. You will be very happy you did. I am using mine with a Canon SL2 lightweight, compact DSLR. I works perfectly when attached. A nice, unexpected feature is that when my camera is attached to the mounting plate, I still have access to my battery and sd card compartment located on the bottom of the camera. I am able to take both out and put them back without having to remove the plate. This is very useful and saves time. Bravo! Bonfoto. Review: Lightweight but sturdy - easy setup - high quality - This is a high quality tripod at a great price. It’s surprisingly lightweight and sturdy enough to easily hold my Nikon D3300 with standard lens. I’m sure it can easily support larger telephoto lenses too. The case is good quality with nice protective padding. This folds up surprisingly small. The thin red rings on the grips and red tabs on the adjustment tabs are a subtle attractive touch. I originally bought the desertcart Basics lightweight tripod not realizing it wasn’t rated to support DSLR cameras. It might have worked okay in my studio setup, but I decided to return it and spring for this one instead. I’m so glad I did. It’s like night and day. This is thoughtfully designed. Another reviewer mentioned preferring that the tilt head would have a long arm for adjusting like other tripods, but I like the knob and find it very easy to use. Great job, Bonfoto! I couldn’t be happier. ## Features - Telescoping Shaft: Double shaft design makes the tripod more compact when folded. - Broad Compatibility: 1/4” standard screw on the mounting plate, which is compatible with dslr, smartphone, project, telescope and so on. - Flip-flock Design: Upgraded tripod leg lock greatly enhanced the stability of the tripod. - Precise Ball Head: 360 degree horizontal swivel and 90 degree vertical platform with 3-way head allows you to take photos at any angle, which helps to ensure fast transitions between shots. - Assurance: 24-hr customer service are always ready to help; for more information, please refer to the description ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072NZL11B | | Best Sellers Rank | #777 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | BONFOTO | | Color | B690a Aluminumn Tripod | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (782) | | Features | Compact, Lightweight, Portable | | Folded Size | 14.5 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612032617127 | | Head Type | Ball Heads | | Item Length | 53.5 Inches | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | BONFOTO | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Height | 53.5 Inches | | Minimum Height | 20.5 Inches | | Model Number | B690A | | Number of leg sections | 4 | | UPC | 735935178240 614251258976 735935178660 735935178387 792855999768 728408425828 735935178653 614251258594 614251258310 614251258198 792855998938 735935178776 728408426122 792855999690 735935178219 614251258990 728408426207 612032617127 735935178196 735935178370 614251258327 728408426191 614251258587 792855999676 614251258303 614251258983 735935178233 614251258600 728408425767 792855999683 7402294881… | | Weight Limit | 18 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BONFOTO - **Color:** B690a Aluminumn Tripod - **Compatible Devices:** Smartphone - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Maximum Height:** 53.5 Inches - **Minimum Height:** 20.5 Inches - **Special Feature:** Compact, Lightweight, Portable - **Tripod Head Type:** Ball Heads - **Weight Limit:** 18 Pounds ## Images ![BONFOTO B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MZoeR++qL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, compact and easy to set up. *by A***R on January 23, 2018* This is a terrific tripod, very easy to set up, lightweight, sturdy and stable.

I own a set of Slik Pro 700DX tripod legs which are huge, but create an incredibly stable platform for just about anything. I also have a Zomei Z888C Carbon Fiber tripod which I consider my "standard" tripod. It's light and compact enough to bring along most places, but very stable and a max height of 68". I bring it when I'm doing a planned shoot. However, it's still big enough that I tend to leave it behind in many situations when I'm traveling light. So for me, this Bonfoto B690A fills the role of a travel tripod, and a "just in case" tripod. If I'm grabbing a small set of gear to throw in a gear pack for a casual shoot or impromptu event, and I don't really think I'll need a tripod, this is small enough that I can bring it along "just in case". Considerably smaller and lighter than my other tripods, but is still substantial enough, and stable enough, to be useful in many situations. It also takes up a lot less room in a suitcase for traveling or backpacking. I'm actually quite surprised at how stable it is for such a small and inexpensive piece of gear. Even when both the legs and center column are fully extended, it's very usable. Of course it isn't as stable as the others I own, but plenty enough to do the job especially given that if I didn't have this tripod, I wouldn't bring one along at all for some situations. I like the flip-lock legs, although the locks are plastic and I'm concerned that they may not hold up long term. There are a few other small places where plastic is used instead of metal, such as in the quick release plate, but that's all good because it helps reduce the weight, which is one of the reasons I got this. I weighed it at 2 pounds 7 ounces, a real lightweight to me! Everything works smoothly and has the feel of a quality tripod. In fact, many of its features look identical to the Zomei tripod I own, and I'd guess that they're both manufactured by the same company. The red accents make for an attractive, modern look. The ball head seems well made and works fine. You can loosen a small knob on the side which releases the head to rotate in the pan axis, without unlocking the ball. This makes it more useful for videography and still panoramas. The rotation of the pan axis has a very smooth feel to it, but also has a resistance to motion that gives it a kind of viscous feel. It rotates with low to moderate force when moved slowly, but requires more force to rotate more quickly. This imparts a steadiness to video panning, and pretty much eliminates the uneven pan speed you usually get from hand panning on cheap tripods. By the way, this feature is also on my Zomei tripod ball head, which looks very similar to this one. Bottom line, this tripod will get a lot of use from me. It's the perfect size and weight to allow me to bring it on shoots where I might otherwise decide to just leave the tripod at home. And at $65, it's cheap enough that I don't have to worry much about mishandling it or having it get damaged in transit. Definitely an excellent travel tripod. I highly recommend it! ## Frequently Bought Together - BONFOTO B690A Camera Tripod for Travel,Lightweight Aluminum Portable DSLR Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carry Bag, Camera Stand for Ring Light & Canon Nikon Sony DSLR - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/44682440-bonfoto-b690a-camera-tripod-for-travel-lightweight-aluminum-portable-dslr](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/44682440-bonfoto-b690a-camera-tripod-for-travel-lightweight-aluminum-portable-dslr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
