Xenvo SquidGrip Tripod

Andy's Travel Gear Product Reviews Series

Half the game of taking a nice photo is keeping your camera steady. And this all-purpose, all-terrain tripod from Xenvo does the trick in those tough situations.

The rubberized articulated arms of Zenvo's SquidGrip tripod allow for a secure grip and hold on just about any surface or scenario. The arms are long enough to wrap around pipes, fencing, banisters etc. The ball joint up top allows you to pivot the platform for your phone or camera to just the right angle as well.

The size and heft of this tool make this a tough sell for me on the road. For those who need to travel light, I don't think the functionality quite justifies how much weight and space it takes up.

Highlights:

- Good construction quality

- Sturdy, and well able to hold any smart phone, GoPro or DSLR

Drawbacks:

- Size and heft was too much for me, didn't make the cut for my long-term non-photographic-centric style of travel.

Price: $30
