Want to shoot selfies or video with a phone or mirrorless? Want to go out and hike and still have a support tool? It covers lots of bases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smartphone mounting built-in<\/strong>: Retractable clamps convert the included arca swiss compatible tripod plate into a smartphone holder. (You can buy these individually for $19.99, handy if you want to use your phone mounted on another arca swiss compatible tripod) <br \/><br \/><em>Why this matters:<\/em> If you\u2019re using your phone for practice or even learning photography via mobile, this gives you a leg-up. No need for a separate phone tripod or clamp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Height and angle flexibility<\/strong>: From a minimum height of ~17.5 cm (~175 mm) up to ~1.57 m maximum height. Legs lock at angles like 22\u00b0, 55\u00b0, 85\u00b0 for uneven surfaces. <br \/><br \/><em>For beginners:<\/em> Good for experimenting with low-angle (dramatic) shots as well as standing height. The adjustable leg angles help when you\u2019re shooting on a hill, grass, or uneven pavement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inverted column \/ low-angle shots<\/strong>: The center column can be inverted for really low viewpoints (macro or creative shots). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freewellgear.com\/products\/camera-tripod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener\">Freewell Gear<\/a><br \/><br \/><em>What you\u2019ll love:<\/em> When you start exploring creative composition (getting low, shooting up at your subject, etc) this gives you an extra tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Payload &amp; build<\/strong>: Supports up to 20 kg (44 lbs) thanks to carbon-fibre + aluminium alloy construction. Weighs ~1.65 kg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s in the box?<\/strong>: The tripod, three desktop short legs, the phone\/arca swiss camera plate, a load hook to anchor your tripod down in a stiff wind, a weight hook for the same thing, tools, a user manual and it&#8217;s all packed in a decent little tripod carry bag.<br \/><br \/><em>Why it\u2019s relevant:<\/em> For a beginner it means you can grow your gear (larger camera bodies, heavier lenses) and not immediately out-grow the tripod. Also the lighter weight helps portability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-273276\" style=\"width:800px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:800px; padding-top:75.13%\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?resize=800%2C601&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Review: Freewell The Real Multi Tripod 5in1\" class=\"wp-image-273276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?resize=600%2C451&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/smartphone_mounting_tripod.jpeg?resize=717%2C539&amp;ssl=1 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"strengths-especially-for-beginners\">Strengths (especially for beginners)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are what I see as big pluses, especially if you are just getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Versatility<\/strong>: This is the major selling point. One tool that adapts rather than buying separate tripod + monopod + smartphone stand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourages experimentation<\/strong>: With modes like desktop and trekking-pole you\u2019re nudged to try different shooting scenarios beyond \u201ccamera on a stick\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good value for what it offers<\/strong>: The spec sheet is impressive for the price and gives you a \u201cfuture-proof\u201d element (i.e. supports heavy gear, many modes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smartphone friendly<\/strong>: A good nod to how many beginners start on mobile or want hybrid setups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stable build and strong payload<\/strong>: Should support a wide variety of camera setups, meaning you\u2019re less likely to need upgrades right away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"considerations-potential-drawbacks\">Considerations \/ Potential Drawbacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No product is perfect, and there are a few things to be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complexity \/ mode-switching learning curve<\/strong>: When a tool offers many modes, sometimes the \u201cswitching from one to another\u201d can be fiddly. Beginners may spend more time setting up than shooting until they familiarise themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trade-off between portability and robustness<\/strong>: Although 1.65 kg is decent, it\u2019s not ultra-light compared to minimal travel tripods. If your primary aim is ultra compact travel with just a mirrorless camera, there may be lighter simpler options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Size and folded length<\/strong>: While adjustable height is good, depending on your bag \/ carrying style you might notice the footprint of the fully-featured legs and mechanisms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not dedicated to one thing<\/strong>: Because it tries to cover many roles (tripod, trekking pole, etc), each mode might not outperform the best dedicated gear in that role. For example, a specialised trekking pole or a dedicated travel tripod might have slight advantages in those individual niches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-273277\" style=\"width:800px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:800px; padding-top:72.75%\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?resize=800%2C582&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Review: Freewell The Real Multi Tripod 5in1\" class=\"wp-image-273277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?resize=600%2C437&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?resize=768%2C559&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/desktop_mode_tripod.jpeg?resize=717%2C522&amp;ssl=1 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"how-id-recommend-using-it-as-a-beginner\">How I\u2019d Recommend Using It as a Beginner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some practical ways you can get the most from this tripod as you start your photography journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start simple<\/strong>: Use it in full tripod mode for typical still-photography \u2014 landscape, portraits, family shots. Get used to mounting your camera, extending the legs, adjusting the head.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Explore low angles<\/strong>: Try the inverted column or low-angle mode. Shoot at ground level for a different perspective (e.g., from leaves up to tree branches). This helps build your creative eye.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use desktop mode<\/strong>: This is great for indoor setups, still life, or constant-place shots (e.g., product photography, tabletop, even video calls).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile + camera hybrid<\/strong>: Use the smartphone mount to practice mobile photography or video, and switch to the camera when you feel confident.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outdoor adventures<\/strong>: When you\u2019re ready to go hiking or travel, use the trekking pole mode or monopod mode. This gives you support and flexibility outdoors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grow into it<\/strong>: Because it supports up to 20 kg, you won\u2019t feel limited as you upgrade lenses or camera bodies. You can keep this tripod for a while rather than needing to replace it early.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-273278\" style=\"width:800px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:800px; padding-top:89.63%\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?resize=800%2C717&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Review: Freewell The Real Multi Tripod 5in1\" class=\"wp-image-273278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?resize=300%2C269&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?resize=600%2C538&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?resize=768%2C688&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tripod_max_height.jpeg?resize=717%2C643&amp;ssl=1 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"final-verdict\">Final Verdict<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a beginner photographer, the Freewell Real Multi Tripod 5-in-1 is <strong>highly recommended<\/strong> if you are looking for a <strong>flexible, multi-purpose support tool<\/strong> that allows you to experiment, grow, and cover a wide range of shooting scenarios.
