Digital Camera World Verdict

The Benro TablePod Flex Kit is a nifty little device that makes content creation on the go easy. It's lightweight, packs down really small and is able to be used in lots of unique configurations. It's designed to be used either with a smartphone, mirrorless camera or a compact system camera and it has several features such as an auxiliary locking ring and quick lock clamp that make the flexible legs even more secure. It's one of the best tabletop tripods I've ever used and the first that gives you the option to use it as a standard tabletop tripod or as a flexible tripod that can be wrapped around almost anything.

Pros

If you're after a tabletop tripod that delivers the sturdiness of a tripod with rigid legs but the versatility of one with flexible legs, the Benro TablePod Flex Kit is perfect. This versatile, compact tripod features carbon fiber legs that store flexible, rubber legs inside for those moments you need to secure your camera to a branch, post or or another tube-like surface. 

It comes with an arca-swiss style ball head so you can easily angle your camera in the correct position and you can quickly change between portrait and landscape mode. Like the Benro KoalaPod, it comes with an auxiliary locking ring to prevent the legs from becoming loose, a quick-lock clamp and a mobile phone adapter mount.
