Category: Tripods With Heads

A remarkably versatile tool for your camera and smartphone that works as a small tripod, handheld stabilizer, camera/phone boom, and selfie stick—you're going to want to take a Hitchhiker XL along everywhere you go!



Thanks to its convertible ball head with an integrated phone clamp, the Hitchhiker XL converts between camera and smartphone modes in just seconds. When in smartphone mode, a cold shoe is revealed for conveniently mounting an accessory such as a light or microphone.



The strong, independently extendable legs of the Hitchhiker XL create a broad, stable base and fold together to form a comfortable round handle that acts as a stabilizer.



An extendable center column provides approximately three feet of working height, making it an excellent option for video conferencing, group portraits, overhead shots, or use as a selfie stick.



Weighing less than 1 lb with a folded length of 9.5", it's easy to bring the Hitchhiker XL with you anywhere.

Hazel L. ★★★★★

This little tripod has become my go-to for quick video calls and phone snapshots around the house. The conversion to a handheld stabilizer is surprisingly smooth and really easy to switch on the fly.

James K. ★★★★★

The twist-to-lock legs on this thing are surprisingly quick to deploy, which made switching from a low-angle shot to a handheld stabilizer mid-hike feel effortless. I mainly use it as a phone boom for overhead cooking videos, but the fact that it collapses small enough to clip onto my bag means it's

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The 4-in-1 boom mode was a lifesaver for getting overhead shots at a family gathering without dragging along a heavier rig. Swapping it from a tripod to a stabilizer takes seconds, and the phone clamp feels secure even when I’m walking fast.
