FAQs
What is the maximum weight the Rode Tripod 2 can support?
The Rode Tripod 2 can support up to 2kg (4.4 lbs) at full extension.
Can I use this tripod with my professional camera setup?
The Tripod 2 is designed for smaller camera systems, microphones, and mobile devices. For heavier professional cameras, consider a tripod with a higher weight capacity.
Does it come with a mount for my smartphone?
The Rode Tripod 2 itself does not include a smartphone mount. You will need a separate smartphone mount that features a 1/4" thread to attach your phone.
How do I switch between tripod and handheld mode?
To use it as a tripod, extend the legs to one of the three positions. To use it as a handheld grip or selfie-stick, close the legs together and hold them.
What is the included thread adaptor for?
The included adaptor allows you to convert the standard 1/4" thread on the tripod to a 3/8" thread, increasing compatibility with a wider range of photographic and audio equipment.
Is the tripod stable enough for outdoor use?
The tripod offers good stability on flat surfaces for its size. For windy outdoor conditions, especially with taller equipment, using it in a wider stance or with additional weight at the base is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Tripod feels wobbly.
Ensure the legs are fully extended and locked in one of the three stable positions. Check that the device mounted is within the 2kg weight limit and is securely attached to the 1/4" thread.
Cannot attach my microphone.
Verify your microphone has a standard 1/4" thread. If it has a 3/8" thread, use the included 1/4" to 3/8" adaptor. If the thread is non-standard, you may need an additional adapter.
Legs are stiff to adjust.
Gently manipulate the legs. If stiffness persists, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints. Avoid forcing the legs, as this could cause damage.
