Purpose & audience

The Datacolor Spyder Tripod is a flexible, lightweight camera support designed for photographers who need portable stability. Weighing only 0.099 lbs (45 g) and standing 7" (18.5 cm) high, it suits travel, nighttime, landscape, architectural and time-lapse work where a full-size tripod is impractical.

Upgrade path

It replaces makeshift supports or unstable surfaces when shooting in low light or during long exposures. The jump is worth it when you require a ballhead for smooth positioning and a 0.6 lbs (275 g) load capacity that handles heavier camera and lens combinations without adding bulk to your kit.

Practical limits

Maximum load is capped at 0.6 lbs (275 g), so larger professional bodies with heavy telephoto lenses exceed its rating. The fixed 7" height restricts shooting perspectives to tabletop or low-angle compositions. Compatibility with SpyderX calibrators adds ambient light monitoring utility but does not expand the physical constraints.

Questions about this item

What is the folded height and weight of the STP100 tripod?

The Spyder Tripod stands 7 inches (18.5 cm) high and weighs 0.099 lbs (45 g), making it compact enough to carry on any photographic outing.

How do I attach my camera to the ball head, and what mistake should I avoid?

Screw the camera onto the ball head's mounting plate; the step people miss is tightening the locking knob fully so the 0.6 lbs (275 g) capacity is actually secure.

Will the rubber feet or ball head need replacement after heavy field use?

The flexible legs and ball head are built for repeated positioning; no user-serviceable parts are listed, so normal wear does not require scheduled component swaps.
