Rank #6 in Best Camera Tripods 2026: Nine Ranked, and the Spec Tables That Contradict the Copy
JOILCAN NH70 Compact Tripod for DSLR and Phone
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The JOILCAN compact tripod sits at number six of the nine tripods in this guide, at £25.59 with 4.4 stars from 1,989 ratings. It is an aluminium tripod with a three-way swivel head, a standard 1/4" quick release plate, a detachable head, a phone holder with a cold shoe mount, flip locks, a bubble level and a weight hook, and it arrives with a carry bag. The product title itself carries no model number at all; the Model Name field in the specification says NH70.
Most listings in this guide fail a simple cross-check: a weight or a height in the specification field that contradicts the bullet points sitting above it on the same page. This one passes. The bullets say the height adjusts from 19" up to 65" and that the tripod weighs 1.13kg (2.5lbs); the specification fields give a minimum height of 48.5cm and a maximum of 165cm, which converts to 19.1" and 65", and an item weight of 1.13kg. The one odd field is the folded size, written as "20 Zoll/51cm" — Zoll is German for inches, and 20 inches is 50.8cm, so the figure still holds up. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it was shown, not from any test of ours.
