Thanks to its convertible ball head with an integrated phone clamp, the Hitchhiker XL switches 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.
