Folded length, maximum height and a load figure that is static · review

Nineigh CT190, 190 cm, detachable column, 1 kg review

A 190 cm reach for 25 € from a tripod weighing 1 kg, with a column that detaches for overhead work and inverts for macro — and no load figure anywhere on the page.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line A hundred and ninety centimetres, a column that detaches for overhead and macro, a phone holder and a remote for 25 €: for a phone or a compact this is a great deal of tripod. It publishes no load, no section count and no height with the column down, so how much camera it will hold at full extension is not answerable from the page.

On the listing

Five bullets, each opening with a camera emoji. A detachable centre column usable for horizontal overhead shots, rotating through 360 degrees and invertible for macro; an ergonomic 3-way panoramic head with 360 degrees of rotation, 270 of tilt and 0 to 90 degrees for the landscape-to-portrait change; a 75 inch travel tripod with four quick-release catches extending from 18.5 to 75 inches, folding to 18.5 inches and weighing 1 kg; a universal 1/4 inch screw called compatible with everything from reflex to compact cameras, action cameras, webcams, camcorders, ring lights and projectors, with a phone holder adjusting from 2.2 to 3.74 inches; and an aluminium tube and ABS construction with a pocket-sized remote shutter working to 10 m.

A column that comes off

The feature that separates this from the rest of the shelf. Detached and mounted horizontally it reaches out over a subject for overhead work; inverted, it puts the camera near the floor for macro. Four other tripods here have a column that goes up and down and nothing else.

A hundred and ninety centimetres for twenty-five euros

Level with the K&F at 190 cm, and 63 cm above the Amazon Basics. At that height the top leg segment is doing all the work, which is precisely when a buyer wants to know what the tripod is rated to carry.

Four catches, and no count of sections

The page says how many things to open and never how many tubes there are. They are related and not the same: a five-section leg with four catches packs shorter and ends thinner than a three-section leg with two.

What is missing at full extension

No declared load. No height with the column down. No section count. For a phone at 190 cm none of that matters much; for a camera it is the difference between a tool and a guess.

Availability

Between 25 € and 36 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

190 cm of height for 25 €, the tallest of the five here
A centre column that detaches for overhead work and inverts for macro
A phone holder and a 10 m remote shutter supplied, with a universal 1/4 inch screw

Compromises

No declared load at all, on a tripod that reaches 190 cm
The section count is never stated — four catches are named instead
Aluminium and ABS at 1 kg, which is light for that height and says something about the tubes

Specifications

Heights with and without the column	18.5 to 75 inches, which is 47 to 190 cm, in the third bullet. At 190 cm it is level with the K&F, and as everywhere on this shelf the figure is with the column raised — the hub above asks for the height with it down, and no page gives it. The first bullet does something more unusual: the column DETACHES, so it can be used as a horizontal arm for overhead shots or inverted for macro
Folded length	18.5 inches, about 47 cm, in the third bullet. Four centimetres longer than the 13 € Amazon Basics and 45 cm shorter than the height it reaches
Sections	Not published as a count. The third bullet names four quick-release catches, which implies five leg segments, and the page never states the number — so what can be said is the number of things to open, not the number of tubes
Lock type	Quick-release catches, four of them, in the third bullet. Flip catches rather than twist collars: faster to extend, and each one is a separate action
Declared load	Not published. Five bullets cover the column, the head, the height, the compatibility and the remote, and no load figure appears at any point. The hub above treats declared load as a static figure that says nothing about wind or torque; here there is not even the static figure, on a tripod that reaches 190 cm
Material	Aluminium tube and ABS, in the fifth bullet, with a published weight of 1 kg in the third. Twice the weight of the 13 € Amazon Basics for 63 cm more height
Head included	Yes, a 3-way panoramic head: 360 degrees of horizontal rotation, 270 of tilt, and 0 to 90 degrees for the switch between landscape and portrait, in the second bullet. A universal 1/4 inch screw is named in the fourth, along with a phone holder taking 56 to 95 mm and a remote shutter working to 10 m
Amazon reference	B0CL43N2HR (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
EAN	0762704484936

What people ask before they commit

What does a detachable column let you do?

Two things the other four tripods here cannot. Used horizontally it becomes an arm that puts the camera out over a table or a flat subject, which is how overhead product and food shots are made. Inverted, it hangs the camera below the leg junction, close to the ground, for macro. The first bullet names both uses. What it does not mention is that both arrangements need weight on the opposite side to stay balanced.

How much does a missing load figure matter at 190 cm?

It is the specification a buyer most needs at that height, and it is absent. A tripod extended to its maximum has the thinnest section of each leg doing the work and the camera furthest from the ground, which is exactly when a load rating starts to mean something. The four other pages here publish a figure or a ceiling; this one publishes neither.

Is ABS a problem?

It depends where it is. ABS is a rigid plastic, ordinary for the head body, the catches and the phone clamp, and unremarkable there. What matters is that the legs are named as aluminium tube in the fifth bullet. At 1 kg for 190 cm the tubes are necessarily thin, and thin tubes plus a plastic head is where a tripod flexes — which is the honest reading of a 25 € price.
