Overview

The Neewer TP38 is a compact aluminum alloy tripod engineered around a specific creative constraint: it needs to do four jobs — tabletop tripod, handheld selfie stick, smartphone stand, and action camera mount — and still disappear into a jacket pocket. At 300g and 21cm folded, it delivers on that promise. The four-section extension system reaches 38cm, which covers desk-level product shooting, low-angle vlog framing, and handheld use. The 360° ball head accepts full panoramic rotation with a locking knob, and the 1/4" side screw on the head expands accessory options beyond the two integrated cold shoes. Phone compatibility spans 60–86mm device widths, covering essentially every current flagship smartphone including cased iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models.

For solo content creators, travel videographers, and photographers who need a compact stabilization option that goes beyond a basic phone clamp, the TP38 fills a practical gap. The dual cold shoes mean you can run a clip-on mic and a compact LED light simultaneously — a complete portable interview or vlog setup on a platform that weighs less than a can of soda. Its limitations are honest ones: this is a tabletop and short-range tool, not a replacement for a full-height travel tripod. The ball head performs well with smartphones and compact mirrorless bodies but requires careful locking technique at maximum load capacity. Photographers who work with multiple cameras quickly will find the hand-tightened 1/4" screw a friction point. For its intended use as a creator's carry-everywhere companion, it is exceptionally well-matched.

Frequently Asked Questions

The TP38's 1.5kg / 3.3lb load capacity covers most mirrorless bodies with a standard kit lens — a Sony A6000 with 16-50mm kit lens sits around 560g, well within spec. On uneven surfaces, the three short legs provide a stable triangle, but the compact footprint means it's more secure on flat desks or floors than on textured outdoor terrain.
Both cold shoes are standard 1/4"-compatible mounting points, accepting most clip-on microphones, small LED fill lights, or phone mounts. They do not carry electrical contacts — anything requiring active sync (like optical slave triggers) needs a separate hot shoe adapter.
The ball head uses a tightening knob that locks the position. For lightweight mirrorless and smartphone setups, it holds position reliably through a clip. Under max load with a heavier DSLR, some users report minor creep if the lock isn't fully tightened — snug the knob fully before recording.
Yes. The phone clamp adjusts to 86mm width, which accommodates an iPhone 15 Pro Max in a slim case. The non-slip silicone grip on the handle provides secure handheld use. Extend only to a comfortable wrist-stable length for smoother video handheld work.
Yes, a tripod mount adapter for action cameras is included. It accepts standard GoPro-style mounts, covering Hero 7 through Hero 12, as well as Insta360 and DJI Osmo Action models via their respective adapters.
