The Cartoni Stabilo Baby is an ultracompact support for low-angle applications with 100mm and 75mm ball tripod heads and up to 88 lb loads.

The Stabilo Baby natively supports 100mm heads but comes with a reduction ring for 75mm heads. Its three legs are independently adjustable into three different positions, allowing you to adjust the height from a maximum height of 6.5" to a low-to-the-ground 3.7". The legs feature rubber feet with retractable spikes inside that come out at the turn of a knurled thumbwheel on each leg, allowing you to use the Stabilo Baby on flat surfaces and soft ground.
