Kado Metal Portable Monitor Stand Tripod - Compact 360 Ball Head

Our review of the Kado Metal Portable Monitor Stand Tripod finds it useful for remote workers, content creators, and travelers who need a compact, multiuse mounting solution. The set's single biggest selling point is its versatility: a 360 ball head, a 1/4" screw to 100x100mm and 75x75mm VESA adapter, plus a 2-in-1 tablet and phone clamp mean this kit replaces several single-purpose mounts. Build quality and the all-metal design give confidence when mounting portable monitors, tablets, cameras, webcams or projectors, while the compact disassembly makes it genuinely portable for on-the-go setups.

Key Features

• 360 Premium Ball Head: The compact ball head lets you quickly set precise portrait or landscape angles for monitors, cameras or projectors.
• VESA Ready Adapter: The included 1/4" screw to 100x100mm and 75x75mm bracket makes mounting most portable monitors straightforward without extra parts.
• 2-in-1 Clamp Holder: The tablet and phone clamp supports devices from 2.56 in (65mm) to 8.86 in (225mm), covering phones, tablets and many portable monitors.
• All-Metal Construction: Metal body and extension rod improve stability over plastic stands, keeping displays steady during use.
• Adjustable Height: Extension offers a base height of 8.27 in (210mm) up to 13.78 in (350mm), useful for creating a second-screen workstation or elevated camera position.
• Portable Design: The tripod disassembles into parts for easy transport and quick reassembly when relocating your workstation.

Who It's For

The Kado tripod is best for remote professionals who use a portable monitor or tablet alongside a laptop, creators who need a compact mount for a camera or webcam, and travelers who want a lightweight, multiuse stand that fits in a bag. The versatility means one kit can serve several devices without buying separate mounts.

Those who want heavy-duty studio stands, very tall height ranges, or mounts for large desktop monitors should look elsewhere; this set is optimized for portable monitors, tablets, phones and small cameras rather than full-size desktop displays.
