    Need a tripod or ring light for social media or for a self tape? Here are some of my favorite tripods and lights for actors. All of these suggestions are compact and great for travel!1. This tripod by TONEOF is SUPER tall for a travel tripod, has a nice weighted base, and has a rechargeable remote! 2. I call this small tripod made by Ubeesize ‘The Claw’ because it attaches to everything – my car, lamp posts, doors, etc. It’s super portable, light and flexible!3.
