GEX Heavy Duty Canvas Block Head Tripod review

A block head on a table clamp works at desk height. A tripod lets you stand, walk around the head and see a wig at eye level, which helps with cutting and setting long styles. GEX makes its heavy duty tripod from aluminum alloy and has upgraded the top base to metal rather than plastic so it holds a mannequin head firmly. It extends from 17.7 inches to a maximum of 63 inches and weighs 4.9 pounds. The listing is the rose version, and the GEX store also sells a silver one. When we checked it cost $65.99 and showed a 4.8 average across 146 reviews. The tripod does not include a head, so budget for one, such as the GEX block with its mount hole. One customer review on the GEX store describes a mixed-up order with the wrong color sent, so check what arrives.
