Review: For when you don't want to lug around a full-size tripod - This is easily the worst tripod I own in terms of stability and ease of operation. But it’s 1 1/4 pounds (with the ball head and center extension pole), so this is my favorite tripod for backcountry hiking with my 3/4 pound Canon G7X Mk II camera. (My next lightest full-size tripod would add more than 2 pounds). All the carbon fiber poles are quite stiff, but the linkages are sufficiently loose that with a moderately heavy camera, the telescoping center extension pole will easily flex when fully extended. In that position, vibrations also take a long time to dampen out. This configuration is probably only usable if there is no wind or other perturbations while you wait for the vibrations to die out after pressing the shutter. But if this works, it is almost as tall as my much sturdier Alta tripod (see picture). The situation improves markedly if the (thinnest) top section is retracted. With all 3 sections at minimum extension, the system is rock solid and I had no issues shooting starry night skies with >10 s exposures. (see video for vibrations after pressing shutter for each extension level.) If you are OK with a short tripod, you can leave out the center pole and screw the ballhead directly into the base (which also brings the weight down to a smidgen over 1 pound). Since I was pointing the camera at the sky, having the pole made for much better ergonomics though. The legs are essentially the same design as the center pole, but as they are only carrying 1/3 the load and directionally biased, I didn’t have any problems even at full extension. The center hook for a stabilizing weight also worked well with a 2L (4 pounds) hydration bladder, at least in wind-free conditions. Ergonomics are ho-hum. Pole segments are secured with twist-locks, which is not as fast as the lever locks on my other tripods. And for carrying in a backpack, the center pole has to be unscrewed from the base. So deploying is a matter of screwing in the center pole, unscrewing all the twist-locks, extending each pole segment and then tightening each twist lock. For compact carrying, I keep the ballhead rotated sideways to prevent snagging. So that’s another adjustment. All in all, not something you whip out quickly after spotting wildlife in the distance. Fine for landscape or macro photography where you have time to set things up. The ballhead is about as small as you can make it. It works well, but the controls are definitely bunched up. In addition to the ball adjustment, there is a separate lock for panning and the locking knob on the Arca-Swiss clamp. It’s all OK with bare hands, but I suspect it would be more difficult to operate with heavy gloves. That said, the ballhead is operated with a lever and only needs 90 degrees to switch between free and locked. All the movements are smooth, so changing camera position is still fast if you are not trying to lock the panning axis. Overall, this is a niche product that makes all the right compromises. I think of this as hiking gear rather than photography gear. It’s a decent (not great) full-featured, full-size (if you’re not too tall) tripod for lightweight cameras that weighs about a pound and packs down small enough to fit into a backpack side pocket. For that niche, it’s 5 stars. I use it far less than my other tripods, but it goes places that the others will never see.
Review: ideal tripod for travel - It is finally the ideal tripod for travel that fits in a backpack, very light, about 500g, perfect for mirrorless cameras and smartphones. There is a lot to say about the decent stability, the packing method, the accessories, everything is superb.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can I attach the last piece that extends the height to the tripod?**
A: The last piece you mean the ball head or center column? Either way, you just screw in. Unless you lost the little 3/8 to 1/4 adapter, then you won't be able to.

**Q: Which Carbon fiber extension rod will fit this tripod as it is apparently not included anymore?**
A: ANY extension will work as long it has the same thread size on the mount screw..... just don't go TOO big as the tripod is not designed to be tall... so the taller it is, the less stable it is....

**Q: How can I order the center column extension separately?**
A: I doubt you can.

**Q: Would this handle a 4 lb load well?**
A: yes as long as the camera lens doesn't make the tripod off center of gravity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ideal tripod for travel

It is finally the ideal tripod for travel that fits in a backpack, very light, about 500g, perfect for mirrorless cameras and smartphones. There is a lot to say about the decent stability, the packing method, the accessories, everything is superb.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid tripod for what it is
*by T***L on November 17, 2020*

First off, the center post extension is a joke, so get rid of it. Otherwise, the build quality on this tripod is outstanding. Solid components, I especially like the metal twist locks for the leg extensions. For seated use with a small, lightweight spotting scope this is about as lightweight as I can imagine I'd want to go and still have a moderate amount of stability. Of course it's not as stable as a lot of heavier tripods, but for the size and weight it does an outstanding job. You just have to realize you are purchasing a very compact, lightweight tripod and you are giving up stability to gain packability. The head isn't great either, but is easily replaceable. The original head is tiny and lightweight as well, but it's not smooth at all. You can make it work if you need it to, but I'd be looking for a head upgrade if you are relying on this ball head with the purchase. Fortunately, I already have a couple of much nicer heads I can stick on there when I decide a backpacking trip warrants the use of this little tripod. Overall, it's a phenomenal value as long as you understand it's limitations and are okay with those tradeoffs.
