Traveler 7C Carbon Fibre Tripod and Monopod with 360° Ball Head | 65" Compact Portable Travel Tripod with Extendable Centre Column for Camera, DSLR, Camcorder, Max Load 8kg

There are four questions to ask yourself before buying a tripod? 1) Is it in your budget? 2) Is it the right height for you (without extending the centre column) to see through the viewfinder of your camera or rear screen without crouching or standing on your toes? 3) Does it have the load capacity to carry your gear (your camera and any long lenses)? 4) How are you going to use the tripod (on a hike/climbing mountains or just at home/in the garden or a few yards from your car)? Lightweight is best for hikes but something heavier and cheaper would be OK for home or near your car. For me this tripod was YES to the first three questions and for my hikes its Lightweight was a YES to the fourth. I would strongly recommend the carbon fibre (7C) version rather than the aluminum one (7A) for this very reason and it folds up nicely for carrying. I also like the Arca Swiss compatible ball head for simplicity of use, security and its wider choice of available L brackets. It would be nice if the ball head had a friction adjustment, but at this price I cannot really complain. The twist grips are best only turned a fraction over a quarter of a turn on releasing the legs otherwise its easy to drop/lose a section. if you need to use it to get ground level photographs then you will need to check the specifications to see that it meets your needs Overall for the price the tripod is extremely well made and comes with a six year warranty. Finally the ability to convert it to a monopod is a nice touch. What's not to like!

Well made. Tall enough. Stable. Works well.

Great travel tripod well built

Unfortunately mine got damaged in shipping so I got a refund and ordered a new one from their website. What I like about it: The trypod is really well built and surprisingly light for its size. It's easy to use and I feel confident that it will hold my cameras weight. I love how versatile it is. It's a trypod and monopod in one. What I dislike: The one thing I dislike about the trypod is the the plastic piece between the ball head and the trypod body feels cheap and is easy to brake.

Great little lightweight tripod. I removed the ball head and replaced it with a Innorel F60 fluid video head. Works great with lenses such as 70 200, Nikon 300mm PF, Nikon 200 500, Canon 100 400 and smaller lenses. Great quality, nice smooth twist leg locks. Easy action leg angle button.

It met expectations, nothing negative to add.

Very good!

I purchased this tripod after extensive research for photography. I believe it will fit the purposes admirably. Delivery service excellent.

My favorite tripod! Great value for money. Higher quality than some at the same price point. Works perfectly as advertised. Nice and light, but also pretty solid. Not as stable as some, but you can hang a bag from the hook to help stabilize. High quality product for sure.

Utilisé en sortie avec un petit télescope de 5 kg positionné à 1 mètre de hauteur. Le pied étant léger, il est un peu flexible. Mais les pieds peuvent s’ouvrir à différents angles (40º, 80º …) et le mode 80º permet d’obtenir une très bonne stabilité même avec 5 kg en hauteur. Les pieds en caoutchouc glissent légèrement dans cette configuration et l’emprise au sol est conséquente. Le réglage de la longueur des pieds est très facile (tourner légèrement la bague pour débloquer / bloquer). Une fois le bon équilibre trouvé, la séance de 3 heures qui a suivi a permis de réaliser de très belles photos du ciel profond (jusqu’à une magnitude 15 pour 30 minutes d’exposition) Et le sac léger avec bretelle fourni facilite les déplacements

Disclosure: not a pro. Intermediate photo skills. Grew up on the Olympus OM2 system with multiple lenses, currently using the Olympus OM-5 system. Bought this as a more flexible alternative to the heavier tripod I already had. This provides great stability and the weight is lightweight enough for my needs. I often use just the monopod feature and find it's quite stable for the quick shots I am taking. Haven't had occasion to use the stainless steel foot spikes, the rubber feet have been suited to my needs so far. I also don't know whether this would be a suitable tripod for larger telephoto lenses. Nicely compact and I believe it's well worth the money. Quality is very good. Recommended for hiking and travelling.

Tamaño ideal para maleta cabina avion. Tripode ligero y resistente. Usado en febrero, en Lofoten. Perfecto.

Gostei muito. Atendeu 100% minhas expectativas.
