Good tabletop tripod

Nice and compact. Only drawback is the nonstandard head. Replaced with a standard head.

Good for GoPro

Tiny tripod, good for GoPro, or a really small SLR. It' not arca swiss compatible.

Great Little Sturdy Tripod

I've found this tripod to be a good replacement for full size tripods during day hikes or overnight backpacking trips when I need to cut down on bag weight. All the components feel sturdy and good quality, and I've been able to take time lapse photos without any noticeable shake. For reference, I'm using a D5200 and 35 mm kit prime lens.

Packs in a shoulder bag!

I have a larger Mefoto Roadtrip and it's wonderful. I love the look, feel, stability, and portability of it, but it stays at home when I'm just out and about. I bought a much much smaller Manfrotto Pixi that I adore for being able to jam in my pocket and just have whenever, but it also has it's limitations (weight limit, no adjustments). Right in the middle of those two is this Mefoto Daytrip. I have only one complaint about the Mefoto Daytrip, and it's really not about the tripod itself; it's about the included plate. It's just not any good! Every time I go to re-position my camera against the friction of the ball head, the plate comes lose. It's also wide enough that it restricts the movement of my a7's tilting LCD to "up only". It's junk and it needs to be replaced. That said, once you have your own option for a plate, or in my case an L-bracket (always on, love the feel), it's a gem of a take-anywhere tripod. It lives inside my Lowepro Urban Reporter 250, and it's there whenever I need it. It's not as tall as a full sized tripod, and it doesn't convert to a monopod like the Roadtrip, but it's absolutely perfect for the small size and weight. When I inadvertently toss it off the side of a cliff or under a moving bus, I'm just going to buy another.

Best "Little" carry anywhere sticks

Got a set on a whim..well, kinda,, I liked the looks and the color choices was a fun little 'extra'. fast forward about a year later, and I was finding I was really needing more of these. ( Got a few cameras that all like to work at the same time) THese things are compact, sturdy, they WORK! Any maintenance is a hex wench & 5seconds away. I've only needed to do it once and I think that was a fluke. :-) Ok,, nitty gritty They are compact, easy to carry most anywhere,, if you have cargo pocket pants, you can slip a leg into a pocket and it will ride along that way. Mine still fold up nice and compact, even with Kessler Crane quick release plates on all of them. NOTES!! THese are not your tall tripods,, if all your shots involve you standing, and you hate getting low,,go elsewhere. Just pick the tool for the job! I like them because I never think of reasons I should leave it at home, If I need it taller I look around, and if no handy surfaces available, then I bitch about leaving the big brother at home, haha. They work great for video or stills. Highly suggested

As Advertised

MeFOTO Day Trip Mini is exactly as advertised. Holds the weight of my camera and macro lens. Would recommend.

Super size and quality

Solid with good controls on height level. Bubble level is kinda weird but everything else I love about this tripod.

Small tripod, Rock solid

Easy to use, set-up, Love the ball head feature, the quick disconnect, perfect for hiking, compact and light weight, good for camping, use on park benches, This little tripod can hold my Canon T5i and the Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens, I didn't want a cheesy plastic tripod, The Mefoto tripod I bought is QUALITY made, and a GOOD addition to my camera gear!!

MeFoto Day Tripod

Seems to be really well built - going to use it as a table top (or similar height) tripod to hold my cameras.

Great tripod for the $$$

Well constructed, highly adjustable, easy to transport and set up. Quicker than expected arrival by Adorama.

The MeFOTO DayTrip Mini White Tripod Kit features a mini tripod with a quick release ball head and a unique design that allows it to reverse-fold down to 9.4". At only 1.8 lb this is the tripod for photographers who claim that they don't want to lug around a tripod. The DayTrip doesn't sacrifice features for small size either. The Q00 Ball Head has a single large ergonomic knob for all pan and tilt adjustments as does the mini Arca-type quick release with a bubble level and included 1/4"-20 camera plate. The ball head and spider are finished in chocolate and echoed by accents on the legs' twist locks.

The legs each have a single extendable section that allows the DayTrip to rise to a maximum height of 24" with the center column extended and 17.3" with it retracted. Three-position independent leg spreading makes macro photography and uneven terrain a snap. The DayTrip comes with the Q00 Ball Head, camera plate and an attractive carrying case with a shoulder strap.

Portable
The DayTrip folds down to 9.4" making it easy to fit in even the smallest of bags. Bring it anywhere.

Get Low
Stability at the lowest of angles.

Strong Enough
Supports up to 8.8 lb.

Extendable up to 24"
Despite its small size, the DayTrip more than doubles in size with extendable center column and legs.

Super light
Weighing less than 2 lb means you don't have to worry about where you're going or what you're doing when you bring the DayTrip along.

Carry Case
Each MeFOTO comes with its own carrying case for transport and protection.

Be in your photos
The DayTrip is the perfect companion when on a solo outing or with friends and family. Set it up on the ground, rocks, steps, chairs, whatever your surroundings may be and be a part of the scene instead of the one missing from the photo.

Record the action
The DayTrip pairs perfectly with a GoPro so you can achieve non-shaky action footage and be in the action yourself.

Inverting Legs
Legs fold back 180 degrees to make this tiny tripod even more compact.

Compact
The tripod legs can be inverted and folded back 180deg. making it small enough to carry just about anywhere.

Three Leg Angle Positions
For an extra measure of flexibility, tripod legs can be independently locked into place at two different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on irregular surface areas, or at ground level.

Head and Pan Lock
Head tension and pan knob help make the right adjustment.

Integral Bubble Level
Get level when you set up to avoid uneven pans and head movements.

Reversible CenterColumn
Even though this tripod gets super low to begin with, reverse the center column and get even lower for awesome macro photography.

Two Leg Sections
Get the height you need and ultimate versatility.

Twist Lock Legs with Anti-Rotation System
