Review Summary

Lightweight and compact, it carries nicely in a medium sized Camelbak for long day treks. It’s surprisingly tall and easy to operate. When fully extended, it happily supports a mirrorless system (I use an X-T2), but a brisk wind will make the camera lightly sway. The ballhead is what you’d expect at this price point, creeping a bit after locking, but still functional. If you’re using large telephoto lenses, or anticipate windy weather, then you’d best get something sturdier. If you want a lightweight, serviceable tripod for occasional use on long walks and hikes, then it will work fine.

The MeFOTO BackPacker Air is their most lightweight and compact tripod yet. Ideal for smartphones, compact cameras, action cameras and small mirrorless cameras. BackPacker Air fits inside small and medium sized bags due to the unique HyperLock leg system where each leg section is nested into one group. Each tripod is available in 7 anodized aluminum finishes: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red and Titanium.
Operating the tripod is now faster as well because there is only 1 leg lock per leg instead of multiple locks per leg. A simple half turn unlocks the leg and it can be stopped at any position.
The telescoping center column converts to a selfie stick simply by removing the weight hook. Each tripod includes a spring-loaded smartphone adapter and a rechargeable Bluetooth remote with a clamp that attaches to the handle.
Tripod bag with carrying strap included. A matching camera plate in the same anodized aluminum finish as the tripod is also included.
The single action ballhead features an anodized aluminum housing and can support up to 8.8 lb payloads. A matching anodized aluminum Arca-Swiss style camera plate with a 3-in-1 screw is included.
What can you do with a tripod? A tripod is more than just a tool that keeps your camera steady. When you combine a tripod with your camera or smartphone you open up a world of creative possibilities.
