Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Great travel tripod

Very solid tripod that folds down to a small size. It is not as light as other travel tripods, but I am mostly concerned about size fitting into carry-on bags (and stability). The number of legs make it a little bit more difficult to open to full length (more to untwists and tighten). I looked at this model and a Really Right Stuff tripod. This one won out because of its size while being as stable.
