Overall, great performance, really light weight and small size which fits perfectly in a backpack. . The adjustments of the legs is quick, but upper part can be hard to tighten and has a tendency to loosen. Biggest downside is that it becomes a bit shaky when extending fully and with a heavier lens (Sonya6000 + sony 18-105). I would recommend this for a lighter setup (e.g. mirrorless with a small lens)

If you're looking for a solid no-nonsense travel tri-pod, this one gets the job done in fantastic fashion. I guess I didn't realize that it also comes with a BLUE TOOTH remote shutter release for your phone, as well as a handy little bag that acts like a back-pack. I am way more impressed with this item than I thought I would be. I would expect a tripod of this quality to be more in the $ range.

I love that fact that this product folds to just a few inches. Also, it is very easy to assemble to the height that is good for me. My camera is also easy to attach.

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.

MeFoto tripod

I love that fact that this product folds to just a few inches. Also, it is very easy to assemble to the height that is good for me. My camera is also easy to attach.
The MeFOTO BackPacker Air, our most lightweight and compact tripod yet, is now available in Camouflage. The Camo pattern is made possible by water transfer printing which is also known as hyrdographics or camo dipping. 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. 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.

HyperLock leg locks
Each tripod and monopod uses our new HyperLock leg lock design, which is much faster than traditional tripods and monopods that have 9 to 15 leg locks. MeFOTO Air only has 1 lock per leg.
Selfie Stick/Telescoping center column
You can take selfies with the included Bluetooth remote and smartphone adapter. When used as a center column it telescopes for additional height when needed.
Lightweight
Way less to carry around. MeFOTO Air combines strong and lightweight materials making it possible to create a 2 lb tripod.
Compact size
Fits inside small and medium sized bags. This is due to the unique HyperLock leg system where each leg section is nested into one group.
Rigidity
Don't be fooled by the size and lightweight design. MeFOTO Air is as sturdy as they come. The HyperLock leg lock design is actually superior to some traditional tripod leg locks.
Ease of set up
User-friendly icons are located on the tripod and the ballhead so you don't need a user manual to figure it out.
Arca Swiss compatible
Air fits industry standard plates. Great if you already own Arca Swiss plates or previous MeFOTO tripods.
Colorful Anodized Aluminum Finish
MeFOTO uses high quality aluminum that is both strong and lightweight. The aluminum is anodized in 7 rich and colorful finishes: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red and Titanium.
