This tripod folds up small but is super solid. It looks heavier than 3.5 pounds, and supports a DSLR and heavier lenses just fine. Nice clip on bottom of main column allows extra support when attaching a backpack. I like it better than my main Manfrotto tripod.

I really like this stand, did a lot research to come to this purchase and its well worth it. Built like a tank, works really well and very robust.

Light weight and good build quality make this a good choice if you need a smaller tripod for travel. The reason for 3 star rating are the leg and center column locks. While very well made machined aluminum, the locks are not as easy to grip as rubber coated locks and feel too easy to loosen, as if they are not locked tight on the legs or center column.

The MeFOTO S Travel Tripod is designed specifically for on-the-go shooters who need a lightweight and versatile stabilization tool for capturing tack-sharp photos and smooth, ultra-stable videos during their travels. It has strong, lightweight legs that can be folded in reverse for a more compact form factor, allowing it to fit inside cases or be attached to camera bags with ease. It features a dual-action ballhead with an Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate and separate pan and ball locks, so you can set up and secure your camera in seconds. Its rubber feet ensure maximum stability on a wide range of surfaces while the legs come with special anodized aluminum twist locks with knurled surfaces to offer a secure and comfortable grip while opening and closing them. For those who want to switch it up and use this two-in-one travel tripod for stable handheld shooting, you can combine one of the legs with the center column and you can use it as a full-size monopod.The MeFOTO S comes in three sizes (BackPacker S, RoadTrip S, and GlobeTrotter S); five anodized color finishes (black, titanium, blue, red, and green); and two types of materials (aluminum and carbon fiber) to support virtually any type of camera.
The MeFOTO S Tripods are ready for travel on any photo adventure. The reverse folding design allows it to be super compact for fitting inside cases or attaching to camera bags. MeFOTO S features special anodized aluminum twist locks. These CNC machined aluminum twist locks have deep ridges for a solid grip. Each lock is anodized to give it a clean and protective finish.
You can convert the tripod into a full size monopod by combining one of the legs with the center column. MeFOTO S is available in three sizes (BackPacker S, RoadTrip S and GlobeTrotter S), five anodized finishes (Black, Titanium, Blue, Red and Green) and your choice of aluminum or carbon fiber.
The dual-action ballhead uses an Arca-Swiss style quick release plate and has separate controls for pan lock and ball lock. Ideal for smartphones, point & shoot, mirrorless, micro 4/3 and DSLR cameras.
