Best tripod I'd never heard of!

I've only used this tripod for a few weeks, and it's now the only one I use. This tripod is lite, and the fact that one of the legs can be used as a monopod, makes it a hit! The reversible legs make it so easy to pack in a go bag, without using up much space. Also, even know it is lite, it is very sturdy! I use it with a full frame DSLR and a 300mm lens. Over all, I can't be more pleased! Great value for the price!

Great travel tripod

This coupled with the Varavon 103HD Fluid Video Head has become a great, lightweight combo for travel. Throw this up with my A7Sii maybe a water bag hanging from the stem for a little more stability if really needed (most times not) and I'm good to go. This is been a clutch setup for situations in which I have the smallest window to get quick shots for BRoll or would rather spend more time in a quick interview with the talent rather then setting up.

Carbon Fiber

I compared this to the older line and this new line is better. The grip on the one leg is better and the weight of this is light for the carbon fiber. I like how it’s cheaper too. I would have given it 4.5 stars if there was an option. The reason i gave it 4 stars is because I wish it was easier to lock all legs at the same distance so the camera is leveled

MeFOTO S Travel Tripod/Monopod

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.
