Enhance your photography experience with the 3POD TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod, a versatile and compact camera support system designed for the adventurous photographer. This travel-friendly tripod is crafted from industrial-strength carbon fiber, offering superior rigidity and durability compared to traditional aluminum tripods. The TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod is not just lightweight; it's a heavyweight contender in image stability. With eight layers of formidable carbon fiber design, it absorbs vibrations better than most aluminum-based tripods, ensuring your camera remains steady for that perfect shot. This tripod is designed for easy transport and quick setup, making it an ideal companion for photographers on the go. Despite its robust construction, it can support payloads up to a hefty 26 lbs. When not in use, it collapses into a compact 16.5-inch package, making it easy to pack with other equipment or fit into a suitcase. The TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod also doubles as a lightweight monopod, providing a versatile solution for photographers in need of different support options. The twist-lock telescopic legs cluster closely around the center column, allowing for an impressively compact traveling height of less than 17". Weighing in at a mere 2 pounds 2.6 ounces, this tripod is ultra-lightweight, making it easy to carry wherever your photography takes you. The center column can be extended to give the system a total height of 58" without compromising stability. The twist locks are fortified with a cutting-edge, wear-resistant internal structure, making them resistant to dust, moisture, and temperature changes. A retractable weight hook provides an additional counterbalance for hanging accessories. The removable 2-tiered center column allows for high-angle shots, while textured rubber pads at the base of each leg provide a slip-free hold on smooth surfaces. The legs lock in place with a 1/2 twist, with unique metal jacketed clamps that resist rust, loosening, and wear over time. Each leg angle is individually adjustable, allowing for compensation on uneven surfaces. One leg can be removed and transformed into a monopod that extends up to 47", offering even more flexibility for your photography needs. In conclusion, the 3POD TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod is a full-featured, versatile, and durable camera support system, ready to tackle any photography challenge you throw its way.

Very good tripod, like the conversion to monopod

Tripod

As someone who does a lot of astrophotography, I was looking for a tripod that strikes the right balance between weight, stability, and portability. Right out of the box, the build feels solid. The carbon fiber construction makes it extremely lightweight, which is perfect for travel, especially when you're hauling other gear into remote areas. My favorite unexpected features is the cylindrical carrying case. It's sleek and durable, 

The only issue I've had is with the ballhead. While it's functional for most general use, I've had trouble tightening it to a point where it doesn't move under force. I can still shift it, if I apply enough pressure.

Perfect for Astrophotography

My tripod arrived this week. The tripod box says the load capacity is 11lb/ 5kg. The Adorama website description says 26lbs. Adorama has not responded to my email asking about the discrepancy. It seemed to support my Z8 with 28-400mm lens. I wanted a little more safety margin. On the positive side it is lightweight and folds to easily fit in backpack or carryon luggage. Not sure it I'll keep it or return it.

load capacity concern

The 3Pod TREK Series Tripod is very sturdy lightweight and small enough to fit in a backpack. Like the fact it has a detachable leg that can be used as a monopod my equipment feels very secure on it and the Ballhead works great and when attached adds a little extra height when fully extended

Awesome, thank you very happy????????

Awesome, very happy??????????

Very light but sturdy. Perfect for the travel. Takes much less space than any other tripod.

Perfect for travel

Very good and perfect size for traveling. Worth the money.

Perfect for me

The price was very affordable for a carbon fiber tripod. Set it up with my Pentax 645d and it was sturdy and stable.

Carbon fiber tripod

Sturdy and lightweight. My only minor complaint is the legs have threaded compression adjustments, common type that work securely but are susceptible to dirt and sand getting in the threads under harsh conditions. A better design choice uses a flat paddle tensioner to lock the leg position. I have both types on a pair of tripods I own.

Good value

Just received and unboxed it and was completely satisfied with the overall weight. This was my biggest criteria when I was purchasing the Pod. Tri-pod looks nice. My biggest concern is the Arca Ball Head. I will need to use it more to comment on the head but as of right now...it makes me nervous. Just feels weak like it could fall. Maybe once I gain trust with the head it may be fine! So for now I will give it 4 Stars!

Light weight Tri-Pod and Head

A very sturdy tripod. The carbon fiber is smooth, the legs are strong, and it is compact. The tripod also comes with a nice case that is great for carrying it around in tight spaces. One thing that is a minus is that it is a little heavy for a lightweight travel tripod. Overall, it meets most of my needs.

Sturdy, Compact Tripod

This is not a sturdy tripod. The legs don't open wide enough, the next leg extension brings the legs way to far out. so a strong wind will give you camera shake even using my backpack for weight. Very dissapointed!.

good for emergency use

Great light in weight tripod. Seems well made. Preferred snap for leg locks in the past but these rotating ones work well and quickly. Nice pairing for my new gimbal head

Great light tripod

Combined with the head rated for 17 lb., I feel safe putting any of my camera equipment on this tripod. Provides sturdy support for the combination of a Nikon D780 and the 80-400mm lens.
